My Isabella...there will NEVER be another like her...not even close. She is so special. I have such anticipation/wonder of what her life's journey will be.
Isabella and I can really butt heads at times and bicker back and forth like crazy. Than there are these incredible, magical moments that make you catch your breath and get on your knees and thank God for the incredible gift and honor of being this incredible being's mother.
The Friday night of Labor Day weekend we were outside with our neighbors having a fire, roasting marshmallows, and playing. The night sky grew dark and Isabella with such wonder, joy, and a heart full of purity and uncontainable excitement looked up at the sky, saw a star, and proclaimed, "Look Mom, look Mom, my angel's up in the sky! I never saw my angel before, oh I am so excited to see my angel". I could have cried...it was just such a beautiful moment. And she'd keep saying, "Oh my angel, I just knew I would see my angel" or "Mom, can I go on the trampoline and look at my angel?" and she'd sit on the trampoline, tuck her knees up to her chin and stare up at the sky, looking back occassionally and saying, "My angel is so beautiful"!
And than there was the car ride home from pre-school, where for 10 straight minutes, Isabella told me about how Jesus off the cross and into her room when she was a baby and held her. Highlights of this conversation included:
*"It was real Mom, he was there for real"
*"Than Jesus took me to be baspatized and put the water on me at the church and than we watched a Scooby Doo"
*"And Jesus told me, 'Don't be afraid Isabella'"
I don't think I'll ever forget that conversation, because there is that moment where I went, I know that Jesus was there holding her when she was a baby, ya know???? Literally or metaphorically...I guess Isabella and Jesus will only know.
Isabella also draws a lot of pictures lately where she tells me it is the angels flying into her room to visit her...again, "For real Mom, it's for real":)
When it comes down to it...this is really all I want for my girls. I could care less if they get straight A's, go to Harvard, play in the WNBA, make a million dollars, etc...I just hope that they will always feel God's love and presence in their heart and share it with others and feel a call to serve others with God's love. So these little magical moments of faith expression with Isabella are truly God's greatest gifts to me.

Both your girls are growing up to be such beautiful little people!
Cute site! Your little angel is starting her new adventure. How scary but exciting at the same time. You will get through it. My sweet Caroline started Kindergarten so I know how you feels.
Love,
