A Special Day for Dada

I love Father's Day. It is an incredibly worthy celebration and a needed one. Our Dad's need to know how important they are to us. As Isaiah grows, I am more grateful than ever for what it means that Ramin Razavi is his Dad. Isaiah will grow up understanding LOVE-unconditional and authentic, SECURITY- that he is safe in his Daddy's love, CHARACTER-who we are becoming on the inside is of paramount importance, and VULNERABILITY-when we are honest about our weakness, then we are strong. My hubby is crucial and irreplaceable to our Sonny and I am overjoyed at the gift that is to him.

To celebrate, we took him to Pizzeria Locale (one of our favorites), ate delicious food and presented him with Isaiah's "best gift (look below for the reveal!)."

 Dada, taking a look at his gift.
 The anticipation for this 5 year old was too great to sit down.
 Aha! Not a tie, not a polo shirt, not a bottle of cologne...
...a LEGO Star Wars set, of course! The X-Wing Fighter.

Ramin and Isaiah had a blast building it together that afternoon. It now sits lovingly on our bedroom dresser (we've been able to maintain the boundary that it IS actually Daddy's). 

Isaiah Graduates!

It's been a WHILE since I've posted anything on our family blog. I have to say that the social media world and the instant-ness of Instagram have made it easy to forget about this space. I don't want to forsake it, though. This blog and I have been friends for a long time. 

To get things rolling again, here some pictures from our Isaiah's preschool graduation. He received his diploma from Mapleton Montessori School on June 1st and has been a proud little man since with his eyes set on kindergarten. It is hard for me to believe that I have an almost 6 year old. When it comes to our babies, time is not very friendly-it flies by way too quickly.

 What a big boy!

 So sweet.
