Isaac turns 12

Folks, I can't thank you enough for making Isaac's quarantine birthday one that will be etched into his memory forever. He received almost 100 cards (and many people have told me their card is still on the way.)

We opted to do a "time lapse" video. He helped up each card after he opened it, but when we watched the video, it's really too fast for you to actually see each card. But hopefully you will get the idea.

I promised Isaac he did not have to write 100 thank you notes, but he will be writing one, and I will share it with everyone who blessed him on this day. He had sooo much fun.

The Kotynski family, John's parents, and his brother and kids were all here. Our two wwoofers were here as was our dear friend Anni and her foster daughter. It was a great day of celebrating. Enjoy the video below to see what a wonderful experience it was for us all:
