Getting Ready for Christmas

This past week we decorated our home for Christmas. Both boys took turns wearing the Santa hat. Isaiah seemed to be in a joy filled Christmas mood. That is Isaiah's personality, joy! His outfit does not match the season, oh well.

Christmas Photo Shoot

Christmas photo shoot. Getting two boys to look at the camera this year was a little more challenging and fun. These are some of the pictures from that day. I thought you might enjoy.

Christmas Tree Hunt

We went to cut down our Christmas Tree. The boys did great! Michael liked hiking around and Isaiah enjoyed the fresh air. After we found our perfect tree they warmed up in the car while Dad attached it to our car. A pickle Christmas tradition enjoyed every year!

Fall Update . . .

Sorry, it has been a while. What have we been up to this fall? Isaiah had his surgery and has been recovering. The boys have had lots of time to play together, a favorite place in the house is under the coffee table. Isaiah is a mover. He climbs stairs, walks along furniture . . . and can crawl very fast. Michael is growing fast using such big words and phrases now. He loves his brother but is still learning how to be nice to him. I guess it is a brotherly love relationship.

Isaiah's Baptism

Isaiah was Baptized over the weekend. He is such a gift from God.

Enjoying Fall

The boys are both doing well. Michael continues to be a loving brother that is proud of his new role as big brother. Isaiah is still smiling away by day. We are enjoying these little treasures. We have had fun this fall. We have been to the Pumpkin Patch, Pumpkin Daze, the Apple Orchard, and the Lincoln Park Zoo. Below we shared some photos from a couple of the days.

We had a nice time with our other adoptive family friends!

Michael's Gotcha Day

Michael's Gotcha Day was September 29th. Michael has been home for two joy filled and exciting years. Michael is such a blessing to us. It is amazing looking back at the last two years. The time goes so fast. Michael has transformed before our eyes into a confident, silly toddler that loves to make us all laugh. For his gotcha day celebration he received two books and a puzzle from Korea and chose to go to Chucky Cheese for dinner. God is so good. We are so thankful for Michael and our newest addition Isaiah!

Fun at Home

Isaiah has been home for three wonderful weeks. He is such a joy. We have been having fun spending a lot of time together as a family at home. Isaiah is a very happy, easy going baby and Michael is a wonderful big brother.
