I wish I were kidding. Gigi & Didu delayed a spring trip so it would be "warmer when they came"...they were greeted by a large April snow storm! Here are some pix of the action from the weekend.<br />

We had a good visit...We ate out a few times. Experienced theLIFT on Saturday night. Went swimming at the YMCA on Sunday and spent lots of time just hanging out playing at the house. Sadly, they missed our new couch by 1 week...their naps would have been much more comfortable!</div>

She flew in for a nice Thursday-Sunday visit, braving the cold wet MN winter (not spring here for awhile yet). The kids loved having her and already have a few things planned for her next visit: playing "store" and going to Wendy's.<br />
<br />
Some highlights:<br />
<br />
-Going to the ZOO on Friday. It was a beautiful day full of sunshine and "warmth"...well, 35 and sunny FEELS warm. sometimes. almost never. the animals were rather frisky or hungry as many were active and moving and put on a good show. other than a crowded eating experience, the place was not too full and we had a good time...<br />

-Saturday included lots of RAIN to make Rach feel at home. It also included a trip to the MALL...the kids got to show her their favorite store, the DISNEY store, which continues to wield its magical powers over their psyches. (and thanks for the new movies!)</div>

It is less than a mile from our house and in the cold MN winters, it has been brilliant for the kids to have a place to expend copious amounts of energy outside of our small house.<br />
<br />
We try to swim at least once a week. The Y has a great "zero entry kid pool" (depth up to 3 feet maybe?) and kids love it. Irene and Isaac have basically taught themselves to swim. We assumed that they would both enjoy a pair of goggles; HOWEVER, we had NO IDEA how great a present they would be!?<br />
<br />
The only word that comes to mind is "empowerment". They both have been growing in water comfort pretty steadily over time; however, it seems as if a paradigm has shifted as they both exude a newfound sense of power, control, confidence, and comfort in the water. It is mind-blowing really. They look and act like the most comfortable fish in the water. all because they can see. Shannon and I think there are several theological themes to write sermons on...<br />
<br />
MISC funny side notes:<br />
<br />
-the pendulum almost swung too far as the ability to see underwater also made them think they could breathe underwater too. one time quickly cured those thoughts.<br />
<br />
-they love diving for rings...goggles + rings = empowerment.<br />

<br />
-playing outside in near 60 degree temps<br />
-riding bikes, toys, jumping on the "pool trampoline"<br />
-7 kids, age 4 and under, all under 1 roof<br />
-everyone was relatively healthy!<br />
-traveling dinosaur exhibit<br />
-the very crowded magic house (bonus points for Gigi & Didu)<br />
-swimming in the hotel pool (which we didn't get pix of...check Didu for some!?)<br />
-Didu fixing our license plate ;-)<br />
-Meeting BABY TEDDY!<br />
-but we missed Racher...even if she would have been sick...<br />
<br />
Here are some pix:<br />

<br />
So, I have a new goal to blog at least once per week. Obviously, loads of stuff has happened since July...instead of pretending to catch up in some type of order, we will post randomly fun stuff in no particular order from the past few months. <br />
<br />
Tonight's effort will be a link to our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/iwaszkowiec">youtube channel</a>...uploading iphone videos straight to youtube is fun and easy. Check back periodically for new videos. Here are couple of recent fun ones below:<br />

Well, apparently blogging drops on the level of importance when moving across the country with 2 small kids. What better excuse to get pulled out of the blogging doldrums than a birthday!? We spent a week in St. Louis with the Iwasz family (minus Rachel = sad)...We had a great time swimming and hanging out. Will get an album up soon, but want to share some pix...for any sisters who might live in Seattle and weren't able to attend.<br />

<a href="http://soundcloud.com/dashboard">soundcloud</a> is a pretty amazing application that allows one to record things on one's phone, then upload and share via the internet...good times (and I'm glad these things were not around during my high school and college days).<br />
<br />
anyway, here are some fun things that we have recorded:<br />

We feel slightly out of whack. Our families have been very supportive and helpful through the process, and we are thankful...and now for an update:<br /><br />We had our friend, Jennie Sewell (a regular contributor to the blog, via photos!), take some <a href="http://www.sewellphotography.com/isaac/">"1-year photos"</a> of Isaac (and 2.5 years of Irene):<br /><br />-He was sick this day. <br /><br />-Jeremy and Shannon did NOT plan on being in these pictures.<br /> <br />-and Jennie's son makes an appearance at the end! hope you enjoy the pix!<br /><br />We moved from Murray, KY to Minnesota:<br /><br />-The kids have done well with the transition. Saying goodbye to Murray was a little sad. We had made some fun friends in our short time there, and Irene had to say goodbye to her "first real friends". <br /><br />-Isaac LOVES to sled. Irene LOVES to build snow men (and make snow angels). Irene warmed up to sledding after a while...and a little peer pressure (friendly) from the neighbor girls helped! Irene also LOVES hot cocoa after snow time. <br /><br />We have our first broken bone! Isaac has a small fracture in his wrist. He simply fell while running around. He has to wear the cast for 2 weeks. Things could be worse. <br /><br />The new album is from January and February. Hope you enjoy <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/iwaszkowiec/JanFeb11?authkey=Gv1sRgCIf12cyigKu5Ng&feat=directlink">the pix.</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju6joNbnL9NoGV-_GA1jlSX39NpIAf42iqclkQGz2UhAGlHO_KbQyhJ814PdDs9xTsv8t4GLzVvxPTqlwLD_GrHQ9-mc9JRVWyA7zGUscq5GPdz0ma7gO4yRbKJxBvHxsSLJW6Fc-LiMo/s1600/isaac+cast.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju6joNbnL9NoGV-_GA1jlSX39NpIAf42iqclkQGz2UhAGlHO_KbQyhJ814PdDs9xTsv8t4GLzVvxPTqlwLD_GrHQ9-mc9JRVWyA7zGUscq5GPdz0ma7gO4yRbKJxBvHxsSLJW6Fc-LiMo/s320/isaac+cast.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581550023447611186" /></a>jarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16540055197836360408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3788295522398883921.post-76208829060533785482011-01-21T07:23:00.005-06:002011-01-21T08:45:42.561-06:00Isaac = 1Isaac turned 1 in December.

(She is a big fan of "Fancy Nancy")</div><div><br /></div><div>Not only does she speak French, she occasionally has a southern accent when saying certain words: "sad", "around", "dad", "well", "mad", "mommy", "help"</div><div><br /></div><div>Irene is 2 years, 3 months in this photo.

After he wakes up in the morning he will sit quietly and read books for about 5-10 minutes...then he NEVER stops moving, yelling, talking, climbing, jumping, banging, opening, closing, crawling, drooling, smiling, or crying until he goes to bed. He makes us smile a lot and is a joy to be around (except in the middle of the night, which he still has trouble sleeping through). We had a friend take some 9-month photos for us...here is a teaser and we will post some more from the session soon.</div><div><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9lfrB5M8UIWIktnsuEQGhlC4JiJjJ0zZIKFsJRtFigE8cGcCnQD-UFRQ8ODgBtsiVPNubbB-2vK_J1jjMfV1dAean11kyF8mzimA1inb_z3kSoklBc4hhdTkfGJdo4Aa-bFjw-pXPrLI/s1600/isaac.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9lfrB5M8UIWIktnsuEQGhlC4JiJjJ0zZIKFsJRtFigE8cGcCnQD-UFRQ8ODgBtsiVPNubbB-2vK_J1jjMfV1dAean11kyF8mzimA1inb_z3kSoklBc4hhdTkfGJdo4Aa-bFjw-pXPrLI/s320/isaac.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541097047499094194" /></a><br /></div><div>Be sure to check out the <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/iwaszkowiec/October201002?authkey=Gv1sRgCNXH6YaT2NOtwQE&feat=directlink">new album</a> of October pix.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>jarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16540055197836360408noreply@blogger.com2
