My baby turns 16 today. I started off his day with the well-known, “Sweet 16 and never been kissed.” Cooly, he replied, “Yeah, let’s just go with that.” How can it be that the tiny baby so long ago has turned into a nearly grown man?! And just who did he kiss?! Anyhow, this is a big year for him and Emily and I are so excited to see what comes next!
Some pics with his friends from his Winter Concert last night: 
Isaac’s start was so traumatic and he has had a few problems since. Still, through it all, he has persevered and become a gentleman, a great friend to many, a fantastic musician, a fun jokster and my absolute favorite son!
I am so very proud of his accomplishments and delight in seeing his smiling face every single day! Happy Sweet 16 Isaac!
I can’t believe how you’ve grown up so fast. You are definitely my favorite grandson. The concert was beautiful last night. We were so happy to be here to hear and enjoy it. May your birthday be the best every. Love you, grandma and grandpa
Please pass on a Happy Birthday from uncle Buck and aunt Mick. There’ll be something in your email for him.
He looks so grown up! I remember when I first met Isaac, he was still a little kid. Now–he’s a good lookin’ guy.
Isaac,
You are a very accomplished young man. You are talented in so many ways, and I am proud of you! Keep up the success! Happy 16th birthday!
Mrs. Nesius
Happy Birthday Mr. Isaac.
Happy Birthday Isaac!!
I love it when you talk about your family, you are a big hunk of honey!
