I can’t believe it has been eleven years since Xochitl and I started this parenting gig!  Isaac is growing up very fast.  Everyone had a good time in spite of the simpler style of birthday party.  I took Isaac to the toy store to spend some of his birthday money and then we let the children stay up as late as they wanted to for a special treat.  They had fun building lego sets and playing Nintendo DS games until about 12:30 am.   They really thought it was a big deal to stay up late and put themselves to bed.  Only nine months until the next birthday...
