"a nice day"

Isaac has the habit of spontaneously proclaiming "it's a niiiiice day!" It may be because the sun is shining (which is something to celebrate around here this spring) or it may be because we stopped for ice cream or just because Dad is home and we are enjoying being together again. It never ceases to make me pause and reflect on the simple good things of life when I hear him say those words.

Initially I left blogworld because we lost our computer service. Then, I thought I wouldn't return until we got the new computer. But, alas I feel the pull back even though we're not fully wired 24/7 at home here yet. Although blogging is random...it is like Isaac's words to me...a moment to pause and reflect on the good things in our life and the wonderful opportunity to share them with those we love who are so far away from us.

We were thrilled beyond words to see the Pirates come from behind (3-2) in the top of the 9th inning (2 outs) to win the game 4-3! Even for a lame sports enthusiast like their mom--this was a really exciting finish for the boys first professional sports game.
