We finished the last of 3 birthday weekends for Isaac today. I always hate when we have had a full house for several days and then they leave. The house is always so quiet and the remnants of loved ones being here are still all around. It is a lonely that I always dread. :( We have had 3 wonderful parties for Isaac. He is surrounded by so much love and we are so thankful for that. This year we were so lucky to have Mike and Karen, Jason's dad and aunt, come to visit us. They are especially hard to say goodbye to since we know it will be at least another year before we are able to see them... and possibly longer. His aunt Karen has fought breast cancer this past year. She is so strong and I love her hope in and love for the Lord. It was so nice to be able to hug her neck and tell her I love her personally instead of over the phone. I hope she knows how much she means to us- and Mike too! :) The kids LOVED having "papa Mike" and "aunt Karen" here to play with. They had such a wonderful time. We hope to make it out there to see them next summer!
So to all the wonderful family who spent one of 3 special weekends with us..we love you, and thank you for loving our little 1 year old Isaac. Thank you also for loving on Benjamin and Elizabeth while you were here. They are all three so blessed to see what having a loving, supportive family is all about. We love each and every one of you!
