He can talk... he can talk... he can TALK!

... and snort and sniff and count and kiss and poke his eye and look for his sister... and, oh yeah, pass gas! (He is pure boy!)

Bob your head....

Layla has been "practicing" guitar hero so that she can beat her Daddy!

But, to get the "rhythm", she has to stand up and bob her head! Well, I don't know if you would call it "bobbing", more like "jerking", and sometimes her leg moves too!

What can I say? She got it from her momma! (The being uncoordinated that is, not the dance moves!)

Enjoy!

Iggles and Bubbles

If you were to ride in the car with Isaac and I, to or from work, which is a 30 minute drive, you would be blessed with listening to "The Wiggles"! Let me say, I like the group, Layla listened to them as this is her CD; but, I'm tired of wiggling! (Woooo!) The only thing that keeps me going is that now, Isaac has learned some of the songs and is actually singing. It is quite funny because he anticipates certain phrases, and when they are almost there, he belts them out! At one point the song goes "Wiggle! Wooooo! Wiggle! Woooo! Wiggle along with me." Well, Isaac is "wooooo-ing" as they are "wiggling"! And another song is about different dance moves, and after one dance they sing "Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh!" I would say that is his favorite part of all....

As you can tell, I've listened to the CD a lot. Today, I sent it with Jessica when I dropped Isaac off. Maybe Mason and Isaac will LOVE it together, and I will never have to hear it for the 17 miles between Reidsville and Vidalia. Maybe not. Then, I would miss my little man singing. (I did give Jessica a warning that went like this, "Do NOT listen to the one about the lion and the unicorn. Do NOT because I'm sure people have committed suicide to that song!" I'm not joking either!)

Since Isaac will only sing and wiggle in the car, I cannot get a video or a good picture of him! I wish I could, because then I would save it to show his wife and children one day!

But, since I could take a picture of him playing in the bathtub with bubbles... here it is!

California

David and I just took a trip to Monterey, California for an educational conference with the high school. In reality, it was a mini-vacation without our children, which most of you know was very painful for me!

We had a great time overall! Our travel there and back was eventful and tiring due to layovers and stops. And, it didn't help my nerves that the second day we were there, Canadian Geese brought down a plane in the Hudson River. We went to San Francisco for two days, did the 17-mile drive (which was breathtakingly beautiful), ate a lot of good food, checked out a British Pub and oh yeah, David attended a LITTLE bit of the conference!

The weather was perfect! It was in the 70's during the day and 40's at night.... while our children were freezing in Florida. We enjoyed the time, but missed them so much. Isaac punished me for a week for leaving him, but Layla wasn't ready to come home!
