Goofing around with Isaac:
Fun with toothbrushes, dancing. Oh yeah, and the dog. Hmmm....

You trust me with your kids?
Sooooo, Becky and Brian came for a visit last Friday and left Isaac in my care (with the assistance of Chris) for awhile while they visited Kathy and her new baby.
I immediately felt bad because Isaac figured out my TV in about 10 seconds. And I knew Becky had, early on, been trying to keep Isaac from even knowing what a TV is. Turns out my worrying was for naught since he's already figured out electronics at their house.
The most important lesson Isaac has learned: never give up control of the remote! Take it in the bathroom if necessary.
Turns out Isaac also likes to rock out to the music, really really loud. No surprise since I always figured his parents were a couple of headbangers.
I took some video this night too including some funny stuff involving a toothbrush but it will have to wait for another night.
In other news:
Isaac knows baby signs! Even more surprising, I know baby signs!! Having seen Toby do it, I recognized Isaac signing more after he finished his milk.
We survived the night and my cats survived an entire weekend with the other Spratke child, Mr. Blue.
Don't forget to floss....

Girl's Night with One Special Guy
Becky invited a few of us girls for an overnight visit with promises of wine, warm fire and the attentions of a little cutie with lots of affection. She had me at hello!
The weather threatened to put a damper on things- it was so cold and Dawn had long drive with cruddy roads but we made both made it to Grand Rapids for an afternoon of shopping before returning to the house to start dinner.
I made this tasty dish of Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce over Pasta which we had along with a yummy fresh salad. And, for an appetizer- some addictive guacamole and chips!
Oh and wine. A lot of wine. In front of the fire. It was just like Becky promised. The affectionate cutie even stayed up late to entertain us.
The next morning, Becky, Dawn and I sat around and chit-chatted. Isaac even sat at the table with us and laughed right along almost like he knew what we were saying. Later, we played in the living room.
Don't tell mom what I'm doing:
Kids sure do move fast

Family
As a thank-you gift to Chris's mom, for allowing me to stay in her home over Christmas, I made a scrapbook album. A few samples:

Happy New Year
We rang in 2008 last night by going out on the boat and watching some fireworks. Chris and I then went to Hog Heaven (by boat) and had a few drinks and watched some more fireworks at the 1 AM afterparty.
Chris would like me to tell you that I'm cheating with this picture
