We celebrated Isabelle’s 4th birthday the day before we left for China. I knew things would be so crazy, we’d be so jetlagged and everyone would be so focused on Shepherd once we got home that it would be best to let her be the star before our trip. We all had so much fun celebrating together at my sister’s house, so much excitement and anticipation filled the air! Isabelle, who has come SO far from her shy and introverted days, LOVED all the attention, and all the gifts! Her favorite was a microphone that also plays music… now we can hear MORE of Isabelle 😉
I had these pictures on my compact flash here with me, and I’ve poured over them many times, just admiring the beautiful faces of my sweet children. How I love them so!!
We are missing you today especially, precious Isabelle! How blessed we are to have you as our daughter for three amazing years 🙂 Happy Happy Birthday!!
Sending you lots and lots of love,
Mama and Baba
I just love this blog, what beautiful pics!
Happy, Happy Birthday Isabelle!!
We hope you have a great birthday and a wonderful year to come.
Lots of Love,
Uncle Brian, Aunt Denise, Noah & Kade

Happy 4th Birthday Isabelle! May God bless you. You share your birthday with another precious girl from China, our daughter Sarah. How fun to know someone else with the same birthday! Looks like the party was a lot of fun.
I enjoyed following along on your journey to Sheperd. What a joy to see the smiles and giggles from him. You’ll be in our prayers as you transition to life back at home with the whole family, and for Sheperd’s medical care.
