Beck and Stella were very excited to meet their new cousin, Baby Isaac. (All of the little ones call Isaac "Baby Isaac." It is his rightful name and position in the family, after all.) Aunt Sarah tells us that Stella talked a lot about Isaac in Kansas--she couldn't wait to hold him. Stella and Isaac spent a lot of time together while the Malinowskis were here, and boy did Stella love to play with Isaac, rub his head and make him smile. He enjoyed her attention, too!
It's tough being so far away from family, made even more difficult by having our own little one. Of course we want Isaac to grow up knowing his cousins and grandparents, aunts and uncles like we did as kids. And it broke my heart when we had to say goodbye to everyone as they left for Kansas (Stella was so, so sad that she had to leave), but we have made a life for ourselves here, in Colorado. In fact, if all goes as planned, we'll be moving into our new house in Louisville before too long. We sunk our roots here years ago, and Colorado is the place we call home.
For now, we'll just have to settle for frequent trips to Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas. And hopefully the family will make more trips to Colorado to visit us, too. From here on out we'll even have the space to house everyone. Finally! And, I'm still holding out hope that the families will all move to us. Colorado is such a lovely place to live, don't you agree?
