WE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE GOT TO TAKE HIM HOME AND KEEP HIM!!!
(Nicholas picked out this t-shirt for Isaac)
Jeremy and I NEVER thought that we would be blessed again, with another baby. A baby that recognizes his mommy and daddy's voice....and he is calmed when he hears it....a baby that falls asleep on our shoulder, that resembles us, as we gaze into his sweet little eyes....a baby that we know so well, as to know when he is hungry, hurting, joyful, or just fussy....we know these things about him because he is OURS....Our Dear Sweet Lord created him just for us and us just for him!!
(Can you spot all 4 kids in this pic....Isaac is in this pic, but tucked away inside of my belly)
We always wanted that big Catholic family of 6+ kids, but after 9 years of praying, we decided that it just wasn't our Lord's Will for us. We were truly grateful for our 3 beautiful children and knew that our Lord wanted us to be content with a smaller Catholic family : )
THEN CAME ISAAC
He was only 19 inches long, but changed EVERYTHING in an enormous way!!
We are so thankful for him and cannot believe that he is all ours!!
He has brought our family SO MANY smiles, giggles, and just pure joy!! He has slowed us down greatly, which is one of the biggest blessings of all. We are home more, just playing, just visiting, just being together!! He is blessing us as we must practice true patience and charity.
WHEN I AM A MOMMY, I AM TRULY THE BEST VERSION OF MYSELF
(Little babies require so much self-giving, while seemingly giving nothing in return....we know better though....Isaac blesses us a million times over in return, by teaching us the true and pure virtue of patience and charity!!)
We would not trade this time for the world!!
Jeremy and I just love our kids so much!!

WE PRAISE OUR LORD IN EVERYTHING.....THE VICTORIES WHICH ARE A SHOWER OF HEAVENLY GIFTS, AS WELL AS THE TRAGEDIES, WHICH CALL US TO RUN AND SEEK SHELTER IN THE ARMS OF OUR STRONG FATHER
Thank you for our family
