Happy Birthday, Isak!

Eight years ago, on this day, it rained in Borås, Sweden when little Isak made his entrance into the world in the early evening after some 50 hours of labor (contractions began on July 3rd while Mom, Dad and Aunt were at the movies in Alingsås watching Attack of the Clones - Isak must have been a Star Wars fan even in the womb...).

It's been raining here in Oklahoma the past two days, reminding us a little of that weekend after Isak was born and the several days we spent in the hospital as brand new parents, except it was so cold in Sweden and Mark missed his fleece jacket so much he finally donned my PINK long-sleeve maternity shirt under his t-shirt.

Anyhow, no parents could ask for a better son. So glad he came to our family. <3
