Isabella

Selfie!!

I would tell you all about my kids in one single blog entry, but it's late at night. I have to finish up and get to bed before the twins decide they don't want to sleep anymore. 

This is Isabella, my oldest. Currently she loves to paint, loves writing, math, and of coarse what 5 year old doesn't love playing outside. I remember last year in Pr-K she would bring me if not 2 or 3 painting each day or some craft of some sort. I literally had nowhere to put them anymore. They were covering a section of a wall in my room, top to bottom. Then I started collecting them in a folder and would take old pieces off the wall and put new ones up and save the old ones in the folder. But I'm glad I did that and this year I'll do the same if I have to. My mother never really saved anything from all my years in school. Though at this point I don't really mind, I wish I'd have something to show my kids of things I had made.

Sometimes I feel bad because I'm so caught up with the twins and Jaden that I hardly have the time or energy to do anything with her anymore. Plus it doesn't help at all that we live with my mother in law and brother in law and his family, all in one house... Thankfully its temporary. In a few months we'll have our own place. Then I'll have more space and won't be so stressed out and frustrated all the time, which will allow me to spend more quality time with this precious angel.

You may be getting older everyday, but in my eyes your still my little baby girl. I know the new babies take a lot of my time up but that doesn't mean I forget you or that I don't think about you just as much everyday. When I look into your eyes I see that little 7lb 6oz baby I held 5 years ago just looking up at me into my eyes not knowing anything about the world. I see that and so much more, I see the wonderful caring little girl I've raised. I'm proud to be your mom, but I'm even prouder to call you my daughter.
