Our first born...
Isaac Timothy.
Oh how he has grown...
In height and maturity!
It's been a tough ride with him, but the bumps are smoothing out and the road is less windy. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Meltdowns that used to last hours and even days are all but a thing of the past. He may still erupt like a volcano but, the cooling process is only a few minutes. He willingly apologizes and sees the need for reconciliation.
He wants to do right...
...and make us proud.
But the struggle between good and evil is so hard in this world... In this flesh.
Grace...
God's grace!
It's something we practice daily with him.

We love this little man so much and want him to be the best version of himself.
Soon he'll be taller than me!

His teacher, Mrs. Medeiros, is so inspiring. He's finally loving school!
(just to clarify: I've LOVED all his teachers)
I heard a song on the radio the other day and it brought me to tears. Then I watched the video and that made it worse. It's my new favorite song. Very convicting. I'm thankful that my kids show me grace, too!
Be Like You

Have nine months really gone this fast?
Holding my baby girl in my hands
Ten million thoughts running through my mind
One thing's for sure, God I want to get this right
Holding my baby girl in my hands
Ten million thoughts running through my mind
One thing's for sure, God I want to get this right
I want to love her like You love me
Give her everything can
I want to live a life that's holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen anybody
But I'm the one You gave her to
If she's gonna be like me
Then God I want to be like You
Give her everything can
I want to live a life that's holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen anybody
But I'm the one You gave her to
If she's gonna be like me
Then God I want to be like You
Finally turned five and he looks like me
Always playing baseball or climbing up some tree
God I know he won't always be this young
Let him grow up proud to be his daddy's son
Always playing baseball or climbing up some tree
God I know he won't always be this young
Let him grow up proud to be his daddy's son
I want to love him like You love me
Give him everything I can
I want to live a life that's holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen any body
But I'm the one You gave him to
Give him everything I can
I want to live a life that's holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen any body
But I'm the one You gave him to
If he's gonna be like me
'Cause their feet are gonna follow
Where their father leads them to
So Father won't You lead me straight to You, to You
Where their father leads them to
So Father won't You lead me straight to You, to You
And when my life is over
I pray that they will look back
And say they saw a bit of Jesus in their dad
I pray that they will look back
And say they saw a bit of Jesus in their dad
I want to love them like You love me
Give them everything I can
I want to live a life that's holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen any body
But I'm the one You gave them to
If they're gonna be like me
Oh, if they're gonna be like me
Then God I want to be like You
Like You
Give them everything I can
I want to live a life that's holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen any body
But I'm the one You gave them to
If they're gonna be like me
Oh, if they're gonna be like me
Then God I want to be like You
Like You
