Ice Skating Birthday

It's hard to believe, but it is that time of year again ..... when candles are lit and songs sung, presents wrapped and hid away for that glowing moment when a life well lived is celebrated and cherished.

Isabelle celebrated an early birthday today at the ice skating rink with a variety of friends. She had a lovely time and was able to skate with ease today in spite of dropping a crock pot on the top of her foot yesterday :-)

It took quite a bit to get these inexperienced skaters in one spot and still for a picture!

But it was finally completed. We had friends and siblings ranging in age from 17 to 5. Isabelle loves them all and is so good at making everyone feel special. She is an amazing young lady and I am privileged to be her Mama.

Happy birthday sweet heart! We love to make you smile . . . . only two more days until she is ten years old. I'm holding on to this single digit with bittersweet brevity. What an amazing thing parenthood is. I stand in awe. To God be all the glory.

What a wonderful group of friends to share her special celebration. We had such a great time sharing her day last year. Tell her "Happy Birthday!" from the Price Family!!

I'm thinking of holding you, walking the floor whispering in your ear, to get you to sleep. Teaparties, learning to sew doll clothes, and playing make believe in the castle (everyone thought it was just part of the swing set) are just a few of the memories. Now you're a young lady and we get to make new memories. Can't wait. Happy Birthday!!
Love you.
