Hunter's 2nd Birthday
I just added pictures from Hunter's second birthday to the family section of our web site.
Jenelle and I both had a lot of fun at the party. A lot of people from Eric's AND Gina's side of the family were in attendance. Isaacsons, look out, because there's finally a family that can rival us in terms of the amount of partying that we do. :)
After most of the people had left, Eric and Todd put Hunter's new big wheel together. Shortly after the final bolts were in place, we went outside for Hunter to try it out. He appeared to enjoy it, but he didn't want to use the pedals. He planted his feet firmly on the ground and propelled himself forward. This works okay, but we all know he could go much faster with the pedals. So, I endeavored to teach Hunter how to use them. After putting each of his feet on the exact center of each pedal, I moved his legs in the circular motion to get the big wheel moving. I figured that he would get it after I did this for him a few times, but he still wanted to do it his way. Jenelle and others laughed with delight as I grew somewhat frustrated in my attempts. However, the laughter multiplied by a factor of ten when Todd got a tricycle out of the garage. This tricycle was just a bit too big for Hunter, and (obviously) a bit too small for Todd. The picture tells all. :)
Anyway, we didn't get Hunter to use the pedals on his own, so I resolved to making sure he didn't roll out into the street. I was successful in that effort. I was glad to help Eric and Gina do some of the Hunter-watching so they could relax. Shortly after Jenelle and I left the party, she complimented my skills and said that I'd make a good father. Awwww. Those of you eager for Jenelle and me to have kids -- remember that patience is part of the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22).
