A Few Pictures -- Part 2

Isaac swinging at the ONE park I have found in Southern California with SHADED toys!  Really, people?  This is SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!!!!!

He's so red from the heat!  But he was having so much fun!

I love this picture for SOOOOO many reasons.  It was January of this year, which means that getting back to "me" and losing pregnancy weight and body IS possible!  But even more than that, Dave and I had just been taking my friend Dani's engagement pics.  And we decided to take some of me and of us.  He's the kind that will tell me to pose, not smile, look natural, etc.  And I was kind of sick of all of that and just started to PLAY!  MUCH BETTER!  Yes, it was as fun as it looks.  You should see some of the other pictures.  One of my favorites is the moment I told Dani, after hours of posed engagement pics, "You HAVE to try this!  Just break loose -- it's really, REALLY fun!"  Eternal. principle. right. there.

This picture captures Isaac in new situations SO WELL!!!  He wants to LOVE them . . . but there is that hesitancy and trepidation that always comes out right at first.  Then . . . WATCH OUT, you can't hold him back! Oh, and that's a horse he's standing next to.  It would probably scare me, too, to be that close!

Wee!!!!  Every time I tried to get her to stop, she said, "No, no, no, no! More! No! Push!"

It looks like I'm having a lot more fun than he is.  But really, I just know when to smile for the camera . . . and he could care less!  He's probably looking at something he's contemplating running off and doing.

In the leafy treetops . . . . Abby at the Zoo.  Dave put her in the tree, and she thought it was SO COOL!

At Dave's sister's wedding last June . . . how a year FLIES by, huh?

She LOVES her ice!  And I mean . . . L-O-V-E-S it!!!

Yes, he DOES look like his Daddy!

Raggedy Ann and Andy for Halloween!

This picture SHOUTS -- "FINALLY!!!"

Abby's the "dig in and get your hands dirty" kind of gal!  After my own heart!

The look of sheer JOY on their faces is priceless!  Can you tell I photoshopped out the evidence of them being allergic to G & G's farm animals?  I'm new at this -- have patience!  You should have seen the cars I tried to photoshop out of a parking lot.  Whew!  Definitely have a lot to learn!

And Abby approaches new adventures with ZEAL!  She could swing for HOURS without tiring.  And I mean H-O-U-R-S!
