Our Home Study

...is finally done! I was beginning to wonder if this day would ever come! It is being mailed all over the place this week to be signed by a variety of people, and then it will go to USCIS so they can approve us to bring an orphan into the US. It's anyone's guess as to when this approval will be granted, but we are praying that it will be soon! Feel free to do the same! :)

The Zoo

Isaac and I spent the day at Como Zoo with our friends Stacy and Anna, who just came home from Uganda. The kiddos definately enjoyed the stationary entertainment more than the animals that we went there to see...oh, well -as long as they're happy!

Isaac barely gave a glance to the real giraffes, but was pretty excited about this one.

This was a photo booth with a curtain that provided a good 15 minutes of fun...at no cost :)

Isaac and Anna had so much fun looking at each other through the hole in this post. They're so cute together.

Two!!

Birthday Party #1

Isaac's second birthday isn't officially until next Sunday, but since my brother and his wife were in town from TX for Grandma's retirement, we decided to celebrate Isaac's birthday too.

Here's Isaac with his fun aunt and uncle.

Isaac was pretty excited about his new picnic table. I always love the pictures of all the guys trying to put together the new toy :)Doesn't he just look like he's wishing he had a little brother or sister to share it with??


Isaac loves Elmo, but he was way more excited to eat the cake than look at it!

This one's from that morning - I just thought it was cute!
