Isabella turned 4 in May!! I can not believe how fast this precious time is flying. She is such a joy in our lives and has taught us so much about life. Being a parent is one of those sacred opportunities that no one can prepare you for, or explain the meaning and impact it will have on your life. Because there are no words strong enough to explain the emotions that surround it. She is our joy, laughter, frustration, education, strength and love. Everyday is a new adventure with her that teaches me so much about her and about myself. I am grateful everyday for the blessing I have of being her mother.
