July 4th, etc.

We traveled to DFW over the Fourth of July to see family (who came from Michigan, Australia and Kenya, respectively) and to give Grandpa an extra strength dose of Isaac after his heart surgery.

Isaac was stuck like glue to his Uncles Nick and Tony and gave them his toys to hold for safekeeping, a sure sign that he thinks you're special.

He gave Uncle Tony a taste of what life is like with a little boy in preparation for the arrival of his baby boy (and Isaac's cousin #4) in a few weeks.

And playing piano together just like they did last Christmas.

Isaac has been so in love with animals lately, especially dogs. So he was so pleased to get to play with his godparents' docile doggie, Goliath (so would he be Isaac's godbrother?).

Aunt Yaya (Leah) was in town, as well, bringing with her a baby boy bump - Isaac's 5th cousin in less than 3 years!

We were Yaya's official advisers on baby gear and did lots of shopping for items that won't be readily available in Nairobi.

The 4th included swimming, bbq and Isaac's favorites: peaches and corn on the cob. Hearing him ask "peash, pease?" is the sweetest thing. He knew Yaya couldn't resist and would always share hers.

 All-American boy.

Thanks to all for such a fun visit!
