***Updated with today’s picture below!***
Happy Birthday, dear Isabella! I’ve drafted maybe a dozen different things for this blog post, and none of them felt right. Instead, I thought I’d post a collage of pictures of Isabella that chronicles her birthdays through the years. She’s had an incredible 8 years so far on this earth and here’s hoping for many more.
Day 1! August 10, 2003
1st Birthday
2nd Birthday
3rd Birthday
4th Birthday. I’ve almost forgotten how cute she was with her pigtails!
5th Birthday. Three months later, Isabella would be sent to NYU to have a tumor removed from her head.
6th Birthday. Isabella was going through radiation treatments during her birthday.
7th Birthday. We were at Camp Sunshine during her 7th birthday, and the entire camp sang her happy birthday!
8th Birthday
