We are so lucky to have Isaac in our family.  He is full of mischief and is developing quite a sense of humor.  Being a teenager is difficult.  It is hard for me to see him describe himself as average when I can see that he is so smart and caring and responsible.  He is in 8th grade and I just have to remember that that is the worst time of all the school years.  I know that he will come out of this period with his blooming personality still intact.  I can't wait to see what will happen to him as he grows.
