Father's Day Weekend

This past weekend was amazing. On Friday night we decided to head to Lafayette and spent Saturday on Lake Fosse on Tat and Omi's new boat. It is a beautiful boat and we had a blast! (Minus the heat). Isaac only wanted to sit in the captain's seat and he would get mad when Tat would try to steer. He was loving it out there. He didn't even get in a nap! He swam, got tugged with daddy behind the boat, and ate a LOT of fruit. HAHA. On Saturday afternoon we went to Nanny and Poppy's house for a late lunch. It was great to have everyone together, including Uncle Todd, Great Grammy, and Great Grandad. Then the guys went out and played golf. Thank you to all the dads in our lives! You all are wonderful :)

Look what I can do!

I've noticed lately that Isaac has been getting better and better with the spoon. Ever since he started grabbing at it, I've given him a spoon so that he can get used to how to use it. And of course, he watches us while we eat as well. Here is a video from this past weekend of him feeding himself oatmeal. He does a spoonful (followed by a handful!) haha

Trip to Biloxi!

So I know this is Isaac's blog but I wanted to share that Andrew and I had an amazing weekend away this past weekend. It was an early aniversary celebration as well as a chance for me to see my favorite group in concert!So on Friday we ate out and then went to the concert and then dancing/drinking after.On Saturday we woke up late, ordered room service, went to the pool, and then out to eat. It was the first time I've ever been in a different state than Isaac. He spend one day/night with Nanny and Poppy and got to go to the zoo...he spent the other half day with Grandma. Thank you so much to all of you for helping out!! And thank you to Andrew for being so sweet for taking me to this concert :) I know it wasn't his idea of fun!

Crawfish Boil at Tat's

We had a crawfish boil/family reunion at Tat and Omi's house a couple of weeks ago. Isaac had a blast. He helped Tat clean the crawfish and the onions, and he even got to go swimming. Goddie came with us as well so the whole gang was there! We are so blessed to have such awesome people in the family!

Starting Daycare

Isaac started daycare last week. We're taking him to Spring Ridge Academy (thanks for the rec Ms. Deb!).It's been difficult...for me at least. Andrew and I brought him on the first day and he did well. We started him part time until Andrew starts school (in 2 weeks) just to ease him into it. The first day went well but then I had to bring him one morning and it was horrible. He clung to me like crazy and screamed. I cried all the way to work. Ugh. But I picked him up yesterday and he was playing outside iwth his new friends. I know it'll take some getting used to (for both of us) but it's been really tough. On his first day, I cried ALL day at work. I can't believe he's such a big boy now. The people are really nice there and we're comfortable leaving him in that environment so that makes me happy. Here are some pics....Oh yeah, and random note: can you believe he sleeps on a big boy mat? *boo hoo*

Mother's Day

This year for Mother's Day we went to my cousin Maritza's house for a crawfish boil. It was fun to get the cousins together with all the children. Some of the kids also went swimming. The night before we had went to dinner with Andrew's parents to celebrate the day with them. Oh, and on Friday I got flowers delivered to work :) I am so blessed.

Me with my flowers at work. I'm a nerd :)

Vineyard at the Park

The church has an event every year at the City Park Carousel Gardens but we obviously haven't been able to go in a couple of years. This year we went with Nanny, Grandma, and Aunt J. We had a blast! Isaac ran around like crazy as usual. He also went on the train around the park, the carousel (a couple of times!) and the big slide. I'm sad because I took a video of that with Nanny and Aunt J but it was too dark :( Here are some pics!
