Eleven! It's hard to believe that late-night trip to the hospital following dinner out and a partial viewing of "Rocky" (because Adam thought it would be hilarious if his laboring wife contracted to the sounds of "Gonna Fly Now") was already 11 years ago. But here we are.

I think Isaac had a good birthday. He took his birthday pictures without complaint and then we all lunched at CPK, came home and played a round of Fast Food Franchise (which he won handily thanks to a hefty investment in Chicken Surprise), dinner'ed at Applebees, and had cake, ice cream, and presents to close out the day.

I know all parents think their kids are awesome (as we should!), but Isaac is, objectively, a really good boy. He's kind and sweet and patient and tolerant and a really good brother. So today, as we celebrate his birth, I'm extra thankful that God chose him to be part of our family.
