Isaac turns two

On May 7, 2008, the phone rang, and our life would change forever. A young woman, ten hours away, was in labor on her eighteenth birthday. Later that evening, she'd birth a tiny bundle of joy and call us to say "Come meet your son."

How amazingly blessed we have been to spend the last two years watching this tiny little baby turn into the boy he has become. Isaac John, you have melted our hearts. You remind us each day, with your sweet spirit and peaceful disposition, of our Heavenly Father's love for us in adopting us into the family of God. We feel incredibly priviledged and honored to be your Dad and Mom. After so many years dreaming of being parents, to be parents to a child like you went beyond our wildest expectations. We love you sweet son. Our prayer for you is that you continue to operate in the peace and kindness that radiates from your soul and that you grow to love the Lord and find happiness amongst the trials of the world. Thank you for being our little boy. Thank you Chris and Bri for picking us to be his Daddy and Mommy.

Joia also sent me her celebration post from two years ago!
