Sleepy

Last week he wasn't feeling well and he would rest his head on the highchair during meals.

29 going on 60

A friend of mine suggested that we read Devotions for a Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas. It has a years worth of devotions that you do weekly. Well, this week we read the chapter titled Growing Old Together and it quotes a study in Social Psychology Quarterly. That study states that the happiness of most couples declines somewhat for the first 20 years of marriage, but those who make it to their 35th anniversary find themselves as happy with each other as they felt when they were newlyweds. That means that I will be as happy as a newlywed when I'm 60! I can't stop thinking about us when we're in our sixties. Tonight at dinner I was looking at David wondering if he would be eating with false teeth when he's that old. Then I started wondering if the restaurant would still be there. But all the while I was thinking that we would be as happy as we are tonight when we are all wrinkly.

6 Month Doctor Appointment

Weight 20 lbs. 4 oz. 87%; Height 28 1/2 inches 96%; Head 17 1/8 inches 38%
Also has the other front bottom tooth poking through. Pretty rough day with the tooth and 3 shots but he's very healthy. We are now starting stage 2 and stage 3 foods.

Swimming in the baby pool

David took Isaac to the baby pool today and Isaac can touch the bottom to move around the pool. He loves it.

Another basket

This one I made for my car to hold Isaac's toys. I cut the height down by half from the last basket and I absolutely love this one.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Birthday David!

Here's his present, a nice weed-free garden.

Telling me he's finished

Happy Half Birthday!

6 month pictures with George. Isaac's Half Birthday cake, that we enjoyed.

Park Pics

Finally some decent family pictures. The latest family picture I could find was the one of us on the beach where David is missing a shirt and I look like a whale. If you click on this picture, you can get a good look at that tooth. Isaac's favorite new past time is pulling hair.

Chitown

Since Emme is here, we took a little trip to Chicago for the night (my first time there). Coming into town I wasn't sure I liked Chicago, because the traffic was horrible. But by the end of the stay I decided I'd come back because there is so much more that I want to do there. We had a wonderful time at Navy Pier, then did an architectural boat tour, and finished the night at a Brazilian steak house. Saturday we were off on a gangster tour to see Chicago by land, and that was fun. David won a gangster stories book written by one of our tour guides "Al Dente," which I read on the way back to Indy.

Slap Happy

Fabulous Stay-cation

Isaac's NyNy has been here playing with him a lot. While they've been playing I've been busy. It's been a vacation but I get stuff done around the house. It has been awesome. I haven't blogged about all of these because I wanted to surprise David and also see what he notices around the house. I made this cuddly quilt. Probably a huge surprise for my mom, but it was kit. I thought the fabric was already cut, but it wasn't. That is one thing that I'm not that good at, so it has some mistakes but it's still cuddly.

I made this fabric basket, idea from here.

I painted the upstairs loft area, and hung some pictures.

Also painted this wall in our living room. I wanted to make the fireplace stand out.
