A whim

I decided on a whim today to go and get Isaac's picture taken. He didn't want to stand still to let the girl take his picture. Luckily, the portrait studio now uses digital cameras and can kind of chase the kids around. All Isaac wanted to do was play with the balls and the blocks. It was a tough shoot for the girl taking the pictures. I think she lucked into this one, but it was adorable and it was free. A great combination.

Our new favorite diversion!

AHHHH the joys of living in Hershey and getting season passes to Hershey Park! We go once or twice a week and because of the passes, we stay a few hours in the morning and are home before lunch. Isaac is learning the joys of amusement park rides. So far, his favorite is the carousel. He loves to go "up-and-down". That one he can ride by himself (well, I don't have to sit on the horse with him). Everything else, Mom has to ride with him. He is quite the little chicken/mama's boy. There are a few rides that Mom's can't go on. So he won't ride them. (Have you ever tried squishing yourself into one of those little rides???) We are hoping that a little more exposure will cure him of this clinginess.

The other great thing about Hershey is Chocolate World. There is this ride there that takes you on a "tour" of the chocolate factory. It starts with these singing cows that are just hilarious. Isaac loves to ride the "tour" and see these cows (Mom has the narrative about down. Ask her to quote it. . . just kidding) The best part of the whole thing is the nice lady at the end that gives you chocolate!! A ride/diversion/time waster that gives you a treat at the end. "Hershey's chocolate, real milk chocolate...Hershey's the great american chocolate bar!!"

Kitchen

As many of you know, we are in the process of remodeling our kitchen. We aren't finished yet, (just some detail work left) but here are some pictures to give you an idea.
