This is my first time doing just a blog...sort of my first online diary. So to begin, I am a mom to two really great little girls that are growing so fast and coming into their own like crazy!! My oldest is 7, Isabella, and she is very strong willed and opinionated (she is exactly like me!) she also has a VERY short fuse (in this way she is exactly my husband AND me). With all of that though, she is such a smart girl, she is interested in everything, she knows nearly every bone in the body (because Jon, my husband, and her do "bone school" quite often). Whenever I can find anatomy books at reasonable prices I buy them for her, and before I know it she has read it and can tell me how many bones are in the body, what a ligament is, how many muscles are in the body, etc....she absolutely amazes me and has from the moment she was born!! I babysat less than 5 times growing up, I am an only child and the youngest of all the grandkids on my dad's side, so if I can remember correctly, Isabella's was the first tiny baby I ever held and the first diaper I ever changed. I was terrified my whole pregnancy that I would have NO clue what to do with her when she came out!! By the grace of God, once I had her in my arms it was like I was finally complete. Now she is getting older and I am wondering if she is possessed now or something...because she is 7 acting like a 17 year old!! Either way, no matter what, that little girl is one of the brightest parts of my day, good or bad mood, I love her to pieces.
