Finally, an update!

Well, it has been a while since we updated.  Lots have happened and we are constantly on the run.  I guess you all want to know how Isaac is doing.  Well, he has decided that he wants to be President when he grows up!  He has decided that Jennifer will be the cook and cook his meals.  Anna Claire is going to fly his airplane.  At first he thought that we would have to change his name to Barrack Obama when he becomes President.  We finally convinced him that he could keep his name and be President too.  School is good for him.  He is constantly amazing us with what he is learning.  His Kindergarten teacher lives across the street from us.  Since the last update, we have moved to a new house.  We had to sell our other house due to the amount of money we financed for the adoption.  We came to the point where we don't care where we live, as long as we have our family together.  I could exist in a cardboard box as long as I have my wife and children with me.  I changed jobs at the beginning of the school year.  I am now a 21st Century Skills Facilitator with the school system and I cover two different schools.  Anna Claire and Isaac both take acrobatics on Thursdays and they love it.  I can't wait to see them both in the recital.  Other than the changes, we are life as usual.  

I have to tell you all about the conversation Isaac and I had at bedtime tonight.  He wanted me to tell him a story from the bible, so I told him about Adam and Eve.  He also wanted me to tell him another story.  So.....I decided to tell him about our trip to get him and bring him home.  I really thought he was asleep because he wasn't saying anything.  Then, all of a sudden, he started chiming in with things he remembered from our trip.  His eyes got really big when we were talking about the day we met him.  I told him that his birth mother was there.  He said, "I never know her."  I told him that we had pictures if he wanted to see them.  He didn't say anything.  He loves to talk about the day we met him.  A couple of weeks ago, I told him about putting him on my shoulders.  I told him that I was so hot and sweaty, that they lady at the orphanage thought he had peed on me.  He laughed and laughed!  He reminded me of that tonight.  He made me go through the entire story until we got to the part where we got back home and he met his grandparents, aunt and sister.  

I just can't describe the joy I felt telling him that story tonight.  Life with Isaac in the house is the greatest thing.  I can honestly say that about both my kids.  They are the best gift.  I promise I will do better at updating.  It may not be as interesting as when we were in Vietnam, but I think our lives are pretty riveting!  Love to all.
