15 months

I can’t believe I have a 15 month old.  I remember when he was little bitty I’d wonder what it would be like for my little guy to be walking and talking and basically acting like his own little person.  It’s awesome, y’all. This morning, while changing his diaper up in the nursery, we heard…

Finalization Day

Today at 1:30 pm CT, a judge in a courtroom way down in Louisiana decreed that Isaac is forever and ever a part of our family. I loved him with all my heart before I even met him, and he was my baby boy from the moment I laid eyes on him, but now we’re…

Mom and Rachel babysat while Isaac was sleeping,…

Isaac’s actual birthday was a bit rainy, so we headed to the mall for a special treat for the birthday boy – a train ride! First, we had lunch at Nando’s Peri Peri: Then, it was train time! That evening, we had a birthday dinner for the little guy, with his first ever dessert on…
