Isaac finally started crawling yesterday! Woot! Woot!!
He did it in front of Dan in the morning as we were getting ready to head out to for a long walk to the park. Once we got home from the park, I grabbed the camera and caught him crawling!
Here goes:

Blanket Fort
My two older boys are totally cool dudes. They made this awesome fort of blankets, inspired by Emery during her visit when she made a fort. I believe they were reminded of how fun forts can be, and not only made this but slept in it overnight.
Here are the pics of this rockin' fort:

Updating
I've not had much energy or opportunity to really do any blogging lately. We've had stressors of additional court custody battles, Dan's schooling, and finding a new day care center for Isaac to really have much time to be blogging. Maybe I should have focused more on blogging, as it could be somewhat therapeutic, but I made other choices and here I am today. I'm blogging.
I've noticed in the last several weeks my energy levels really dropping. Once I get home from work, I've barely the energy to change clothes, let alone cook dinner, or even worse - clean.
But something changed yesterday. It was a beautiful day. The wind was blowing, the clouds bussling, and tempurature rised to just over 70 degrees and it was wonderful. Dan had more energy than I've seen him have in a while now, and was in the mood to smoke some meat. It is a pass time he thoroughly enjoys. Just as much as he enjoys smoking meat, he enjoys sharing it with others. The conversation that goes along with enjoying a huge, smoked meat and side dish meal. It is the perfect combination for a perfect evening with friends.
So, my big brother and his family came by to enjoy it all with us along with my dear friend Barbie.
We all ate, and we laughed, and more guests showed up which made it that much more fun and special. The Witt's enjoyed some of the smoked meat as well, even though they were already full from their previously eaten meals.
It was great.
We heard the laughter of the children playing in the back yard, giggling at the imaginary monster that was chasing them so. We enjoyed the fire in the fire pit and s'mores and chocolate covered strawberries that were worth the wait.
Barbie brought some delicious s'mores cookies and some Price Chopper made macNcheese. It is important to mention that it was Price Chopper macNcheese, because it's not Kraft - it's better than that. It is more fatty, more cheesy, and similar to what you'd find at KFC. Yum.
Then the baked potatoes. Need I say more?
My refrigerator has more beer in this morning than I think it's ever held before, and there was many a beer drunk last night by then men in the house.
It was also very interesting and entertaining that the men ended up outside with the fire and the kids, and us women-folk were relaxing in the living room on the ever-so-comfy couches just chatting the evening away.
This morning, I feel energized. Like my battery was recharged with the high energy and laughter of awesome friends and great food. Definately need to do that more often.

Isaac yelling at his toy.
Isaac is trying to sit up on his own - although this looks like I'm holding him up, I'm not. I just have my legs there in case he falls over, he's sitting up pretty well, I think! His little scream at his toy is really funny - enjoy!~

Christmas pictures
Yeah - we got Christmas pictures done already - Go ahead and laugh...
Here's a glimpse. I'm not so sure I like these pics - I can't tell if the lighting was off, or if red just isn't our color - I think we'll go back to dark colors next year...
