Olivia in the Swing & Duck, Duck....TURTLE!!

Here are two videos of Olivia in her swing. The second one is a prime example of what happens when I do not get enough sleep...

Isaac and Olivia play in the Gym

Here a few pictures of Isaac and Olivia playing in the Einstein Gym this morning. There is also a picture of Miriam which Isaac took.

Isaac Plays his first Video Game

Isaac has been able to watch us on the computer and move the mouse around but this was really the first time we actually some him definitely interacting with the computer by pointing and clicking when the computer asked him to. Check out the video

Olivia is 4 Months old!

Olivia turned 4 months old about a week ago. Here are some pictures of her in her bassinet celebrating her first 4 months.

I imagine by the time her 5th month photos roll around she will have out grown the bassinet!!

David's Birthday

Miriam made a great dinner..pigs in a blanket(Diabetic style)..... Pork wrapped in bacon!!!!

Then she picked up some chocolate cake from Little Tree, which is my favorites sushi restaurant and also the restaurant that serves my favorite dessert.

As you can see, Isaac and I shared the cake. After that we both had a quite a sugar high so we played some football. You can see pictures and vidoes of that as well as Isaac playing with my Birthday cards if you click here.

St. Louis 2007

We all went to St. Louis last weekend to visit Stacey and Josh. Hillary, Rick, Billy and Jessica met us out there. We had a great time, although it was short. I did not even get a chance to take any pitcures myself. Luckily Hillary, Jessica and Stacey did!

Here are some links to their photo albums:

The Fifth Beatle???

Isaac sings his favorite Beatles' Song....."Yellow Submarine". Check out the video....

Isaac Drives the tractors at Home Depot

For those of you who do not know, we have been attempting to put a new door in the family room. The project has been going on for over a week(I knew better than to try this myself - it has already taken the contractor over 40hrs...), and every day Isaac asks " is the door project finished yet?". Needless to say, we have run into a few problems...I will not bore you will all of the details, but we realized after everything was installed the "screen" door did not come with a screen...only the storm windows. So, we had to go back and get the screen...anyway while this was all happening Isaac wanted to ride the tractors at Home Depot. So here are some pictures.

Isaac Visits some friends

Isaac went over to Miriam's friend Amy's house the other day and played with her two sons; Michael and Nicholas. Seems like they had fun.

Isaac's First Day at PreSchool

Isaac started going to his new school on Wednesday (9/5/7). He is now going to the Somerset Academy on Monday and Wednesday mornings. So far, he seems to really like it. It is much bigger than his last school and there are a few more things for him to do there. Above are a few pictures of his first day.

Detroit Zoo

We all went to the Detroit Zoo yesterday (Labor Day)....we spent most of the morning in the playground. Then while Olivia was eating, Isaac and I went into the Frog House. He really liked the cave. And, of course, we went for a train ride too!

Here are some pictures.

Isaac Draws!!!

Isaac has really started to understand that he can draw objects this week. The other day he said "Look Dad. I drew a volleyball net!!" and he did!! I did not even know he knew what Volleyball was....

Today he drew his first smiley face. Miriam says that this is a big step developmentally so we took a few pictures...

Here he is adding hair....

Olivia in her car seat

Look!! Olvia is taking after her Aunt Stacey.

Here are a few more pictures of Olivia laughing in her car seat.

Swimming at Lita's

While we were all getting ready to head over to Lita's to go swimming in her pool, I took a few quick pictures of Isaac and Olivia.

After we got out of the pool Isaac was cold so he put on Miriam's jacket and Lita's hat...he looked like a cross between E.T. in the famous scene were the girl dresses him up and when Kramer dresses up like a pimp on Seinfeld......

Check out the rest of the pictures.

At the Y...M....C...A!!"

Last Saturday the whole family went to the Rochester YMCA. I spent a few minutes on the treadmill and then I took Isaac into the pool. You can't see too much of the pool in the picture above, but there is a section for the kids with fountains and sprinklers as well as a slide(as you can see...). Isaac really liked it. We will probably sign him up for his next set of swim lessons at this location...

Olivia's First Uof M Tailgate (Isaac's 2nd)

We all headed to Ann Arbor this morning to tailgate for the U of M Football game. Isaac had a great time playing football with his parents, his friends, his parent's friends or his friends' parents (depending on how you look at it, I suppose). Here are a few pictures.


When we got home Olivia was awful active due to the fact that she slept and ate through most of the tailgate(which is what I used to do....). Here are a few pictures and a video of her and a video of Isaac playing in the tub.
