Roller Coaster with a Jump

Isaac and I were playing with the race track(aka: Roller Coaster) last night after work and he wanted to make the cars jump.

He then said let's video tape it. It is long(about 6 mins, the original was around 15) but stay tuned for Isaac's directorial debut at the end. This is the first time he has used the video camera. Pay special attention to his direction and how he prompts me to explain what I am doing and say "Goodbye" just like we do when filming him.

So here is an edited version of the footage.

Easter Sunday

This morning we headed out to brunch, since we were having dinner at Lita's at 4PM. The only place open was Coney Island so we headed their.

While we were getting dressed Isaac saw me put on my sweater and insisted on wearing a sweater too, specifically his light blue sweater vest, which happened to be very appropriate for Easter. Then he wanted to put on a show before we left....see the video. At brunch, Isaac had blueberry pancakes and shared them with his sister, who really seemed to like them.

After lunch we all went home to take a nap. Then we headed to Lita's where there were all sorts of special activities for the kids; we decorated eggs, played with play-dough, had a few Easter egg hunts, a bunny puppet show, and opened some Easter gifts.

See some more pictures and a video here.

Olivia Learning to Crawl

Today Miriam stepped away from the kids for a few minutes while they were in the family room. Shortly thereafter, Isaac called "Mommy....Olivia is eating dirt!" When Miriam came in to see what Isaac meant she found that Olivia had mysteriously relocated herself in front of the plant and was shovelling dirt and twigs into her mouth....

Later, when I came home I was playing with Olivia in the family room trying to figure out how she had gotten over to the plant and we realized she was crawling!...somewhat....check out the video. Plus there are a few pics of the aftermath of the plant fiasco too.

Dad and the kids go to Toy's R Us

Miriam went to the spa with her friend Anita on Saturday and I took the kids to Toy's R Us and then to lunch. We had a great time! Isaac and Olivia played together at the train table, Isaac showed Olivia the Jack-in-the-box and then they want cruisin in their Pink Cadillac.

Later, Isaac (and I, but mostly Isaac, well sort of) picked out a really cool Hot Wheels set with two loop-de-loops!!

When the kids where taking a nap I set it up in the basement to surprise Isaac when he woke up.
You can see some pictures and videos here...

Finger Painting

Isaac was finger painting today on the kitchen table and Miriam got some video of this....Olivia decided to do some of her own finger painting too.

Lunch & Nordstrom's

Last weekend the four of us went to lunch and then did a little shopping. Olivia and I found a mirror to play with in Nordstrom's. Then when Isaac and Miriam found us on the floor, Isaac wanted to join in too and Miriam tooksome pictures.

Roller Coaster

Isaac and I built a roller coaster last night using his "BillyBlocks" (Legos uncle Billy gave him) and his hot wheels race track. Here is a video of him dancing a bit and then playing with the roller coaster.

Playing in the Band

Isaac and Olivia had their first jam session today. As you can see above, Isaac was really getting into it. Then Olivia picked up the tambourine......

Check out a few more pictures and a video.

Olivia Playing and Eating Asparagus

This afternoon Miriam and I were hanging out in the family room watching Olivia play with the musical instruments while Isaac was napping. Then he woke up....and it was just Olivia and me.

Then at dinner Olivia was eating Asparagus and Avocado. (each day we feed her 2 things that start with a different letter of the alphabet...tomorrow will be boysenberries and baloney)

Here are some more pictures and a video.

Olivia and Dad Playing

Here are a few pictures of Olivia and Dad playing with butter at lunch and in the house.
