Between Thanksgivings

On the trip from our first Thanksgiving dinner to our second, Isaac was trying to sleep. Apparently, mom and dad were being a bit loud…

Happy Thanksgiving, from Iassc the grouch!

Shopping Trip With the Whole Family

We hit the Kroger today after nap #1. Isaac doesn’t like stopping for @onceamonthmom’s coupon madness.

Mad skillz

I was just commenting to family members two nights ago how I’d never seen Isaac’s tongue. Of course I can look in his mouth and see it but for all of my trying I could never get him to stick it out.

Well today at lunch I was rewarded with this! What you don’t get excited when your child sticks their tongue out at you? Yes, I will likely vise this day at some point in the future, but for now I think it is hilarious.

Happy Birthday to Cortney!

This evening we had a blast hanging with the Loyd family, including Jeremy and Cortney’s parents! It’s Cortney’s birthday, so we did some grilling and enjoyed some seriously frozen (and delicious) ice cream cake. Photos below…

He’s 9 Months Old Today

Tricia — Thu, 21 May 2009 01:55:54 +0000

I have a full post, pictures, and videos planned for you but I am out of town and need a day or two more to put it together. In the meantime, here is my new faorite picture! Ben sent this to me today so I could get my “Isaac” fix. I almost high-tailed it to the airport to come straight home. Too cute!

Hanging at the park

Isaac and I decided to hit the park today. It was quite beautiful, so we did a little swinging too!

It just wasn’t quite the same without mom…

In search of a BLT!

Tricia — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 18:42:52 +0000

For Valentines Day Ben suggested we go out for lunch opposed to dinner. Sounded good to me, especially since I am doing childcare at church this evening.

When we were discussing where to go Ben came up with the great idea of hunting down a good BLT! The man knows the way to my heart (it helps that he is obsessed with bacon too).

Now the key to a great BLT is finding a good mom and pops place in the middle of a small town. We ended up in Fairborn at a place called Rousch’s. It was definitely a small town place. (Imagine our surprise when we walked in with only $5 cash and realized they didn’t take credit cards!)

The atmosphere and service were great but unfortunately the BLT was lacking. There were only a few shreds of lettuce and only one slice of tomato for the entire sandwich! Isaac didn’t care there was only one tomato, he really wanted it, as you can see. Oh well, not the best BLT ever but a fun experience.

Happy Valentines Day!

Go, Go Gadget Legs!

I dressed Isaac this morning in this fun little romper he got for Christmas. I swear it fit last time he wore it. My dryer is either on shrink mode (I dry everything on low) or my son has giant legs! And, no, they aren’t suppose to be shorts! I suppose until shorts season comes along we may have to abandon romper!

Inauguration Day!

Isaac taking in his first Inauguration Ceremony!

Absolutely Amazing Wife

Ben — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 04:34:31 +0000

I was just thinking a bit about all the sacrifices my wife has had to make in the past few months and thought I should let her (and all you other moms and wives) know how appreciated you are.

Tricia has spent an amazing amount of time lately trying to find ways to save money. With the birth of our son, our decision for her to stay home and my new business, things are a bit tight. It’s so easy for us as husbands to miss all the effort that goes into keeping our homes in order, our babies (not to mention ourselves) fed and all the other crazy things my wife manages to squeeze into a day. So, while it may all seem mundane or routine to you, Tricia, it is making a difference and it does not go unrecognized.

I thank the Lord that he’s given me such an amazing homemaker as my wife, and I pray that He help me to demonstrate that appreciation every day.
