Happy Twelfth Birthday Isaac!

Somebody turned 12 today!


Isaac J...what a gift you are. 💖 You have grown so much this last year (quite literally in the last 6 months!) and I am constantly amazed at your compassion and sense of humor and wicked observation skills, your desire to be just like your peers...and probably smoke'm on the basketball court and soccer fields!  You love Jesus only slightly more than you love to annoy your sister, but you are also the first to defend and console her if she is in distress (to the poor flu shot nurse who nearly received the Rath of Isaac for making his sister cry...sorry/not sorry about that).  You find yourself in situations that I can't even begin to describe, although I try desperately to relay to my text friends to hysterical responses. And have handled some really big battles at school this year with every ounce of grace that a nearly 12 year can muster.    I love your hugs and creativity and adventures and questions.  

The communication gap is growing between those of us in your inner circle and those who infrequent your world.  I teeter between feeling sad & frustrated for those who cannot see the beautiful way you interact with the world and secretly blessed that I am one of the chosen few that get to fully understand & delight in you. I'm in the VIP section of Club Isaac and I love it!  








Isaac is officially the big little brother, surpassing his 17 year old sister in height, which means we are officially a booster seat-free home!


My little traveler has been BEGGING for a get-away in a hotel, so we packed up for the night and enjoyed pool time and fed my boy's pizza loving heart & belly.  












Happy Birthday, Isaac.  You are a treasure. Thank you for letting me be your mom (and sometimes leaving your sister alone when I ask).  You are loved <3
