Isaac meets Oma & Opa

Isaac met his first family visitors this past week, with the arrival of Oma & Opa!

They arrived just before Isaac was about to go down for a nap, all snug in his swaddle.

Smitten!

In addition to ogling over Isaac, Brian and Dad completed quite a few big house projects.  Insulating the attic area and installing a new dishwasher (and removing the old one) are just a couple items Brian was so excited to check off the to-do list.

In the midst of the work around the house, we were able to venture out for some touristy things, including a trip to the Alaskan Brewing Co. tasting room.  We also visited the Jensen-Olson Arboretum and the DIPAC Salmon Hatchery.

We also played a few games of Quiddler.  Of course, Mom kicked our butts!

Isaac enjoyed being held in lots of loving arms throughout the week.  When Mom wasn't holding Isaac and helping rock him to sleep, she was in the kitchen cooking up a storm.  We enjoyed lots of good eating, in addition to the food our friends have continued to drop off for us every other day.  Mom also got to give Isaac his very first successful bottle, which opened the door for Brian and I to enjoy a great date night: dinner out and a soak in the hot tub!  Thanks Mom and Dad!

 Our cherry trees were also pretty packed, so some friends came to help pick them before the birds got them all.

 And, Mom and Dad packed along my brother's old B-O-B stroller and Kelty backpack for us to use with Isaac.  Isaac has already enjoyed a few fresh-air strolls in it; thank you, Ben & Becky!!!!
