Guitar Playing

Isaak's Busted

• Here's Isaak's face that he banged into a chair the other day. 
• He actually looks better now then he did after it happened. 
• His poor little tongue was bloody two days ago. We caught him messing with his ouchy. His check is all bit up too. 

Isaak Teaching Great Grandma Kent How to Play

• The boy's love all their grandparents! We're so lucky that they have both sets of grandparents and one set of great grandparents! Not everyone has that.
• Here Isaak is teaching Great Grandma Kent how to play with this toy. 
• Great Grandma Kent has Alzheimer's disease and has forgotten how to do a lot of things. 
• Isaak takes pride in teaching her how play all over again.
• She wanted to play, and could not figure out how to pop the Mickey Mouse characters up. When they did pop up it startled her. She kept trying to play anyhow. We just reassured her that it was ok.
• I do love how the boy's like to include her. They run up and hug her. They play ball with Great Grandpa too.
• Mica called Alzheimer's disease, "Elder's disease".

Work Christmas Parties

• We went to Daddy's work Christmas party on Saturday night. I brought a huge plate of cookies/goodies and Daddy made a wonderful bruschetta appetizer.
• Daddy's appetizer went within the first thirty min. We were the first ones that showed up, so people didn't start eating for awhile. 
• My huge plate of cookies/goodies was gone before the end of the night. 
• Mica had fun playing with the kids, while Isaak stuck to our side.
• Later on we found out that one boy was too rough with two of the kids {Mica being one of them}. 
• This is the first year we didn't watch Mica, and just let him roam and play. He's a pretty good kid. 
• Just like with driving, you can't trust the other cars on the road. 
• Mica and the kid his age didn't get hurt. They were just soar from being wrestled with. The wrestler was twice their size and old enough to know better.

• My work party was today. They just have the employee's get together. It was during lunch at a restaurant called Grisanti's. I have 1/2 my food left.  It's really good Italian food! I filled up on salad and appetizers.
• We always have a gag gift exchange. I ended up with a set of glass snowmen ornaments. I gave a wolf paint by number. I figured for an art school, a paint by number was a perfect gag gift.

Isaak Busted Himself Up!

• Isaak was jumping around, per usual. He jumped up, and as he was in the process of going down he slammed his chin on our high standing red chair!
• He has a busted chin and bit his tongue in the process. It looked like it hurt. 
• A lot of people around here are falling on the ice outside. Not us so far. We just have one banging his chin on a chair inside the house.
