Isaac

From His arms to mine,
you came.
You are my miracle,
sent from above.
My joy...my precious gift.
Ten tiny toes, ten little fingers
how small,
how beautifully...perfect.
You came to breathe a breath of life...
To give to you,
to give to me,
a blessing, a promise of an eternal family.
Even though your time was short
here on earth
I knew your mission was fulfilled.
I'll cherish it.
I know
you are safe, you are happy
wrapped in the arms of your Heavenly Father.
My little one,
You'll wait for me
and I you.
I know,
My little one,
I'll see you again,
raise you again
in the life to come.
How glorious it will be!
My tears are now of
Faith...Comfort...Peace.
My precious little one,
Until I hold you again...
I Love You!

A friend of a family member, whom we've never met, wrote this for our family after Isaac was born.
Today we celebrate Isaac's 2nd birthday.
I remember everything very specifically about that night. The chaos, the fear and then the complete peace that overcame the room when he was born. His short moments here on earth have impacted my life more than I ever imagined.
He's our angel.
We sent two blue balloons to him in heaven today and had some birthday cake.
I'm pretty sure he would've loved birthday cake!

We love sweet boy! Until we meet again...

Watching the balloons fly to heaven...and Brynlee longingly watching the swings.
She was pretty ticked when we went inside without swinging!

Hey guys!
Just in case you didn't see on Facebook--we are going on a cruise and want you to come! It is May 10th through the 14th. We depart out of Long Beach, CA and cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada Mexico. It's a 4 night cruise. We are so excited and want a lot of friends to come party it up with us!! As of right now the cheapest ticket price per person is $219! (We upgraded to make sure we didn't get bunk beds) But still so cheap!!! Hope that you can come along. Let us know because after you book we want to link or itinerary and sit together at dinner. It's gonna be sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
