Cute!
I forgot to put this in the previous post:At night, Isaac chooses a Bible story or two to read from his toddler Bible and then we talk about it and pray. Last week, after our story about Baby Moses.... "Isaac, who made the animals? "God". "Who made Isaac?" "Mom and dad!"

The icks
I just love that picture. Isaac was just messing around one morning and found some training pants. Took off his pj pants and put them on himself. Then he made a new "bed" on the floor for himself too. The icks have invaded here. I have a cough/congestion/sore throat, Mark has the cough/sore throat and Isaa

Open windows in November!
It's currently 58* degrees here! WOW! I love to prolong closing up my windows for winter. Today is a perfect day to open the curtains, blinds and windows!!Isaac and I took advantage of the nice weather and walked up to the library this morning. He loves to walk "to the train tracks" and then play at the library too. I enjoy Thursdays and Fridays when Isaac is home for me.

He wouldn't put the costume on so I guess we're set for next year! The bubbles and pencils are actually going over pretty we

Rain Rain...
I'm tired of rain. It's rained off and on for the last couple weeks. Blah. The temps are cold, below average for this time of year in Iowa. Doesn't make me look forward to winter at all.Staying busy. In fact, I should be doing something right now during quiet time. I have pulled the chairs and table off the "dining area" to be swept and mopped so that will be done as soon as I finish this.Had a tree trimmed in the backyard. Mark cut down a small tree and trimmed some others around our yard. My burn pile was pretty big. Now we are replacing the front sidewalk. At least the weather is supposed t
