Isaiah Samuel Turns FIVE

Elijah’s birthday is January 25th and three days later it is Isaiah’s big day….
Isaiah came home to us from China in August of 2007. It was an amazing story of our Miracle-Working, Mountain-Moving, Awe-Inspiring, Gasp-Giving God….if you missed reading how he came home and how God parted the Red Sea (literally) head over to the sidebar section marked “My Favorite Places to Hang Out” and click on the link “Journey to Isaiah Samuel” (you won’t be disappointed – he is our miracle son!):
Breakfast in bed is tradition at our home……
Dinner at Applebee’sElijah has decided to be a little stinkhead whenever we pull out the camera….no longer does he turn away, instead he grins from ear to ear and closes his eyes tight….he is too funny!!

We only could find three candles in our home (the hotel)…..
still the sweetest smile on earth!

While my husband only had 11 months with Jeffrey ..our little man filled our lives with hope when we needed it most. God is awesome! I will be posting bday party pictures soon…there you will find Shauna who is another bloggy friend. We chat about you all often and lift you in prayer.

  3. Happy birthday, Miracle Boy! I guess having a birthday in a hotel room is such an adventure for a little guy—fun! Looks like you all had a wonderful time together.
    Continuing to pray for every need you have. Please keep us updated with prayer requests along the way. Any news on finding a rental?
    Love

  6. Oh sweet precious Isaiah! God knew you before you were born and what a plan He has in store for you! May you soon have TWO birthday’s a year 🙂 (as our John would say.. my first birthday is the day I was born into this world, my 2nd birthday was the day I accepted Christ into my heart)

  8. Hello, I just found your blog from another blog friend. We also live in Colorado. I am so sorry for the loss of you home.
    Your story is very precious to my husband and I because we are passionate for the cause of the orphans. We have 10 children; seven have come home to us through adoption. We are praying to bring home another soon.
    Thank you for your story. I look forward to reading more and will be praying for you all!

  9. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRECIOUS BOY! I am seeing this today because we were celebrating our own precious baby’s birthday yesterday. You and Gracie share the same birthday, Isaiah! 🙂 And you both have sweet hearts and beautiful smiles that light up the world! May this be a year full of blessings and SO MUCH FUN for you, Sweetpea! Love from Amy and Family
