Memorial Park













Isaac has not been sleeping very well or consistently since returning from California. We're hoping it's a phase. Anyway, we were up entirely too early on Sunday morning so decided to go feed the ducks at Memorial Park. I thought it would be a good time to go first thing in the morning as the ducks should be hungry at this time of day. I was wrong. First, we got there before the park opened. And the ducks were still asleep and really not interested in food. We still had fun. We spotted a few turtles, snake and a family of baby ducklings--all of which Isaac loved. And our pugs loved going for a special outing.
We decided it was due time to get some flowers on our porch so found some Sunday afternoon. Isaac wanted red flowers which was good because that's what Donavan and I wanted too. He's holding his dear Pablo, the penquin in the photo. He is very attached to Pablo. Isaac has been taking good care of the african violet plant in his room and is really excited about watering the plants this summer.

Strawberry Pickin'




We've been to Washington Farms a couple of times in the next week to pick strawberries. The berries are delicious and it's been easy to quickly fill a couple of buckets. Isaac's favorite part of these trips are the animals. He loves looking at the bunnies, chicks and pig. He's convinced that we need a bunny. I've explained that Mommy is allergic, but he thinks the bunny should live outside. When we get a house we'll discuss it--that is not likely to happen anytime soon so I figure he will have forgotten about the bunny by the time we move into a house.

Playing soccer









We went to Will and Drew's (friends) soccer games over the weekend. Isaac loved playing with some of the boys in between games.
