Fun in Boulder

Last week, I visited Natalie, Ramin, and Isaiah at their home in Boulder, CO. It was so good to see my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew again! We spent a lot of time hiking, biking, and having some good conversations. I so appreciated this one-on-one time with my Boulder family, living life with them for a few days.

Here are some photo highlights from the trip:

Isaiah on his Strider Bike (one of his favorite past times now)


IJ and I playing "iPod" - a little dark of me but I love Isaiah's face here


Nat and I


On Friday night, Nat and I were putting Isaiah to bed. The day before he had had a "Christmas in June" day and watched The Polar Express. There is a part in the movie where a sort of irritating kid with glasses receives punches in his train ticket that spell out "L.E"; at this point, the kid retorts, "L-E? What the heck does that mean?" Later in the movie, we find that the letters are the beginning of the word "LEARN," the lesson for this kid in the movie. Isaiah must have latched on to this unfortunate part of the film because as Nat changed him on his changing table, he took the "tickets" (business cards that Ramin had punched like a real train ticket) and started repeating, "L-E? Whatda-eck dus that mean?" Nat and I were trying to discourage him from repeating this line but ended up cracking up which made him repeat it more. Check out the cuteness here...
