Isaiah is a Tiny Sparrow!

Months (and months and months) ago, through a local special needs group on facebook, I found out about this amazing organization known as The Tiny Sparrow Foundation.  They provide photos, that they call "pictures of hope", to families of children with life-threatening illnesses,  so I applied for a Picture of Hope.  

Isaiah was accepted immediately!

Through emails, they got us in contact with a local photographer, Melania Marta, who (after, what? 4 rescheduled sessions? She's a patient lady!) took some amazing photos of our little family at our local park.  Isaiah was a serious crab-monster, to the point that we ended the session early, but Melania is clearly one talented photographer because she captured some amazing moments for us.

Seriously.  She even got one of his top teeth!

We're extremely grateful for these fantastic photos! 

This past weekend we received a beautiful personalized photo book.  We will treasure it.

The timing was perfect; we were able to use two of the photos on our Christmas cards.

Thank you so much to the Tiny Sparrow Foundation and Melania Marta Photography.  You have given us a beautiful gift that we will forever love and treasure!

Super Isaiah

Last week, after water therapy, we came home to an exciting surprise package thanks to Go Shout Love partnering with the awesome Tiny Superheroes.

Once open, we read the heartwarming message.

and pulled out Isaiah's very own cape!

It's just awesome.  It has a giant "I" for Isaiah....Super Isaiah! Incredible Isaiah!

It's amazing how proud he looked just placing that cape around his neck. :)

Isaiah wasn't feeling so great right before snapping these pictures, but is better now that his third tooth has popped through the gums.

Even with tooth pain, I'd say he looks pretty super, wouldn't you?

We need to fill out a special card that came with Isaiah's cape, telling about Isaiah's super powers.  So, what are your thoughts? Isaiah has so many super powers; which should we list to go on his Superhero card?
