Watching Isaac in action ....



This picture.

This picture fills my mama heart like no other.  It is all about our #parentinggoals .... we have always been so hopeful and intentional that we would raise kind, good humans to set out into the world.  They won't be with us forever ... and this picture just nailed it for me this weekend.

The group on the right are all Isaac's friends ... we really try to encourage the staff during camp to not gather like this because it makes campers feel excluded and potentially awkward.  But when you are a teenager, of course this is the best gathering - hanging with your friends!!  (We just try to get them to meet like this where other campers aren't) .... but here is Isaac.  He sees a camper who is a bit of a loner ... he had this interesting card game in front of him.  Isaac saw him on his own, and sat down and asked him to teach him this new game.

He is so good at finding the outliers and sitting down with them ....  pretty proud ....may he keep this trait forever and always have the eyes to see people who need a connection and a smile.
