Home Improving

Dave has been keeping himself busy the past couple days re-doing our flooring in our house. We had some crummy carpet in the hallway and in the den. He laid tile in the hallway, and wood floors in the den. I wish I took a before picture, but I didn't. Here are some after pics.

First Day of School!

Jakob, Isaak and Colin started school this year on July 30th. They all had a great first day of school. Dave and Natalie and I got to take Colin to his playground and wait for him to line up. He did just fine. No tears.. well, no tears from him anyway. He lined up with the other kids, and waved goodbye and walked inside. Dave and I looked at eachother and about busted into tears. Even Natalie was upet. Our little guy that has been home with us is now into his education adventure.

Isaak Ray turns 9!

Isaak's birthday was July 28th. He is 9 years old, and going into 3rd grade. Let me tell you a little bit about this boy of mine. I couldn't be any more luckier to have him. When he was a baby he was the sweetest thing ever. Easiest baby of all. He hardly ever cried. When Isaak was born, him and Jake became instant best friends. I remember Isaak would be on my bed watching the ceiling fan, and Jakob would come lay next to him just to be near him. As Isaak grew older, I have noticed a lot of my dad's personality in him. Isaak is very caring of others feelings, and just a sensitive kid all together. If he sees any worry on my face, he is right there to give me a hug. If he sees that I am overwhelmed, he will ask what he can do to help me. I wouldn't know what I would do without Isaak. He is an amazing little person, and I can't wait to see what he is going to do with his life.
Things Isaak enjoys: Reading, Learning new things, school, chess, Harry Potter, video or computer games, dancing, playing cards..
I dont have many picture of him from whan he was little, but when I find more time I will scan some and add them in here. He was such a cute little kid! (and still is!)
