Cousins

Last week Isaac got to visit his cousins Trey and Kaya. They are the kids of my cousins Cindy & Pam, so I'm not sure what sort of cousins that makes our kids?? (2nd, 3rd) Anyway, they were all born within 3 months so it's fun to watch them grow up and play together!

Happy 2nd Birthday Isaac!

Happy Birthday to you Isaac! Today you are two years old and I can't believe how fast the past two years have gone by! You have grown from a little baby (ok, maybe not so little) into a little boy. Every day we learn something new together and I can honestly say that the past two years since you joined our family have been the most rewarding and sometimes the hardest two years of my life - I wouldn't take them back for anything! I can't wait to see what changes the next year brings for you and I'm just so grateful that I get to be your "Ma". Happy birthday little guy!

(Oh, and for those who were wondering, yes, I did make the cake, and yes, it did take forever!:-)

Happy Birthday to Me!

Here is a pic of the lovely flowers that my friend Christine sent me today. What a thoughtful gal! All in all it was a great day. (other than that 2 hour conference call for work.....) Tonight we went out for mexican food and Isaac was an angel (it's sort of hit or miss right now on whether he will behave at the restaurant). Not bad for my 29th birthday! Ha! (ok, if you know that I was born on 7-7-77, you can do the math......)

Happy (belated) 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Hope your holiday was relaxing! We tried to have Isaac pose for a "patriotic" photo, but as you can see, he wasn't too excited about it. He was excited, however, when we took him to WaterWorld yesterday afternoon. It's a water park not to far from our house. They have some really great areas for little ones where they can go down toddler-sized slides and such. We were there for about 3 hours and had a great time. What a treat to have a holiday on a Friday and still the rest of the weekend to relax!
