First off, I apologize, it’s been too long since our last update. We are hopeful that you are all well. The world has certainly been crazy these past 15 months. Fortunately we all have our health and have been fortunate in how the pandemic has impacted us compared to others who have been harmed in so many different ways.

The past year and a half have been challenging for Isabella, though we are super proud of the way she has managed. As an only child it has been difficult for her to have much time to socialize with others kids as she was in school virtually until April and then has not been able to play with her friends outside of school very often. Still, she has made the best of it.

She is really doing well in school. She is a strong academic student, particularly in math, which is probably what she enjoys most. Her teachers have raved about how thoughtful and caring she is towards others which is probably what we are most proud of. She loves nothing more than to look for others who are struggling with things and offer a helping hand.

She has continued to take dance classes. This year she has taken tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, and her personal favorite, acro. This fall she will be returning to soccer as well, which she took the last year and a half off from. She swims in her grandparents pool nearly every day in the summer and that is probably her favorite thing to do. This summer we took a vacation to the DR and she loved getting to swim in all of the pools there.

I renewed the PO Box yesterday so should you have anything to send at any point, you can send it to PO Box 1004, Sound Beach, NY 11789.

Enjoy the pictures below. I will try to update a bit more again soon. Sending you all love and positive thoughts!
