A BIG DAY!!!

Graduation is always looked at as a special time of year, but this year we really had reason to celebrate! My dad graduated with his Doctorate of Ministry on June 2!!! Also on that date, my parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. In honor of their marriage and of my dad's great achievement, we threw them a party last night. It was a fun night with friends and family (all the kids together for the first time!), and we had a great time sharing fond memories and making new ones!

THE BUMBO SEAT

This is one of the few things that I knew I wanted for Isaac. He loves to sit in it and look around, and it certainly makes going to a restaurant easier.

THREE MONTHS OLD!

It's amazing to me how quickly Isaac has grown up. At three months, he weighs 13 lbs, 4 oz. Every day he discovers new and exciting things. He is loving his hands right now. He has started to giggle, and David and I are just waiting to hear him laugh! His little feet are ticklish, and he loves to have his head scratched...all in all, he is such a joy to have in our lives. On my first Mother's Day, I reflected on how life has changed since Isaac entered the world, and I realized that I would be incomplete without him! Being a mom has been the greatest gift. Sure, there are hard days, and teething is certainly no picnic, but I wouldn't trade him for anything...what a beautiful boy God has blessed us with!

JUST SOME CUTE PICTURES

TRIP TO TENNESSEE

Over my Spring Break, I took my students to Gatlinburg, TN to do some work at the Smokey Mountain Children's Home. Most of them had never been before, and they had a blast! This was Isaac's first out of state trip...here are a few pics!

Two of my girls, Kaleigh and Kayleigh, bought Isaac these shoes, some socks and this shirt...very cute!!!
We went to the Comedy Barn

A NEW BABY!

Jamie and Crystal welcomed their third child (they say the last...we'll see:) on April 22, 2007. She looks kind of big, but she's only 6 pounds, 9 ounces. She's so cute...we hope to go and see her soon!

He must have been very tired

Isaac ate at 10pm last night, and he fell asleep around 10:30. I am very accustomed to him sleeping for about 3-4 hours and then waking up to eat. I woke up at 4:45am and looked at my clock...I had to rush to his bassinet to be sure he was still breathing! I actually woke him up while doing it...who knows how long he would have slept! What did I learn? As much as I would LOVE to sleep longer than he usually lets me, any changes like that cause a mild amount of panic in my heart...which is probably just as it should be.

Two Months Old!!

Isaac is growing up so fast,

and we are constantly amazed by what he can do!

At his two month appointment he weighed 12 pounds and measured at 23.5 inches long.

He had his first round of immunizations (three shots), and I think we were more upset than he was. He came home and slept from 6pm until 9am, waking about every 3-4 hours to eat. Poor guy!

I'm a little partial, but I think he must be the cutest baby I have ever seen!

DADDY'S LITTLE DUDE

HAPPY EASTER!

ISAAC ENJOYED HIS FIRST EASTER, AND HE LOOKED ADORABLE IN HIS SUIT!

ALREADY ONE MONTH OLD!

I can't believe my little baby is already one month old! It goes by so fast! And he's not so little any more. He already weighs 10 pounds!!!
