Reunited and it feel so good!

As many of you know, our precious little boy came about through the miracle of invitro fertilization. Today, we went to a reunion hosted by the fertility center for all the "babies" (many of them are definitely not babies anymore) they had assisted with. We were really surprised at how many people were there...and how many multiples there were, although we shouldn't have been given that they were products of fertility treatments. We saw lots of twins running around...they were adorable! We got to see Dr. Hansard, our doctor that did the embryo transfer that began our little boy's life. This was her first time to see him since our 7 week ultrasound to find out if we were having multiples.

Isaac got a balloon animal, which he was really excited about...mommy was a little scared when he started chewing on it...

He wasn't scare of popping it at all....which of course he did. This pic was taken about two minutes after we got the dog...notice the lack of tail already. Shortly after this, doggy's lower half was gone. :(

Isaac Walking!

About a month or so ago, Isaac started taking his first steps. Since then, he's walking like a wild man now. He is not content to stay still at ALL. As of last week, he pretty much only crawls to get to a place where he can pull himself up. (He still can't stand up on his own...but is close on that one.) As you can see from the video, he is VERY proud of his new accomplishment. This video is actually a week or so old...and his walking has gotten better still! We are so excited to see him taking off!

In other news....t-minus 5.5 school days left for Jessica! Let the countdown to the summer begin!

Mother's Day 2009 and Gracie's Birthday

This Mother's Day was a great one! We started on Saturday since we get up early for church on Sundays. Bill got up with Isaac so Mommy could sleep, which was AWESOME! Bill and Isaac made Mommy breakfast (sausage and eggs...her favorite!) YUM! They also surprised her with these flowers..so sweet! Sunday we went to church and heard an awesome message from our pastor's wife and some other ladies from the church. Sunday afternoon we headed to the Bockus house to help celebrate Gracie's 2nd birthday. So much fun...and wore the kids out....every mother's dream! :) Ended the day at Rudy's BBQ...once again, YUM!!! Such a great day and I feel so loved! :) Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

My Mom's Day flowers....roses are my FAVORITE!!

My two favorite guys wearing their pink shirts they got for their birthdays in April....Bill's lists the 5 reasons to wear pink, and Isaac's says "Tough Guys Wear Pink." So true! :)

Here are some pics from the party...

One Year Portraits

I took Isaac to get his one year portraits done a week before his birthday this year. I really liked the studio we went to! If you're in Austin, I highly recommend Picture Innovations! They were really patient with him, and got some great shots of our little guy. Here are some of our favorites, but click the link to the right to see all the shots from the photo shoot...

My big boy is 1!

Look what I found Mom!

Rub a dub dub! Isaac is in the tub!

Springy Thingys

So IBM had a spring festival last weekend and we decided that since we've got kids now, we might as well start doing the "family" stuff...so we went to check it out. It was alright...the pettig zoo and train were by fair the favorite portions. Here are some shots...
