Isaac Stephen Blass Arrives



Isaac Stephen Blass

We made it to Colorado with two days to spare!  So we parked “the 5th” in Sara and Drew’s driveway and got ready for extended grandparent duty.  Our 2nd grandson, Isaac Stephen Blass, arrived on April 22nd.

Like his big brother, Jonah, he was born with tons of dark brown hair (he could actually have used a haircut on the day he was born!).

Getting to know his little brother
Already a good big brother

We spent our days playing with Jonah while being ga-ga grandparents to Isaac.

Pat LOVES being Grampa

And, hopefully, providing support and relief for Sara and Drew as they learned all about being parents of two under the age of two.   

Always the charmer

I'm tired of all these pictures already!

Drew had a couple of business trips; so we helped Sara out while he was gone and I managed to sneak away to Oregon for a long weekend to surprise my Mom for Mother’s Day and catchup with as many friends as possible.

Oregon-still the most beautiful state I've seen
Spectacular

Shortly after I returned, Pat and I took a quick driving trip back to Tempe to attend to some things there and pick up more summer clothes (we had originally planned to spend the month of June at home in Tempe)

Denver to Tempe:

Northern Colorado Rockies

Colorado River Canyon in northeast Arizona

Tempe to Denver:

Salt River Canyon northeast of Phoenix

Southern Rockies in southwest Colorado

Black Canyon of the Gunnison
 Instead, Sara returned to work after six weeks so Pat and I provided day care for the two boys for the month of June.
