Isaac is Home!

We got the call at about 4:30 on Friday that they had made it back to US soil and were in McAllen, Tx. The bus got into Austin about 10:30 pm and we were so glad to see Isaac! That seemed like the longest week!
Kole could hardly contain himself! He had missed his brother so much. All week, if he saw a picture of Isaac or when we talked about him, Kole's eyes would fill up with tears and he would say "I miss Isaac".

Isaac had a wonderful time in Mexico. He painted, built bunk beds and played soccer with the kids. He made two friends from the church and bonded through buying each other Cokes! He also really enjoyed being with the kids from Tri-City and said it really makes him want to be back in MO going to school there.

I think he'll be fine here in Texas, too! Saturday he spent the day with some friends of his at "Austin Park and Pizza," which has bumper boats, race cars, putt-putt golf, batting cages, lazer tag and indoor games. While he was there, he recognized two local celebrities. The first one was D.J. Augustin, who is a Longhorn basketball player. Isaac asked for his autograph. The second was Derrick Johnson, a former Longhorn football player who now plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. Isaac went up to him and told him he used to live in Independence, MO and is a Chiefs fan. He also got his autograph.

On another subject concerning Isaac, he had 3 moles removed yesterday to be biopsied. We should get the results in a week. Because of my history with skin cancer, I am very cautious with moles. These were all very small but had some color variations. We are praying that these will be normal moles.
