Well, I'm not sure what happened to the month of April, but apparently it happened, because I have a few pictures to prove it! Thank the Lord for cameras...I have no idea what the history is behind cameras, but I am sure glad somebody invented them. Can you imagine not being able to capture moments and look back at them? I can't. It always made me really joyful and really sad at the very same time in Belize when we would take pictures and the people there would get SO excited and would RUN to the camera immediately after the photo was taken to see it. Most of them did not own cameras, and many did not have one single picture of themselves. I cannot imagine being a mom and not having any pictures to remember my children as they grew. So, so sad. They are something we take for granted here, that is for sure. I will never forget a mother and her three children in a tiny Mayan village in Belize. I asked her if I could take a picture of her with her kids (because I thought her boys were two of the most adorable children I'd ever seen), and she said "sure, but give me 30 mintues." I had no idea what she was doing...I figured she was going to finish feeding them or something. When she came to find me, she had changed all of their clothes and had attempted to straighten the boy's flyaways, evidenced by occasional wet spots throughout their heads. :-) They had never had a picture taken together before, and she wanted it to be special. I sent her the photo when I got home. I have no idea if she ever received it, but I sure hope she did. Maybe someday I can go back and see. Aren't they cute?
Alright...onto the real reason you look at this blog - another cute boy...
He was so excited to go with Grandma and Grandpa to the Great-Grandparent's! His bags are packed behind him. They all had a great time, and Brian and I got a lot done around the house, which was nice.
Beautiful apple blossoms in our backyard. (Remember, the title does say "Random") :-)
Picnic in the park...good 'ol KFC...real healthy, I know. But for a picnic planned on the spur of the moment, it's very convenient and I have to admit, tasty. Isaac enjoyed a few potato wedges.
Beautiful tulips in our front yard.
Isaac, please be careful with the flowers. Be gentle.
Like this, mom?
Mmmm...this rock tastes good!
Sandy drool...I'm afraid we'll be seeing a lot of this look this summer...
because he LOVES the sandbox.
Isn't this the cutest little tush you've ever seen? :-)
A daily ritual, though usually on the kitchen floor...emptying Daddy's lunchbox.
Rubber ducky, you're the one...he LOVES bathtime, which is a good thing...sunscreen, sand, sweat, drool, dirt, & learning to eat with a spoon and fork makes for a daily bath these days.
Hope you all had a wonderful April, and may May be wonderful, too!
