UPDATE....Long Over Due

So many of you mentioned that we missed Isaac's 10 month posting...yes you are absolutely correct. Life has been, well, a little crazy. You say, yes, you have 2 small children, duh! No, really crazy, we have been displaced from our home since Jan. 30th. Some of you know that with the crazy rains we had at the end of Dec. our home leaked again. It seems that it has been leaking for some time, so the damage is pretty extensive and there is mold. So in the process of packing up the necessities we totally spaced on taking Isaac's picture. We did however, remember to go back and pick up Enzo for any potential pictures to come.


So on Jan. 30th we were extremely blessed to stay in a fully furnished, ENORMOUS home in Murrieta for the first 2 weeks. It was wonderfully fabulous! While in the big house, Isaac did start walking! He took his first 2 steps to Auntie Donna on Feb. 2nd and then 2 more to me the next day. He also learned to crawl up stairs in the house too! Asher was able to play outside in the backyard almost everyday after breakfast, lunch and dinner. Making memories in that house was so special, you walk in the door and the feeling is so homey and blessed.

We have since moved into a hotel in Temecula on the 12th and 13th of February and will be here until sometime in March, looks like the middle of March. We do have two suites at the hotel, so we have a little wiggle room. Asher gets in a little running from one end of one suite to the end of the other. He runs down the hall too when we come and go. His most favorite part is the alligator...I mean elevator. He gets the two mixed up from time to time. The cafe staff just love the boys and are so helpful. Taking the boys down to breakfast every morning has been a little challenging, but hey, less dishes for me! We are adjusting pretty well. Isaac is walking and walking more and more every day. It is so fun to see him be so excited about his accomplishment. Still NOOOOOO TEETH, but hey maybe by the time he turns 1! I plan to post an 11 month picture with Enzo, so if anything major happens, I will be sure to include an update.

Here are some pictures we have taken while on our extended vacation...

A fun outing to the park with Auntie Donna before moving day.

LOVE THE HAIR!!!

The day before the next moving day, we were blessed by Grams to go to the Wild Animal Park. My boys first time and we had so much fun. One of my favorite exhibits is the Roars, I mean Lions. They just seem so up close. Asher did much roaring of his own!

Isaac just hanging out enjoying all the sights to see and lots of people watching.

Erik and Asher walking through a giant hollow tree trunk.

What a cheese...look at the boy next to Asher...it's like he is thinking what is up with that cheesey kid. Asher liked being able to go up and touch the animals.

A great picture of Grams, Erik and Asher.

So far the only picture I have taken while at the hotel...this little birdie came to visit today while the boys were playing with toys in their room. Asher had so much fun talking to him and after I snapped these pics, he had to get his camera and take pics too, but he kept telling the birdie to, "CHEESE! BIRDIE!"

The bird was just sitting there in the rain. It really was a pretty bird too, I don't think I have ever seen this species of bird.

More too come...
