It's the birthday season at our house!

We have March, April and May babies so far, so this time of the year is full of birthday excitement. Samuel turned 6 last week!  He has been so excited to be one year older.  He keeps reminding me that next year he'll be old enough to join the "bigger" kids soccer group.  Where does the time go?  He's my first baby and so went through the biggest learning curve for me as a mom.  Thankfully, he still seems pretty normal and happy :-)

He is so grown up these days, and part of me can hardly remember those years which have already passed.  I am so thankful for pictures!

Happy 3 year old playing in the snow.

He always has been Mr. Personality!

First year chubber.

Cutie pie!

Oldest of three boys!  We sure love Sammy!

We have a 2-year old!

This little guy turned 2 back in March, and I thought it'd be fun to talk about our little whippersnapper today.  Each time we have a child I have a hard time going back and remembering what life was like before they joined the family.  It's incredible how quickly they just become part of us, and we're all that much better off.

Isaac has blessed our family so much already.  He was born in the midst of some crazy remodeling, home purchasing, stressful times, and he fit right into the chaos with amazing ease.  He does seem to take life in stride, (well, as long has he's the center of mom's attention and as long has he doesn't have to share.  He doesn't even like to share mommy with daddy...but I digress.)  He loves everyone, and was my baby who would let just about anyone hold and love on him.  Part of the reason we picked the name Isaac is because it has such a fun meaning, "laughter".  Isaac has certainly lived up to his name's meaning.  He laughs easily!  He also still snuggles which Peter and I both love, and after he's been naughty it doesn't take much convincing him to go give the offended a hug and kiss.

Here he is so proud of himself for blowing out his candles.  He LOVES birthdays, and if he ever sees a lit candle he immediately either starts singing "Happy Birthday" or he points at it and says, "Hap Birthday to ya!"  

It's hard to believe that two years have gone by!  He was such a little guy when he was born.  But, it's also been fun to watch him grow and change.  Sometimes I wish I could hold back the hands of time just a little bit though.  So thankful to have pictures!!
