Success

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exltation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...this is to have succeeded." _Ralph Waldo Emerson_

Ringing in the New Year Busy Busy

Starting out the year a bit cold around here....Rob doesn't believe me that I can see my breath...inside.













Those trucks and cars from Christmas haven't had a break yet. Isaiah even makes sure to fill them all up with gas at the parking garage.














Wrestling matches with friend Eli have been more frequent lately. Even when the attempt was to play soccer...they still find time to squeeze in a little wrestling match...or as Isaiah so aptly puts it, "TACKLE."


































As Eli took the upper hand, Isaiah sqeeling with delight kept saying, 'stuck!' Very funny.
















Isaiah seems to think now too, that all kids are as tough as his big dog Tahoe....but the trouble is, Tahoe takes quite a bit more abuse than his friends are willing to take.













The parties haven't ended....
Happy Birthday Sheldon!



























Isaiah, is turning into quite the conversationalist with people he doesn't even know. He warmed up to all the big people at the party and was a little heart breaker.














And of coarse a new year, with new things to fix. Rob told Isaiah he was going to fix the sink. Isaiah came running back with his 'hammer' and screw driver....ready to go and help daddy fix the leaking sink.
