Isaac has gotten himself a little farmer's tan right now due to all the sun he is getting at daycare. He also gets to play every evening with Marvin and mom in the backyard. He really likes to be outside and throw Marvin's toys for him. The dog and the toddler are still just tolerating each other, but Marvin has allowed Isaac to pet him and has become more patient with Isaac.
Isaac got two more teeth at the beginning of this month. We had thought it was three at one point, and we are sure that he isn't done, we just don't know when they will come in!
Isaac had a great Easter. His mom was finally relaxed, because she had her Spring Break the previous week and she had turned in her final research paper for her graduate school work. It looks like she will be graduating on May 13th! Although she won't be attending the actual ceremony, some ideas are in the works to help her celebrate this accomplishment. Anyways, we decided to cook and celebrate with friends since we wouldn't be able to make it to see family. We met our friends Bruce and Christine at a local park to have lunch together. After some miscommunication on Annalee's part, we finally found each other and laid out our picnic appetizers. We had some wonderful crackers, glorious cheese, and tasty grape tomatoes. Then for our main course, we had ham, deviled eggs, warm balsamic potato salad, and greek yogurt coleslaw. The crown jewel on this meal was the lemon tart that Christine made. It was amazingly awesome, and I know that some are already planning for its next appearance! Bruce and Chris played with Isaac's toys, and we all took a long walk up to the putt-putt course. We got to see some people flying kites and narrowly avoided being hit. We also passed some great barbecues (especially a Korean chruch, that I almost filled up a plate at!). Isaac fell asleep in my arms on the way to the car, so we all headed home to take naps.
That night, we went to some other friends' house to have Easter dinner with them. Erin, Jacob, and Austin went all out for the Easter gathering. Austin and Isaac had fun playing outside together. Erin made cooked carrots, green bean casserole, corn mash, mashed potatoes, ham, asparagus, and rolls. We brought some deviled eggs again that were a big hit. Isaac ate most of his dinner and some of Austin's. We really enjoyed spending time with everyone, and we were spoiled with all the food. We took cheesecake home, because we didn't have room for dessert! Isaac was exhasuted, but he had a great day of playing and interacting with lots of fun people! Thanks to our friends for spending a the holiday with us and thanks to our families for thinking o fus even when so far away!
