Day in the Sun and Lumberjacks

Isaac is really becoming a little boy. He loves to get into everything and play outside. He loves cars and balls. He likes to roll the ball back of forth and chew on it. He is very sweet and has become very good at sharing. He shares with Liesie without being asked, even by her. He will see her in the middle of the room without a toy and bring one to her. Although there is such a thing as to much sharing- you can see him giving her a vanilla wafer and she may drown my cell phone in too much drool one day. She has just started crawling! She can already pull herself into standing against furniture too! It is very cute when she follows Isaac around. He will crawl 4 steps and turn to watch her and go 4 more. They both think it is very fun. They have become very good friends, laughing together and pulling eachothers hair. Pamela and Isaac are flying to Utah on Monday to see Jonathan!!! We are very excited for Jonathan and Isaac to have some good quality play time and all excited to see eacother. We will find out the gender of the baby on Febuary 23rd. The weather in Texas is wonderful. Pamela and the kids have been playing outside and the pictures are of a day in the backyard. Isaac is dressed as a cowboy and as a lumberjack in the pictures of him eating a pancake. For those who don't know, Pamela had an unofficial lumberjack club where you dress up as a lumberjack and eat pancakes (from even stevens). Isaac is following suit, Pancakes are his favorite.

New Developments

We are very grateful for all the blessings we have seen coming from Heaven. Jonathan is now living with his boss Louis. For those who don’t know, Louis is from New Zealand, is Mormon, served his mission in California, plays tennis ect. Basically Jonathan and he are long lost twins. Louis is married with four children and is letting Jonathan live in his upstairs loft while we’re apart. We are very grateful, it saves us a lot of money and Jonathan finally had a decent meal yesterday. We are overwhelmed by how kind and generous people have been to us and to realize God really does watch over us. Pamela and Isaac are having fun in Texas with Julie Jason and Liesie. Isaac and Liesie have become good friends and Isaac is getting so good at sharing. He is really growing up (as always). Yesterday he didn’t listen to me on purpose when I said ‘no’. In fact he did was he wasn’t supposed to a little more, looked me right in the face and laughed. I thought it was too funny to be upset. He listened today. When Isaac heard his Dad’s voice he got very excited and crawled over to the computer to see if his Dad was on the webcam- he still remembers him! Yay!
We are very excited to all be together in 2 weeks! Pamela and Isaac will fly down to Texas during Jason’s spring break. It will be so nice to see each other after being apart. The insurance has finally been settled and we will find the gender of the baby soon. Today is Pamela’s check up with her new Dr. and then she can make the gender appointment (likely in 3 weeks). Pamela will be so excited for either gender, although she feels like it is a girl and really wants to name her Alexandra (we’d call her Allie).

isaac exploring

I have a lot of cool videos of isaac but i guess my computer can't handle posting more than one so we'll have to see if i can post more than this later! I am trying to teach him to share which he is decent at, but not stealing is a little harder. In this video he is stealing Liesie's socks and i am trying to get him to stop while taking a video. The other videos that i will try and post are him on the stairs, climbing on furniture and waving. He is becoming very skilled and is no longer a little baby! He is growing up!

Valintine's

Jonathan is still working hard at work and at school. He is alone in Utah now and has a steady diet of donuts, ramen and buffalo wings. He will join us in Texas upon graduation. Pamela is having fun watching Isaac and his cousin Annaliese. She brought a piece of utah with her to Texas - it snowed 7 inches yesterday. Isaac and Liesie get along pretty well. They like to be around eachother and Isaac is decent a sharing toys. I've decided they can be eachother's valintine's. I took some pictures of the cute kiddos for Valintine's day. Isaac is sick and wouldn't participate very well so you make see some retakes of them together in a few weeks. Enjoy.
