Isaac is 9!!

(Isaac got his gifts from Grandma B over the weekend together with Elisabeth's party, so I put this pic first)

And here is what our favorite nine yr-old looks like when we try to get him to smile for the camera:

And Zac bought trick candles for him. I don't even know why it was so funny - but it was pretty funny.

ohhhh - a Percy Jackson and the Olympians Guide!

And have you ever seen a kid get so excited by a lamp?! No, neither have I.

Anyway, I think he had a great birthday (despite some difficulties of my own).

And speaking of which, I'm not sure what to think of not getting any comments whatsoever on that last poem I posted. haha - Speechless, eh?

Oh well.

more later . . .
