We have Isaiah all signed up and he has attended 2 practices already. T-Ball is going to be a full commitment this Fall – there are 18 games on the calendar.
Check the Family Calendar to the right – I’ve put them all on there. Hope to see you all at some of the games.
8 years ago today, Jen and I welcomed our first child into the world.
It’s hard to imagine how fast the time ha gone by to see Jordan grow into her own personality and into a big 2nd grader now.
We’re very proud parents.
Thanks to everyone for coming out and sharing time with us last night at re|Create and the special family time afterwards.
Love you all !
This past Friday Jordan presented to her class one of her favorite Christmas traditions; she chose rolling grape leaves and making sarma.
She spoke on how it tradition started with “Little Grandma” when she came to America from Armenia, and how everyone sits around the table rolling the meat in the leaves and having a good old time.
It was touching to see Jordan instructing her class for the 10 minutes of her hands-on presentation.
Here are some of the photos Jen and Jordan took while they were in Arizona.
Today marked the beginning of another school year.
Jordan started 2nd grade and Isaiah will be hanging out in kindergarden. Both kids’ teachers seem pretty nice and the classes look to be filled with good kids. Blue Oaks Elementary is a pretty good school, click here to go see the school’s website.
Both kids came home tonight loving the day; they enjoyed meeting the new kids, the activities and just being back in school.
Obviously there will be tons of events so I’ll make sure to keep the calendar up-to-date with all the functions going on.

It is that time of year again.
Jordan is back on a soccer team. This year she is on the Flaming Hot Cheetas !!
I’ve started posting dates of the games on the Family Calendar.

Today our little man turned 5 years old !!
It’s amazing how fast the time has gone by. I was not too long ago thinking back to when we moved from Elk Grove to Roseville – part of the whole reason for the move was because Jen was pregnant with Isaiah and we needed that extra bedroom. Seems like not so long ago.
Tonight we did a somewhat low-key celebration. After Jen & I got off work and got home, we let Isaiah open a couple presents then we went to Chevy’s for dinner and had the wait staff sing happy birthday to Isaiah. You can see the quick video in the sidebar to the right –>
Nice night.
Truly Jen & I are blessed.
Here are a handful of the pictures from the party we had at Wacky Tacky.
That’s what we went through with Isaiah.
Kawasaki Disease is a strange, to say the least, phenomenon. There is no real understood cause, but it is somewhat prevalent (one of the doctors at our hospital said there are atleast 2 cases per month that come their way).
For some background on the Kawasaki Disease check out the definition here.
Isaiah started feeling bad late last Sunday and had all of the following symptoms after that first night of throwing up multiple times:
We ended up taking him to the doctor Monday morning to see what was going on and immediately our pediatrician diagnosed Isaiah with Kawasaki’s. After a series of blood work, which was traumatic in itself for our little guy, he was immediately admitted to the hospital and thus began the Week From Hell.
The primary treatment for Kawasaki’s is an immunoglobulin IV drip for 12 hours and a echocardiogram to check for swelling of the of the arteries pushing blood to and from the heart.
We spent a few nights in the hospital watching and monitoring his status. Isaiah did have an unfortunate relapse of a fever that caused everyone, especially him, a great deal of stress.
After close observation, and a successful extended treatment. We were finally given a clean bill of health and allowed to bring Isaiah home early Saturday afternoon. As I write this post, I am happy to say that we spent the majority of the day Saturday playing, eating, and laughing. He’s back to his normal self of swinging Star Wars Light Sabers and watching Ben-10 cartoons.
Jen and I want to personally say thank you to everyone who has sent a word of encouragement, a quick prayer, a thoughtful text message, or who stopped by the hospital to sit for a moment. I, as many of you know, am a pretty private and sentimental person and didn’t speak too much outside of our immediate circle, but I must say that my new Online Extended Family has won a special place in my heart….thank you !
The nurses and doctors that worked with us were fantastic as well, and we owe them, and you our friends and family, our deepest gratitude.
As you all know Jordan is playing soccer again this year. I am not coaching this time because my work schedule isn’t as flexible now as it was when I was still at HP.
She’s got a pretty good team, as I write this they’ve played 4 games and have won all of them.
I’m going to post pictures after each game to the photo gallery.
To check out the current photos just click on the picture to the right.
Our little guy is 4 years old today.
Jen and I are two of the luckiest parents in the world with such beautiful kids.
Happy Birthday Isaiah !
Also, thank you very much to all that were able to attend the party at Nanny’s house. The photos from that day are posted here.
