Today Isaac, Jason and I were photographed and interviewed for the Christian Co. Headliner newspaper. The pictures turned out great! I 
made Amelia, the reporter, show us a preview of the pictures so I could check my hair and make sure I didn't have a double chin! They were all good. Isaac got hungry during the photo shoot so we had to stop for a milk snack, but other than that he did a great job. We were interviewed about the adoption process and our reactions to becoming new parents. The article should run next Wednesday. It was lots of fun!

We were interviewed about the adoption process and our reactions to becoming new parents. The article should run next Wednesday. It was lots of fun!After the interview, we whisked Isaac off to the hospital for his newborn screening. Even though he isn't technically a newborn, his doctor thought it would be a good idea to run the normal tests that would be run on any infant born in the United States. We thought that sounded like a good 
idea too. Isaac did a good job. Jason held him and I looked away as they were collecting the blood so that I didn't faint. What kind of example would that be setting for my son?! Then it was back home for a quick nap and a bottle before my friend Lori came over to meet Isaac for the first time. They were instant friends! He is sleeping now, I guess he will miss Project Runway. Oh well, I will catch him up on all the details when he wakes up!

Your son is beautiful! What faith you all have and what a great God we serve! May Isaac continue to grow strong...he is a little fighter! God must have great things for him to do.
We just arrived home in June with your little girl. She too was very ill and in the hospital before she got home and even after with pneumonia and RSV. Go look at her now!
Congratulations! And I will be praying for your 2nd trip.
