Yesterday marks our second annual adoption day. Since Meg's B-day and Joe's B-day are also within the same 2 week time frame we plan to do a bigger than normal party. It seems like time has really flown since then. I can remember the car ride home from the courthouse. I was gazing down at the adoption decree where the kids "new names" were listed as Isaksen. It was so emotional and impossible to imagine what we had just done...not only in the temperal life but also the eternities. The kids were sealed to us in the Portland Oregon Temple in the summer of 2007. Since then we continue to work together growing closer to one another.

Kids climbed all over the judge and slammed the gavel
Homeschool was fun today. In our History lesson we learned about how people used to dress and communicate. We talked about all the different ways people sent messages to eachother from the town cryer to mail by horse carriage. We then talked about giving special messages to our family members through nice cards and notes. They got to decorate a paper sack for their "mail". We also set up a valentine card making center with all the goodies needed to make valentines. At the end of the week we will have a lil family party. Should be fun!!!
