Happy boy

We've been visiting Isaac's paternal grandparents in South Carolina. Is Isaac enjoying the visit?

This picture should answer that question. Doesn't he look like a happy boy?

The last time we were here was in December 2006, when Isaac was 15 months old. He had a terrible cold and wasn't very happy. Oh, we did have some fun then, but we're having even more fun this time.

We have visited the zoo, looked at beaver dams, toured Grandpa's golf course, played at two parks, and shopped at a toy store. Isaac has received almost more presents than I can list, including puzzles, art supplies, hiking boots decorated with light-up trucks, at least 20 little vehicles, and a tricycle. Every day Grandma has given him a cookie with a candy vehicle on top. And Grandpa let him steer the golf cart.

The highlight for Isaac, I think, has been the tricycle. He can't pedal it yet, but he's absolutely thrilled when we push him around the block on it.

Perhaps he's also happy because he has so many adoring family members under one roof. It's not often he gets a week straight of both Mama and Dad -- not to mention Grandma and Grandpa, uncles Dylan and Wade, and Wade's girlfriend Judy. There's a lot of attention to go around. We're lucky that everyone could come to visit at the same time!

Did you notice Isaac's new haircut? That's my handiwork. It ended up shorter than I had intended, but I'm pretty happy with it.
