A flight over Burlington

For our church's youth silent auction fundraiser, we bought a one-hour flight over Burlington in a 4-seater plane - as kind of a goodbye to our first true home as a young family! Isaac loved the airplanes - from the ground, at least. Once our pilot started the engines, he was a little scared by the noise!

Isaac was just short enough to walk under the wing! (This is our pilot, on the right.)


Getting Isaac's earplugs - he was none too happy about wearing them!

Getting ready to fly!

After Isaac's initial panic, he settled in on Dad's chest and actually fell asleep!

It's hard to see it, but this is a view of our house!
(It's at the bottom right of the big open field in the middle of the picture, which used to be a little forest behind our house before they chopped down all the trees.)



Is that the plane we just went on, Dad?


Isaac loves planes!


Flying a plane is thirsty work!

Our soon-to-be new home - Shelby, NC

On May 10, we went to Sandy Plains Baptist Church in Shelby, NC, where Garin preached and the church voted for him to become their pastor. SO, we are moving to Shelby in early July.

Meet and greet after the service.




The new pastor, his wife, and their son!

Trip to Grammie's in TX, Memorial Day weekend

Playing basketball (with a soccer ball) in front of Grammie's house

He may have just skinned his knee - see how he's rubbing it!


We went to a strawberry farm right across the street from Grammie's house on Saturday, but it was REALLY crowded (the local TV station had done a story about it on Thursday). So we just sat and watched all the people picking strawberries, while Isaac climbed in and out of his stroller.

Isaac "cleaning" Grammie's dining room with MamMaw Parish and Aunt Jessica looking on.

A video from Grammie's house




Isaac singing "We Will Rock You" with the little football bear right behind him (on the couch). He thought it was very hilarious!

Some pics from Easter weekend with Grandpa, Grandma and MamMaw Mac



Easter pic with Grandma, MamMaw Mac, and Grandpa

Tickle-time with Grandpa

Laughter is the greatest medicine!

Watching a new "Backyardigans" video (Grammie's Easter present for him)

Hey, MamMaw Mac - can I just borrow this cane? I'll trade you 2 baseballs...

Playing b-ball

He shoots...he scores!

Do you get extra points if you go through the net, too?

Easter outfit

dressed by The Children's Place

Isaac's "GQ" pose


The epitome of spring in the South - azaleas, bright green sweater-vest, and a linen sportcoat. All he needs is a straw hat and a cane and the look would be complete!

Easter Party at Isaac's School

Isaac had an Easter party at school today, and it was so funny to watch 8 nearly-2-year-olds running around picking up Easter eggs with one hand and dropping them out of their baskets with the other. He seemed to have fun, though, and it was a beautiful day outside, and that's really all that matters, right?!

Party time

Dig in!

Yum - blue cupcake icing!

Isaac was trying to "cheat" - spying on the teacher hiding the eggs outside...

...but he got caught!

(these next 3 are videos)


It took a little practice to get into the Easter Egg hunt
.







"What did you get in your basket?"

Triumphantly walking away with the spoils of his quest.

MLB Opening Day!


Sunday was Opening Day for Major League Baseball - the Braves played the Phillies, so, of course, it was a great excuse for a party!


Our little movie star

Learning Lacrosse from Ty

Keep up, buddy!


Isaac wasn't as impressed with the baseball game (he's carrying his Backyardigans DVD around to all the adults, seeking out someone to help him watch it!)


Isaac, our big helper...

This weekend Dad worked on our wheelbarrow, and Isaac was a great "helper!"

Isaac and Cam

Here are some pics of Isaac and his friend Cam (or, as Isaac calls him, "Camma").




Good thing it was such a pretty day - playing outside takes a lot of time (and energy)!
