Happy 9th birthday to our first son! We had a great day celebrating Isaiah’s birthday. He started the day talking with both sets of grandparents and then we did Art and PE classes. Isaiah wanted tacos (with homemade guacamole, salsa, and black beans) for his birthday dinner and a chocolate cake decorated as a compass. After dinner we watched a slideshow of pictures of Isaiah from birth and then gave gifts. Isaiah’s siblings were very excited to give him gifts. They did a great job picking out things for him. We gave Isaiah a 6-man tent, which promptly went up and all the kids slept in it for the night. It was an exciting night! Isaiah told Ezra that his gift would be using the potty and somehow convinced Ezra to start wearing underwear…. pretty great gift for us all!
Thankful for our Isaiah. He’s a very thankful young man and expresses his appreciation often. He’s done a great job growing in his academic subjects – he loves to learn things. This year he read Fellowship of the Rings and has started the second book. He’s enjoying art class and often uses the technique taught to make other projects. He’s learning to touch type this year and doing a great job. He’s working on reading through the Bible. So glad we have this young man as our own!
