What makes a snow day the best snow day ever? Isaac Anthony.

As promised, we played a little Halo: Reach. See here:



We also built a sweet fort (a Mega Fort, to be technical). We managed to get internet inside the fort, as well as a laptop and a flashlight. It was pretty decked out. Here is a broadcast from inside the fort:

Do not bother to call, iChat, write, text, page, email or otherwise try to contact Isaac and I. With the New Hampshire Court System closed for the first time in 18 years, Mom forced to go to Holy Cross, and everything else in the world shut down, Isaac and I will be playing Halo: Reach until our eyes bleed or our cases of Halo Mountain Dew Game Fuel (which I am fairly certain has the same effect as speed, but longer lasting and more potent) run out, which ever comes first. Despite the general prohibitions on contact you can, however, reach us via Xbox Live with a chat request or an invite. You can send them to Child of Rawls (me) or NoobDecimator2010 (Isaac, who borrowed Dr. Gregory House's screen name). Be prepared, because Isaac is a wicked bad sniping spawn camper, with a strong preference for headshots.

There are so many things that Isaac does where we look at him and just laugh. He fumbles around with those wedge-shaped chubby hands of his bebonking himself in the head with a rattle or missing his mouth entirely with a puff. But when he coordinates things, when his little fingers and hands and arms all work well together, watch out--there is nothing cuter.

Here are two videos that prove my point.

The first is a video of him waving to his grandparents over iChat (they went bonkers, of course, as did we):



The second is of Isaac trying to make his voice skip (for lack of a better term) like we did in the earlier video ("Now that's what I call vibrato"):



Finally, here is a video of Isaac and his Nanny eating at Uncle John's (nothing about coordination here, but it is just too cute):



Enjoy. It may be a while before we can post again--we are expecting 20 inches of snow in the next two or three days. YIPEE!
