Okay, this isn't about basketball (sorry). And it isn't really "madness" unless you count my frequent moments of insanity. But it's kind of a hodgepodge of what life has looked like the past couple of weeks.
Noah seems to have three usual looks. Above is his content, yet solemn face. Below is his "I'm gonna cry pretty soon" look. See, Carina? Our boys have something they do well in common already!
The third--my favorite--is an abundance of smiles he gives quite freely except when there's a scary-looking camera around. You have to be sneaky if you want to catch it on film.
Ignore my look here.
Isaac still loves Noah. He's an awesome big brother, and getting better.
Of course, he also likes to do most everything the baby does. "This is my rattle." "I need to be on that blanket." Etc!
Another hand-me-down from Mom. So cute, but too scratchy on the inside for a baby, I decided.
This is kind of a funny picture, but take a look at those eyes!
This is right before we ran the Rex Lee race. Isaac was excited. This time he didn't scream the whole way (I think he thought he was going to actually run last year, so we made it quite clear this year).
All settled in his stroller. Noah's in the back, lying down. I love Phil & Ted's!
Jared's cousin, Russell was the only person we knew this year.
No, Isaac isn't checking out the contents of his nose; he's showing us the sign for "L." We have discovered that he recognizes the signs for letters better than if he sees them printed. He still knows most of his letters, but it's just way better in sign language for some reason.
On my birthday we went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. The baby animals are appearing and it's really fun for kids to see.

We had a great time.
So, even though it's not basketball, it's still fun and there is hope for spring (that's the bottom line). Yesss!
This was how Isaac got his nap. It was all over when I tried to move him to the couch so he'd be more comfortable. D'oh!
