We had a good time in Idaho. I just got back today. Kristin, Jake and Tyler are still there with Grandma Isakson until the Sept 18. I had a nice birthday. We rented a plane and flew around the Palouse, very pretty. Jake is having a blast with his cousins Cody & Conner, and Tyler is getting lots of quality Grandma time.

A few more days and we head up to Idaho to see Grandma, Cody and Connor.

Good week. Still getting used to the lack of sleep and learning to get it whenever we can. Jake asked to go number two for the first time and went. We made a huge deal about it. We go up to Idaho in a couple weeks and we hope being around the older cousins will help him get it down.

Everybody is doing great. Ty is doing awesome. Eating and sleeping a lot and fussing very little. He got circumcised this week and didn’t cry at all during the procedure. Jake is doing great and adjusting very well to sharing Mommies and Daddies attention with someone else. I’ve been on leave this week so Jake and I have been doing some fun things. We went to Sea World on Thursday, the beach on Friday, Gymnastics on Saturday and of course our usual trips to the nearby park or to throw rocks in the lake by our house. Kristin is doing well too and is just about all healed up.

Ty and Jake are doing great. Unfortunately Grandma had to go back home. She was such a huge help and we really miss her. I’m on leave for a couple weeks to help while Kristin is healing up. She is doing great too.
