Reading with Grandpa and Marna

One more book before you leave, please!

Grandpa and Marna visit

Dad and Marna visited for the weekend.  They brought some early birthday presents for Isaac, so he was immediately thrilled!

Birthday Cake #1

Since they won't be back for Isaac's birthday party, we celebrated Isaac's birthday a little early.  Marna made a small cake, which was delicious!

Garfield Park Conservatory

At the park

Our neighbor, Beth, and her daughter, Avery, stopped by on a walk after work tonight.  Avery really wanted to go to the park, but Melissa couldn't walk that far.  So, Beth offered to take Avery and Isaac to the park for a little while.  Isaac had a great time playing with Avery. 

Tiger costume

Isaac wanted to wear his tiger costume (from Halloween) to school today.

Fun at Portillo's

While Melissa's mom was in town, we went to Portillo's for lunch. Isaac had a blast on the stools.

Melissa's Birthday

After Dave and Isaac made the cake, we all went to Mancini's in Oak Park for dinner.  Melissa has had a lot of pelvic pain from the pregnancy, so this was the only time we left the house all weekend.  Dave dropped Melissa off at the door, so she didn't have to walk far.  It was a great dinner, and we brought some gelato home.  Then, we had our birthday cake.  It was a great birthday, despite the lazy weekend. 

Making Mommy's Birthday Cake

Dave and Isaac made a birthday cake for Melissa's birthday.  Isaac loved putting LOTS of sprinkles on top.  It was a little crunchy (because of the sprinkles), but tasted great!

Crafts with Daddy

Reading with Mommy

Making Valentine's Day Cupcakes

Isaac loves to bake, so this was a great Sunday activity.  Mommy and Isaac mixed and baked them, Mommy iced them, and Daddy and Isaac decorated.  Isaac loved putting lots of sprinkles on them, but not as much as he loved eating them!  We delivered some to his friends, Sam and Frieda, and Avery and Brody. 

Blizzard 2011

Isaac's new room

Isaac moved into his new Spiderman room this weekend. He slept great in his big boy bed both nights. Naps, on the other hand, did not go well.

Fun at Henry's birthday party!

Our friends, Carrie and Craig, had a 2nd birthday party for their son, Henry, at My Gym in Chicago.  Isaac loved climbing and insisted that he do it all by himself!

Helping Daddy

Isaac helped Dave carry the boxspring for the guest bed to the basement!

Making biscuits with Daddy

Isaac loves baking!

Trying on a new hat!

We were out shopping and Isaac found this beverage hat to try on.

Playdate with our new neighbor, Tewa

Our neighbors, Doug and Pauline, just adopted a little girl, Tewa, from Ethiopia.  She and Pauline came over today to play with Isaac in our basement.  Tewa loved the trucks and blocks, while Isaac was extremely shy.
