This Boy....

This boy.... ....is doing great! He's running, playing, talking, sleeping through most nights, and learning new signs faster than we can keep up with! To look at him now, you would never know he was so sick just a month ago. Tomorrow we are taking Isaac to Children's Hospital to have another scope done. They will be looking to see if he has developed any scar tissue, which would require surgery. We are praying that we will be given the "all clear", and that we won't have to walk into that building again any time soon!

This boy... ...even managed to stay healthy while Kaitlin and Russell had colds. They both wore face masks around the house for about 10 days.

This boy... ...still loves to "read" any book he comes across :).

This boy... ...is learning how to feed himself with a spoon. Many messes abound!

This boy... ...still calls Grandma "Mommy" (we're working on that one!), but insists on calling Grandpa "Papa", despite Grandpa's many attempts to teach him otherwise!
Grandpa: "No, not Papa -that sounds too old! It's Grandpa!"
Isaac: "Papa?"
Grandpa: "No... G-r-a-n-d-p-a!"
Isaac: "Papa?"

This boy....
...was Superman for Halloween...of course! Russell actually bought this cape from the thrift store at Children's Hospital when Isaac was in the ICU there.

This boy...
....had a great time at the Apple Barn on Halloween afternoon. He tried valiantly to pick up every pumpkin we came across, calling them all "balls" :).

This boy... ...loves his sister! He has taken to calling her "Kay-tee", complete with the sign for "sister". Very cute!

This boy...
...will be sorely missed by his Mommy when she returns to work next week.

This boy...
... is the light of our lives! Isaac means "laughter", and never has a name been more fitting. He brings a smile to people's faces wherever he goes! We will never stop thanking God for healing our boy, and for allowing us the privilege of being his parents.
