Ladies and gentlemen, we have an adult!

 18 years ago I became a mom for the first time. The labor and delivery was not fun, but everything here after has been amazing.  Izzy became the light of our lives and so many others.  She was sweet, kind, creative, cuddly and bright.  She has continued to be all of those things and more.  You can still find her spending her days cuddled up in her bedroom reading a book, unless she is hanging out with friends which has become one of her favorite things to do!  She is starting her senior year of tennis with Reese and loving every minute of it. She and her friends ventured out on their own this spring break and explored San Francisco.  I was a little worried, but not about her and her choices, just about the big scary world around her.  They did amazing, and had a great time.  She is definitely ready to explore her independence and is now tasked with making the difficult choice of where she is going to attend college.  We know that no matter where she chooses to go she is going to grow and learn and have new experiences, good and bad.  We are looking forward to this next chapter of her life, while also mourning the little girl that came with a vengeance 18 years ago.  WE love you so much Izzy and can't wait to see what comes next. Happy trip around the sun our little peanut!
