Pinedale Christmas

Last night we enjoyed the Pinedale Christmas parade.  We went over to our friends' Thea and Ty's house for a potluck and parade-watching.  Their house is right on Pine Street on a primo parade-watching corner.  It was a fun way to bring in the holidays!

All bundled up

 It finally feels like the Pinedale winter we have heard so much about.  Winter started out very mild, but Friday night we got several inches of snow and temperatures dropped.  During the parade, it was 3 degrees, and on our walk home later that evening, it was -4 degrees.  Hello winter!

  Isaac loved the parade.  He had this mesmerized look on his face the whole time.

My two favorite businesses in town--The Outdoor Shop and Brew Pub--made for a nice backdrop

  

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Evening Entertainment

It doesn't take much to entertain us these days.  Our little rug rat keeps us laughing all the time as he becomes more and more like a little human.  I realize that some of his antics are probably not all that entertaining to outsiders, but as his parents, we are quite enthralled.  We spend most evenings at home just delighting in watching Isaac do his thing.

Here are some recent videos of his goofiness.  When witnessing him in person, each episode gets funnier as his silly behavior  escalates.  Of course, by the time we pull out the camera, he tends to tone it down a bit.  Still fun, though.....

Funny story about the above video:  Isaac was repeatedly going over to his toy shelf, getting a toy, and then taking it to the box.  He had made at least 15 or so trips back and forth when Matt decided to help him out by moving the broom stick out of his path.  Isaac did not think that was helpful.  He immediately put the broom right back in place.  Apparently he liked the obstacle it presented on each trip.

New homeowners

Exciting day!  Today we closed on our first house.  It's kind of anticlimatic since we won't take possession until the end of the month.  We can't walk through our new home yet, but we can go out tonight to celebrate!

All dressed up for the big day

Isaac has just learned what it means to smile for the camera.  I fear we are going to see a lot of this goofy grin.

Aaaw, weekends...

    why bother getting dressed?

(Sorry for the jumpy beginning. Bear through it!)
