Picture of a Seven Year Old Boy

It is about time that I posted something of Isaac's birthday since he has been seven now for over two weeks. He is such a good little boy and growing everyday. Anyone ever have that feeling when looking at your child that they are growing up before your eyes and if you blink you might miss it all? I looked at Isaac the other day and it seemed as if he was suddenly so much older. I can't believe that my baby is in second grade. In less than four years my baby will be in middle school already. I am so grateful that he is still my boy. I cherish those times when he sits on my lap, climbs up on me and kisses me, because I know that those moments will become fewer and fewer as time goes on. How I will miss them!

just in time for Halloween.

The pinata was Darth Vader's head. Isaac had to have a pinata even though it was just a small family party. Pinatas make a party!!


Party decorations were Star Wars themed as requested by Isaac. This cute banner made a fun backdrop for pictures of the kids. Isaac gifts were a new bike since he had long outgrown his other one, a watch and little leather wallet "like Daddy's" with seven dollars in it. I wish I had a picture of his wide eyes when he saw those seven dollars. Boy, he was rich!!

Here is a funny story from seven year old Isaac...we were all around the dinner table when he began.

Isaac: "I can't wait to be a Daddy, I want to be a Daddy right now!"

Me: "Why right now?"

Isaac: "Because, then I can come home from work and when my kids ask me to play I will tell them that I just want to be a BUMP ON A LOG."

Family: (Laughing Out Loud)

*P.S. Steve has been making a little more effort to play with Isaac when he comes home from work. Childlike honesty can guilt any parent into almost anything.
