Officially 10!!!

Today is July 16, 2010... Happy 10th Birthday Isabella!

Isabella turned 10 years old today and my heart is so full. Tears fill my eyes at how quickly time passes. It seems like yesterday when Tyler and I were living at Sundance with a closet full of tiny pink clothes, and lots of anticipation. Then, magic happened and our entire world changed... We became parents! If was a time of bliss with our new black-eyed baby girl, Isabella. (Of course we had no idea what parenthood really entailed).

It was a fairytale time.

Last night, Isabella told us that she did not want to turn ten. She didn't want to grow up and that she wanted to stay our little girl forever. Of course I had to fight back tears. Isabella, you are always our "little girl" and we love you.

Make a WISH!!!

Francesca, Finn, and Cecily were so happy for Isabella!

They're all just wonderful.

Wishes Do Come True!!!

Isabella got a cell phone!!! She was sooooo excited!!!

Later that day Isabella had her birthday swimming party!

It is so much fun to see her with all of her friends.

They all just laugh and laugh.

Happy Birthday Isabella!
