Isaac- February 9, 2009

"...I don't remember growing older, when did [he]?...

...When did he grow to be so tall?

Wasn't it yesterday when [he] was small?"


Isaac- September 28, 2001

"Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset... Swiftly flow the days;
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers, blossoming even as we gaze. Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset...Swiftly fly the years; One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears!"

Fiddler on The Roof, for those of you scoring at home! :)

Isn't that a very nice kong that Oquirrh dumped over Scott's shoulder?!

Isaac wanted to have an ocean theme for his birthday party...


So...the kiddos made anemones when they came in, which we used during our "musical anemones" game...they were clownfish, so if they were on their anemones they were safe- otherwise, they were shark lunch.

A crab walk race between the King Crab team and the Blue Crab team was a big hit! The kids (krill) also liked slinking army-style through whales (boxes) as quickly as they could, in order to avoid being stuck in the baleen and playing hot potato with Ian's tiger shark from Sea World. Pin-the-tail on the killer whale ended the afternoon of fun.

Ahhh, Erika. You have more creativity in your pinky finger than I have in my entire body. Sounds like you had a great day...great job! Those are memories your boys will never forget! Isaac is soooo big! It's unbelivable. You all look great; we miss you so much! Lots of love!
