Biased...

When Sal has his days off I always find new pictures of our little boy on my computer...I know I'm biased but he is absolutely teh most beautiful little boy ever!!!

Are you lookin' at me?

So Sweet, so calm for now...

(don't be fooled!)

Chili - Yummy!

Tonight we had chili for dinner - I found this great super easy recipe on the Kraft website. **Isaac has now completely rejected any and all baby food, infact he won't even eat anything that is on a spoon - go figure! If he can't pick it up with his fingers and feed himself, he's not eating it. So tonight he ate chili with us!!**

Hey Moms, what did you feed your little one when they started to eat solids? I know he can eat just about anything we eat, but we need some ideas as to what may be the best for Isaac :) Leave a comment with your ideas!!!

Isaac and Ace

While we were in Austin we visited our friends Zach, Cheri, and Caleb!!! They have this huge cat, Ace. Isaac has seen a cat before but probably has never had the chance to come into close contact with one. Needless to say he was pretty amazed by Ace, and Ace was so gentle, he just let Isaac pet him, and follow him around.

Thanks Zach and Cheri for having us over! We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to many more!! We love you guys!

Yee Haw Cowboy!

Last weekend, we visited Austin. Our nephews (Isaac's cousins) came and visited and Zack wore his cowboy hat. Sal thought it would be funny to see how big his hat was on Isaac....well as you can see, it wasn't all that big, it actually fit perfectly on his head. What do you think that says about the size of Isaac's head? He 's been in the 80th percentile in his head size...I guess this is just more confirmation. Isaac fits into his 12yr old cousin's hat...sheesh!

NO MORE COWBOY HAT!!!

Our Boy!

Our Sweet Boy is getting so big!

Mommy & Isaac....yeah he doesn't really look like me huh? Maybe the next one will heehee!
(And NO I am NOT pregnant)

Hey Dude! You lookin at me?

Daddy's look alike! The two most handsome men I know!!!

Grateful

These past two weeks have certainly not been the easiest...but the desires of my heart are beginning to have life and a plan is being drafted...Anyone that knows me well knows I don't like change. I don't like the adjustment, I don't like the "unknown", and I don't like the growing pains...but this time it seems different. I am not anxious, I am not second guessing my decision. The only explanation I have for feeling strength, peace, and joy is that we are following the perfect will of our amazing God! This peace is overwhelming, even though we don't know how things are going to work out we know it is going to be alright. Today I was asked if I would rethink my decision, and I didn't even hesitate - if this had happened a year or a few months ago I don't know if I would have had the resolve I feel right now. Wednesday night our Pastor (Ron) talked about being Confident in our relationship with Christ. A way to be confident is to look back and see where you've come from and recognize how God has been faithful throughout all the things you've been through. Another amazing point is to recognize the God that is inside of us, remember that when we are weak the creator of our universe has a home in each of us, how comforting is that thought!? And at the beginning and end of the day I am reminded why I get up in the morning, why I chase my dreams, why we sacrifice...

Our Dream, Our Love, Our Son

Isaac!
