NEW YORK

The flight to New York. Wow. I was a little nervous about this endeavor. I mean a myriad of things could go wrong, but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised at how awesome it went. We flew out of our good ole city at 11:30pm. I thought the flight was at midnight, so we got there just in time to board. We ended up sitting on Row1--There is nothing better than the front row. We had extra leg room, Isaak was amused by the flight attendants. We got an aisle seat and the lady that sat next to us was a cute Grandma from Florida. Isaak was quite amused by the headphones and liked to put them in and out of the little slot. My music kept going on and off and on and off until I finally gave it up. I thought that Isaak would be exhausted, but alas he managed to keep his little blue eyes open until about 2am. That's right--he fought sleep until 2am. Finally he just looked at me and said, "Mommy," and he was out. We made a little bed by our feet for him--yay for extra leg room. Cory got some sleep, but I don't sleep well on planes. We landed in NY about an hour early making our layover 5 hours instead of 4 hours and Isaak had only been asleep about 1.5 hours the entire night when we landed, so I thought he might stay asleep, but I was wrong. He ran around the airport and chased the birds. Yep--birds in the airport--a tiny bit weird, but I'm not complaining because it kept Isaak entertained for about 2 hours. We finally landed in Syracuse and were greeted by Gina and Kai. Isaak was pretty excited about having a play buddy. And it was awesome to see Gina. We love that Girl!

Gina had heard about a cool Halloween thing at a lake by her house, so of course we went. It was cold. Colder than I had anticipated. Isaak is wearing two coats, a sweatshirt and his regular clothes. This next picture comes as a bit of a surprise to me, but Isaak surprised me regularly on this trip. He did tons of things that he has never done before. The first being he fell asleep on Cory's shoulder while we were gazing at the pumpkins. You would think he was exhausted, but we still didn't get him to sleep until about midnight this night. Yikes. I was so tired that I fell asleep before him--we ended up having him sleeping with us, which we had never done before.

The pumpkins were pretty awesome. They had tons and tons of them and we saw so many different kinds. They were pretty amazing. So that was the first day of our trip. I know you are super excited to hear installments of what we did and how we did it.

the pics

Okay-so I'm feeling a little more confident today. I went to church and people saw me and nobody screamed. haha! I actually think that I like it-second day is usually always better, eh? It reminds me of a time on my mission when the same kind of thing happened. I said just un petit peu! (a little bit), but I came out with a whole new head of hair and I cried--you have to know that when you are on a mission everything seems worse than it really is and better than it really is-highs and lows=not so many inbetweens. So enough of this blabbing--I'm posting some pictures. So this is what I imagined I might have looked like yesterday when I looked in the mirror--thinking what have I done!!!! Me today thinking--hey I think I like it. I can actually smile about it today. Isaak in the cutest hat ever-sorry the lighting is kind of bad, but it was cloudy and darker than usual, but isn't he just the cutest ever? I love him in this outfit. I would have him wear it every day so I could l...

My Lovely Baby Bump

My Mom was nice enough to come down and take some awesome pictures of me and my lovely baby bump along with my two favorite guys ever. I love how they turned out! I think I'm about 34 weeks in the pics, but I haven't gotten more than a few centimeters larger--as of yet! I will post a few and then I might post some more as I get them more arranged, but I love them!!!! I know my bump isn't in all of them, but Isaak wasn't the most cooperative guy ever that night. He wanted to run around and play, but alas my Mom worked some magic and caught some great pics of him. so there you have them!

OW!!!!!

So yesterday we decided to go rollerblading. I know it’s a little out of style, but it is great fun. The first thing that I need to mention is that I have a great pair of rollerblades. They are speedy-I barely have to move. The second is that I’m not great at stopping. I can do it, but it’s hard to stop quickly. So the story-There is this trail by our house that is hilly and curvy. We start going uphill and we are going against the wind so it’s pretty hard. We were a huffin’ and puffin’ and sweatin‘--Cory more than me since he‘s actually pushing the stroller. I start to get a little nervous when Cory points out that we will be going downhill and the wind will push us. Hmmmm-I’m thinking to myself that means we’ll practically be flying. I tell myself it’s okay because I’ve gotten much better at stopping. I even reached the top of the trail before Cory and was telling my friend Tina that I had better get off the phone unless I wanted to end up getting plastic surgery from face planting. ...
