February 2025

First off, my apologies that it has been so long since our last post! It’s been quite a year. Izzy has grown quite a bit. She is now 5’1″ tall and over 100 pounds! She passed her mom in height this year and loves that fact! She started middle school in September and has kept […]

December 2023

Our apologies that it’s been almost a full year since we updated. We hope that you are all well. Isabella’s life is extremely full which has kept us all busy this year! A bit of an update… Izzy, as she likes to be called, turned ten this summer and she has been growing very quickly. […]

November 2022

First off, I am sorry it has been so long since our last update. Life has been quite full and I have been meaning to sit down and make this post for months now and, well, here we are! Thank you Rachel for the beautiful letter you sent us last fall along with the pictures […]

Letters and Necklace

So sorry for not posting sooner. We received your letters and gift for Isabella. What beautiful and thoughtful letters! Isabella LOVED the necklace! I am posting a picture here of her wearing it.

Quarantined

What an insane year 2020 has been so far! We hope you all have been healthy and are getting through 2020 as best as possible! Isabella got a new puppy named Princess which has helped keep her busy during the quarantine.

P.O. Box & New Pictures

Rachel- I am SO sorry that I am only now getting this address to you. In December, shortly after we got your message I ended up getting pneumonia really seriously and was pretty much out of commission for close to a month. After that it just completely slipped my mind until just recently. Please forgive […]

Summer/Fall 2019

Isabella continues to be the most amazing part of our lives and we comment regularly about how lucky we are to have her. She has such a wonderful personality… funny, curious, quirky, and independent. She has lots of interests and treats everyday as a new adventure. At our parent-teacher conference her teachers told us that […]

Winter/Spring 2019

Isabella is doing really wonderful. She loves kindergarten. One day this winter when she was sick she asked us to call her teachers and tell them not to teach anything new because she didn’t want to miss learning anything (LOL)! Her teachers love her too. At both her fall and spring parent-teacher conferences they raved […]
