Way back on August 15, Isaac turned 7 years old! We celebrated as a family the night before his birthday since Nate had to work and the rest of us were going to the cottage. This year we gave him rollerblades and a new Bible. He was excited to have his own rollerblades! The next day, we drove to the cottage on his birthday, what a great place to celebrate! We got the traditional donut and Starbucks hot chocolate before heading out of town. Isaac requested pizza for his birthday supper, Grandpa and Aunt Steph were kind enough to buy some frozen pizzas for the birthday boy. Isaac also asked for a candy cottage birthday cake. Fitting as he loves candy and we were at the cottage. We had beautiful weather at the cottage and Isaac enjoyed swimming, riding on Aunt Beth's pontoon boat, getting ice cream at the ferry and playing outside.
Isaac is 4 ft, 2 inches tall and 57 pounds which puts him at the 75th percentile for weight and height. He is done losing teeth for a couple years. He is silly and loves making people laugh. Isaac is still a risk taker, and seems surprised when he gets hurt! He is enjoying soccer again this fall and Nate says he is one of the best players on the team. Isaac has become more aggressive and confident at soccer. Isaac plays well with Stephen and can make him laugh. Sometimes he forgets that he needs to be gentler with Stephen, but Stephen usually doesn't mind. Isaac and Caleb are still best friends and enjoy each other's company. Julia and Isaac can play well together sometimes. Isaac and Julia are only one grade apart which makes for some interesting interactions. At school Julia sometimes plays with Isaac's friends at recess, but Isaac doesn't seem to mind yet. And at church they are in the same Children's Worship and Sunday School class. Isaac is in first grade this year and is loving it. His teachers make learning fun and interesting. He is working hard at reading and excelling at math. Isaac's favorite friends at home are Patrick and Lydia. Isaac has a tender heart and I love his prayers. It surprises me sometimes that he remembers to pray for people we haven't talked about in awhile. Isaac is a sweet, kind, funny, and loving little boy. We look forward to watching him grow another year older!

We love Isaac's quick smile and his talent for being goofy this year in almost every picture we have tried to take of him. Aunt Jenny always talks about how great Isaac is at entertaining his cousin, Dallas. We thank God for Isaac!
