Thanks for the remarks on parenting. After a few days of much thought over what many of you had said, i came to the conclusion, "so he's not perfect, no big deal." I thought about the type of mother i want to be, and the type of relationship i want to have with isaac and distance is not what i want. Yesturday I tried listening to him more, and played with him more to let him know that his needs were important to me, and though he had his moments, he felt like a totally different toddler! (we'll see how today goes). I realized why i was so frustrated with him...i felt a pressure for him to be perfect. Because i wanted isaac to be such a well behaved boy, i was treating him like a machine that i could manipulate and not like a little boy who was still trying to discover his world. Thanks again for all the comments!

Oh my gosh Ellie, those pictures are so cute! Ya gotta love all the messes we have to clean up after our little ones.. One day we will probably look back and actually miss them a bit...
Isaac is so cute. You gotta love boys. How have you guys been? It has been awhile since the good ol days in Rancho Cucamonga. Where in Utah are you guys living? Let us know if you ever want to visit San Diego:)
He is the most adorable little boy EVER! I love that smiley face of his. Also, don't worry, we are so on with Thanksgiving. Elisa may have had surgery because of our unhealthy eating habits, but that will never stop us from partying it up for Thanksgiving! Bring it!
