isaiah is 4

My firstborn son is 4. I'm feeling quite old just writing that. Isaiah is such an amazing gift to Bryan and I. We had no intentions of thinking about a baby 5 months into our marriage, but the Lord had a better plan worked out for us. 


This little bundle of joy joined our world on April 11, 2007 (just 2 months & 8 days after our first wedding anniversary). 

(going to add a pic here when I can figure out how to download it from where Bryan hid it!!!! I've had this post written for 4 days, so I wanted to post it in Isaiah's actual bday week)

Isaiah, you are such a precious addition to our little family. You make us laugh on a daily basis. You sing songs you've learned in Sunday School all day long. You love to color and paint, and right now you are really excited about learning and writing your ABC's.


You are a bit obsessive compulsive, and I love it because we understand each other so well. We like things to have order and meaning, and I love that we share that together! You are always putting things away in the right spots, and helping me all around the house. 


You have a servants heart - You ALWAYS help me with the laundry by folding clothes or towels and putting them away in the correct spot. You like to help set the table and make dinner. You like to help unload the dishwasher. You love to help carry things if my arms are overloaded. 


You are very aware of your surroundings. You know when someone is feeling sad or upset. You are right there, comforting as best as you can.


You love to cuddle, and I love that you still like to cuddle with your mama! You are my thoughtful little man, and I love you so much! 


What I love most? Your prayers. You pray so well for such a little man and I love hearing you talk to the Lord. It warms my heart to know that you are on a journey to serve at such a young age. 

Happy 4th birthday, Zay! You are SO loved!
