Our family has fallen victim to the latest (and not-so-greatest) stomach flu. Yuck. I don't think I've ever seen my husband this sick. The kids and I have gotten through it okay for the most part. Now if we could just fumigate the house . . .
Tonight I was cuddling with Sammie after feeding her and telling her what an adorable little person she is. From her squishy cheeks, to her chubby thighs, to her fuzzy hair, to her round little tummy -- oh, I wish I could just freeze time! As I ran my finger across her belly she let out a giggle and I had a thought come to me, unbidden. Tomorrow my Isaac would have been two years old! Two! It's hard to imagine. And yet this anniversary is easier to handle when I have his sister to hold on to.
Does anyone else still think of him? Or is it just Ethan and I? He is so precious to us. Although I don't know what else tomorrow will bring, I think I might have to get his box from the hospital down and hold onto the blanket we held him in. And I'll thank God for the five beautiful kids He's given us.

I think of him all the time, Kimberly. Because your sweet Isaac was born just days after Wilson. I'm glad to hear that this anniversary may come a little bit easier for you, although I'm sure it will never be easy. You are so strong. Happy Birthday Isaac!
I was thinking of him today too. Happy second birthday Isaac!
I find myself thinking of sweet little Isaac and wishing that I would have known you better then and could have been more supportive during that trial in your life. You are an amazing mother and you have such a way with words that makes me think about just how precious life is, and that I need to slow down a little more and just enjoy those little moments to treasure with each of my children. You are such a great example to me, Happy Birthday Isaac! Hope everyone over there is on the mend...thinking of you :)!
Your sweet, little Isaac will always be remembered! I can't believe it's his second birthday already! I am happy for you that you have the blessing of Samantha to help you this birthday but I know he is still deeply missed.
I think of him just about every other time I look at Ella and think how she's grown. We miss him. I can't believe I talked to you today and said NOTHING! What a friend I am! Boo. I have been thinking of him and his parents all month telling myself to be sure to call you on the 19th. We love your family so much...all SEVEN of you! Glad it's getting easier. :-)
i think of you all often. i miss you all and i miss him.
