Isabella started Kindergarten this week. Getting her ready for school has been an emotional journey for me. I see how ready she is to let go, but letting her go is so HARD!!! We have had a great 5 1/2 years at home together and now it is time for her to spread her wings a little. I hope and pray that I have given her the strength and self confidence to continue to succeed, even without me holding her hand every step of the way. I hope this first year of school builds a solid foundation and love for school. I hope she meets some friends that will last a lifetime. I don't have any friends from childhood, (one great one from high school), but my husband does. It is amazing to me that he has friends that he has known since he was 5 and I can barely remember being 5. Isabella will remember everything , just like her dad!!
Her teacher is Ms. Fischer and so far seems really good. We all had a good impression of her on meet the teacher night. We surprised Bella with a ice cream cake the night before school that said "We love you" on it. Dave, Vincent and myself dropped her off and picked her up on the first day. We treated ourselves to Frozen yogurt after school, since we (I) had survived. I was the only on who had any trouble that day. Enjoy the slide show of a few pictures of her on her BIG day!!

Becky,
I love looking at your entries. You do such a great job, and I always get teary-eyed with the music you select. Wish I knew how to do a computer post like you are doing.
And don't worry--Isabella will do great. I've been there (times three) and it doesn't get any easier from year to year!
Take care,
Cristi
Oh, awesome pics! IT looks like Bella was lovin' every minute of it. She is going to soar!
And, gosh, I have 1 good friend from high school too ;) I wonder who that could be ... hugs!
Emily
