The Calls

Reed and I have seen many blessings in our marriage. We have been challenged but with every challenge came a greater understanding of our Father in Heaven and His hand in our lives.

When Reed and I discovered that having our own children wasn't in the cards for us, we immediately considered adoption. Just seven weeks from our first investigative phone call we had our little boy in our home. It was providence. As we held that little guy in our arms we knew that the name we had chosen was perfect. We named him after Vosco Call and my Daddy, Neal Isaacson. Both of those names hold strength, power and integrity behind them.

As new parents, we wanted to give our baby the best life we could. We wanted his name to be a constant reminder of the qualities we hoped to instill in his life. Love of art, literature, nature, creativity, education, integrity, honesty, fabulous work ethic, honor and diligence are just a few of the traits we admire in these men we named him for.

Vosco and Ruth Call have been cornerstones in theatre forever! We have known and loved them for nearly 20 years. This last summer I had the opportunity to work with their son, Richard in a production of "Chaps" at the Old Lyric Repertory Company in Logan.

Right now, Richard is fighting a new fight. Cancer. Although they live in Burley, Idaho his treatments have to happen down here in Salt Lake City. We are honored to have Richard and Sayda stay with us during his treatment. I wish everyone could see the love these two have for each other and their family. It emanates from them in a tangible way. Our whole family has been blessed beyond description having them in our home.

Yesterday Sayda made dinner for us. Who knew that enchiladas could be THE BEST FOOD ON EARTH???? Oh....... My..... Goodness! I was SO sad to see the last of them disappear as I ate them for lunch....

I just wanted to say, "Thank You" to Richard and Sayda. The spirit they bring into our home is something our little family will cherish forever. We love you two!
