Interview with Isaac...On His 17th Birthday

This past year we have watched Isaac turn from just a teenage boy into a man.  A very big part of me wants to hold on to him for forever, but when I look at him, I no longer see my little boy.  He really is a man just biding his time...waiting for the next step in life.  

It makes me sad...but makes me glad at the same time...

Isaac turns 17 tomorrow, so of course I had to sit him down for his annual question and answer session.

You can find his past interviews here.
