update

Well, the Delk house has been full of sickness.

Abby is over her UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), but her bladder is still refluxing into her kidneys. She is currently on medication for that, and will go back for a check-up in 6 months.

Andy is currently on his 5th ear infection. He is also being treated for thrush, which he got because of all of his medications for ear infections. Woo-hoo. On the plus side, our pediatrition is now on board for ear tubes.

Isaac is doing great! He still has snot everywhere, but I figure that will go away once he is away from day care for the summer. He is loving all the baseball games with Daddy, and has to sleep with no less than two baseballs at night.

He is also adding to his verbal and nonverbal vocabulary. He adds the sign language that we have taught him to all the words that he knows. On Friday he informed me that he wanted pizza and ice cream for dinner, so that is what we had. He also adds, "What's up?" to his, "Hey!" when you talk to him.

Mommy and Daddy are doing well. Daddy is working hard at work, and Mommy is hardly working. (just kidding) I am, however, looking forward to the end of school. Only two more weeks with kids!!! Then I have a week of in-service- which is fine with me.

Atlanta Braves 4-4-09

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to share Isaac's first game of the 2009 season with you.

Isaac, Grandpa Joe, and I went to the last Spring Training Game of 2009 this past Saturday between the Detroit Tigers and the Atlanta Braves. Thanks to Stub Hub, we got really good seats (at least it was the closest I have ever been at Turner Field),

Isaac seemed to have a lot of fun. He did not want to leave the seats even when Grandpa Joe tried to take him to the play ground. It does seem odd for a 2 year old to want to stay and watch the game over a playground. I am not complaining though.



Above is a shot of us in our seats. Unfortunately the guy who took the picture had us a little off center. At least he was nice of enough to take the picture.



I think Isaac really enjoyed being this close to the action. (Daddy did too.)

We got to get close to take some really great shots of some of the players as well.



Above is Placido Polanco of the Detroit Tigers.



This is pitching prospect Tommy Hanson when he came into the game.



Carlos Guillen spent most of the game in front of us.

Here Isaac is ready to get into the lineup as a pinch hitter. I think he could have taken on the Detroit pitching.

Well all in all it was a fun time. Isaac will get one more shot at a big league game before we start in on the minor leagues this coming Friday when we are going to the Braves opener. Hopefully it will not rain. Thanks to Stub Hub again, we got even better seats. Right next to the Braves dugout! Maybe Bobby Cox can get some pointers from Isaac on when to pull his bullpen pitchers.

Party at daycare

We had a small party for Isaac on his birthday. We shared the day with Brayden who was celebrating his first birthday. ( Isaac was on Friday and Brayden on Sunday) Here are some cute pics of the kids enjoying their sugar-fest.



Here is Isaac enjoying his snack. He loved the chee-tos, but not his cupcake. (I don't understand it)

Here are Alli and Colin. They know how to enjoy cupcakes.

Andy is just fat and happy.

Abby doesn't know what is going on, but she likes the attention of the camera.

Here is Kennisha holding Andy. Kennisha teaches first grade.

Here is a happy Abby.

Some more "Artsy" Pictures

Hello everyone. I am still playing with the Black & White options on my camera. I hope you don't get tired of it. I promise there will be some color ones on here soon.

I thought I would add 4 more pictures. Especically since Andy finally got in on the action.

Here is one of Isaac doing a Calvin Klein ad. (You have to be close to my age to remember the underwear commercials.)

This is Isaac sitting in his froggy chair. He had decided it was better to wear no clothes after eating all his rice.

Finally Andy was awake and willing to give me a grin. It took some time but we finally got a shot of it. Sometimes he just doesn't want to grin and laugh.

This is Andy doing his best impression of Uncle JD. He is really singing it like he means it. "Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen...See the little baby...."

Later,

Joe

More fun with the camera

Hey guys...

Just wanted to post some more pictures of me playing with my camera. I think the following 3 pictures are great.

If you know anyone that might need some photos taken, send them to http://www.ballparkjoe.ifp3.com/.



Above is Pat and Abby at feeding time. I like how she is looking up at her grandmother in this one.



Abby is staring down one of her toys. She focuses very well don't ya think.



You can't beat that smile.

Hopefully Andy will be up sometime and I can get some of him as well.

Joe

Murfreesboro Christmas

That's right... Christmas. It's been a while and I apologize for the delay. My only excuse is that we have twins- it takes us a while.

We had to celebrate Christmas a little bit later since we had to be able to travel. We decided that Murfreesboro was the central location for everyone involved.

Isaac and the twins made out like bandits. It was really nice to have everyone in the same place!

Here are Aunt Sandy and Gommy holding the twins. I honestly don't know which one is which. (of the twins)

I am guessing here that Aunt Sandy is holding Andy... but who knows?

Joshua was such a great helper when it came to helping Isaac open his presents!

And I was worried about Abby being a bow head...

Here is Aunt Jenny with Abby. You can tell its Abby because she's wrapped in pink.

Mommy with Andy

Grammy Pat with Abby

Isaac and Joshua together for their traditional picture. They are going to get tired of this after a few years. One of these days Joshua is going to want to be on the left in the picture. :)

Joe loves this picture of Joshua. I think he was happy that Joshua wanted to pose and let Joe play with his camera.

Sorry this took so long!!

It has been awhile.......

Well it has been awhile since either Jocelyn, Isaac or myself have added anything to the blog. Sorry for the delay but we have been pretty busy. Feeding times, changing diapers and Jocelyn getting back to work has really drained us. Not mention I am trying to start a small business on the side.

Well here are some great pictures we have missed posting along the way.

Below is a pic of "Grammy" Pat when she came to help. She did not know she would be pulling double duty. I think this is a good picture.

Also, we got some good pictures of the cousins posing together. Here is one of Josh and Isaac while sitting in front of the fireplace at Grammy Pat's.

I thought this was a funny one of Joshua striking his sexy pose. He definitely is trying to bring sexy back.

Since our last posting, Isaac has gained some valuable skills while practicing with his "Baby Action Figure." Here he is showing off how to properly feed a baby.

The other pictures listed below are me trying to play with settings on my camera. I think they turned out OK.

The one above is Isaac watching the pre-game of the Super Bowl.

This is Andy getting ready to go to Small Group the day of the Super Bowl.

This is what Abby did during the Super Bowl. We will have to work on that.
