I know it seems as if I have disappeared

It may look like he is placing an Easter egg in his basket, but don't let him fool you. He's actually taking one out. He thinks that they are little balls instead of eggs, so he just wanted to toss them.
Isaak in action===picking up an Easter Egg. He threw this one in the water that you can see in the upper part of the picture.

Where to even begin? This last week kind was kind of the stinkies. Okay it was absolutely stinky. Phew. I wonder do I even want to blog about it? Maybe I don't. But I can tell you that Isaak got sick again. So his earaches came back and we had some awesome screaming adventures in the car. I don't know if you have ever had an inner earache, but any time the pressure changes it really hurts. Cory had an inner earache when we were in Hawaii almost a couple of years ago and even if we drove over a small bump he cried out in pain, so I imagine that poor little Isaak is miserable. We've tried Chiropractors, homeopathic ideas, and still he has earaches. We have come to our last resort. THE TUBES!!! I've been trying to avoid them. I've been running from them, but at this point they seem inevitable. We went to an ENT and he said that Isaak could barely hear. He said for him it was like wearing foam ear plugs all the time, which is why he isn't talking much. So he needs to get tubes so he can hear me telling him no better. I feel like I tell him no at least two times every five minutes. Either he's trying to put something in the toilet, in his mouth or in an outlet. He has recently discovered that he has a nostril. He likes to stick his finger in that there hole. He has also learned how to take off his diaper===which also leads to me saying No Isaak no no no!

On Saturday I decided that I wanted to lock my wallet in my glove box....well my glove box didn't want to lock so instead I twisted my key into two lovely little spiral pieces. We were about 45 minutes from home. We had to figure out a way to get into our house and get a spare. We did it, but it sure was a pain. Maybe if I didn't have such superhero strength that key wouldn't have broken. I have been working out. In any case this last week was stinky. I'm not even going to go into all the details. I'm sick now too. I caught Isaak's cold and either I sound like a squeaky toy or a man. My voice is all crazy. I was going to post of video, but I've tried twice and it's just not downloading maybe some other time. I'm sad it won't work because it was one of those moments that just make the sun seem brighter.

Hopefully things are better now! My older sister had tubes when she was a baby and she survived!! I hope it helps the problem.

July 29 Ward Lake & the Library Ketchikan

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He's really snoring. It's been down pouring since we got here last night and it poured all day long. We got up and headed out to Ward Lake to a BBQ with their church.  It's beautiful. The kids thought it was the best ever because they had donuts, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, cherries and cookies. Isaak of course immediately started playing with some kids his age. Chloe and Lydia frolicked around in the woods and played horseshoes. It stopped raining for maybe 10 minutes, but other than that it picked right back up. I was sure they were going to cancel the BBQ, but again the kids seemed indifferent to all the rain. Some of them were even kayaking. I was too busy freezing! The hike around the lake is 1.5 miles and we saw a beaver den sans beaver. We walked around the Lake and it was like being submerged in the rain forest. Well it's not like being submerged in a rain forest. We were in a rain forest called the Tong...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

The Farthest North Point & Settlers Cove

The rain continues to come down. I've never seen it rain like this before. Teana and Derek told us that the rain is more consistent with weather in October than in the summer, but weather.com promises that a warm front is in store for tomorrow. We went to church in an amazing building. The ward house was completely built in Cedar. Apparently the church shipped a cedar kit and the members of the church in the area worked with general contractors to put it together. It's beautiful and it smells so good!!! Chloe didn't want to go to primary by herself. At first I was trying tough love, but she started weeping. Okay. So she was actually trully scared. I sat with her in primary and then someone in the sharing time chose to sing Gethsemane. Chloe immediately relaxed. I was again aware of how much Heavenly Father cares for his children. Gethsemane is Chloe's favorite song and she always sings it when she's sad or asks us to sing it for her. She then said it was okay if I...
