Never a Dull Moment

I realized that I've been writing so much about our anticipation to bring home Aryn, that I haven't really written about the most amazing little guy in the entire world. Isaac is such a bundle of energy it takes a lot of energy just to keep up with him and then it takes great talent to capture him on "film" so that we can look back on it. He is a ham with the camera, but he tends to run towards it and out of the picture if given the opportunity. So many photos are of his head and while I've been deleting them, perhaps I should save them to show that he always had boundless energy and so that I can truly appreciate the photos where he actually is in them.

The most exciting event in the past month would have to be our Sunday, December 5th trip to the Centra Care Urgent Care Center for stitches. Here we are waiting to be discharged after the doctor finished patching him up. It turned out that the doctor was able to use a special butterfly tape/glue so that he didn't have to go through the trauma of stitches.

I woke up to Craig calling for me, "Gretchen! Gretchen! We have to take Isaac for stitches!" Isaac had fallen off the arm of the couch where he was trying to get to the computer. Instead of reaching his intended destination, Daddy's lap and the computer chair, he fell catching his head on the desk and getting a nice slice that was about 3/4" to 1" long and about 1/4" deep. Luckily it wasn't really a bleeder and Isaac was a real trooper! So brave!! As the doctor worked on his head he squeezed my hand.

As we waited to be discharged we were able to watch YouTube and found some Signing Time videos and Elmo.

Here are some pictures from our November 27th visit to EPCOT with Uncle Joe and Zoe. Isaac was thrilled to spend the day with his favorite cousin while she visited from New York. He can't wait until she comes back for Christmas!

I love Zoe & Uncle Joe! (He looks so intense here. He really wanted to ride on the edge of the tram and doesn't get it that he isn't big enough according to Mickey.)

"Where's the Fire" is our favorite game! Yeah!!! Zoe was on our team!!!

The ride in Mexico is fun, but playing the bongos is even more fun! Isaac is becoming a very musical little man. He loves to sing and play any instrument he can get his hands on.

The highlight of our day was our visit with Santa Clause! Wow! We were so excited to learn that Santa and Mrs. Clause made a special visit to EPCOT!

Isaac was very excited and we purchased rain ponchos so that we could wait in line to tell Santa what we wanted for Christmas.

Here he is looking up at Santa, I wonder what was going through his mind. He wasn't saying a word, just looking.

Here he is telling Santa, "I want.... car truck!!!" He was so intent. Some people look at this picture and say that he looks scared. He wasn't scared at all. He was very excited and very intent. This is one little boy that knows exactly what he wants! Stay tuned to see if Santa and his elves are able to make a car truck for Isaac!
