June 15

Isaac turned 12 years old today. Twelve! It seems completely crazy to me that my sweet-tempered Number Three is a mere year from becoming a teenager.

Given the whole ongoing COVID thing combined with this being the very first birthday we've celebrated at the new house, it was a different kind of day, but I think he made the best of it. He had bacon and chocolate-covered doughnut holes for breakfast, and then opted for carry-out from Red Robin for lunch (since the corn doggies and mandarin oranges from the kids' menu are a long-time fave for both Isaac and Brady) and pizza from Mountain Mike's for dinner. He was disappointed to miss out on his annual birthday photo shoot, so he got dressed in actual nice clothes --all on his own-- and we did a little shoot of our own in the back yard. Then, as is our custom, we closed out the festivities with presents and cake and a picture on the couch and the customary height-check. (He came in at 5'5", for anyone wondering about that! Won't be long til he passes me.)

I hope he had a good day because he truly deserves good days. He is kind and smart and thoughtful and compassionate, and I am so proud and blessed to be his mom. Happy birthday, bup!
