Last week Geoff was gone at a conference in California (just a wee bit jealous), so the kids and I met up with my sister and her daughter in Sandy at the Aquarium. I had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. We all had a really great time, until I realized that left my camera bag somewhere and nearly had a heart attack. I kept all the kids while my sister ran around like a crazed woman, knowing how important finding it was, until she did just that. Blessings I tell you!

The day started out with a balloon filled room and the traditional break-through-the-streamers bedroom exit, followed by powdered doughnuts, grapefruit and presents. The real fun began after my lame clothes presents when he opened a Hex-Bug from Lucy and Rock Em’ Sock Em’ from Geoff. Geoff was never more excited, probably because he loved the same game at the same age.

Isaac continues to be a smart, athletic and loving boy. We are so grateful to have him in our family. Geoff and I looked at each other this morning and smiled, thinking about the day he made us parents for the very first time. We love you Isaac!
