    The very first picture (and the one you used for her website) has long been my favorite. I have showed it to countless numbers of family and friends. She looks so darling, so content, so loved, so HAPPY!!!!!! What a difference a family of your own can make huh?

    All the best to you Steph! I love to hear about your family. We are on our own SN adoption journey soon enough πŸ™‚

    Something about #9… can’t put into words what it is… just love it. But it’s so hard to pick. There’s another of her I’ve always loved that wasn’t on this list… she’s in a gap hoodie or sweatshirt I think and picking a yellow dandelion, looking down at it…
    One thing I can say for certain, she is an absolutely beautiful little girl. I am blessed to share even a small part of her life just through these posts!

    I love them all, but if I had to narrow them down, I would choose #7. I like it because it seems to capture both sides of her personality — fun-loving and reflective. She seems relaxed, contented and oh-so-happy — just the way she should be. πŸ™‚
    Can’t stop loving that curly hair!!!

    Well you can’t go wrong with a naked girl on a John Deere tractor!! That one kills me! My favorites are the one of her very up close without the smile – and the 3rd from the bottom – she is laughing and looks like she is leaning on something red….those are my favs!!!!! They are all great!!!!

    Okay…if I HAVE to choose, I’ll say panda crawling one, the last one, and third from the last. All totally Isabelle and all totally gorgeous. She’s a beauty queen.

    Love, Lis

    They are all adorable, but if I had to pick, I guess it would be #9, there’s just something about it that keep catching my eye.
    Love to all,

    My favorites are 9 and 10. I love 9 because of that look of peace and security. It is so obvious she has found her forever family that will love her always!! I love 10 because of all the stories you tell about her “wild side”. She seems to be making her next plan and is keeping it all to herself!! I love following your family’s journey…you are a real inspiration to me.

    Now I’m thinking #9. YOu know what it is? I think it’s because she is REALLY looking at you. Isabelle hardly stays still long enough to REALLY look into your eyes and look so peaceful and contemplative, and I love that. But she is lovely in ALL of them. They are all beautiful of her. But that one is special.

    So hard to choose!! Isabelle is such a cutie! But, I would have to go with #9…her look is pensive, yet content and peaceful, plus she looks so beautiful!

    Kiara loved the one of Isabelle on the tractor(?…city girl here, don’t know if that’s what it is!)…she kept pointing to it & saying “Baby! Baby!” πŸ™‚

    Momo & Popo think they are all great and love having all of them to look at. She is such a beautiful girl and seems to be just getting prettier and prettier.
    Thank you for all of your hard work.
