Nine is Fine!!!
I can’t believe we have a NINE year old. It’s so cliche but the saying “The days are long, but the years are short” has never felt more true than this day. It feels like yesterday that we were bumbling our way through the intricacies of caring for a newborn. And then just like that we have a beautiful, funny, clever, kind-hearted nine year old only one more year away from double-digits…. (insert ALL the crying eye, and bursting heart emojis right here).
Isla decided she wanted to go to invite a couple friends and go to Starbucks, the Alamo for a movie and dinner, and then back to our house to sleepover.
Isla’s actual birthday was Sunday, a couple days after this sleepover, so of course we had to celebrate that day as well. We started the day at Shipleys and ended at Lupe Tortillas.
Finally, we ended the day with Isla reading Holden his bedtime story. She was dying to read him a book that she had bought for him with money we had given her to spend at the Book Fair however she wanted…. If only I could figure out how to insert emojis on a PC…. There would be quite a few right here!
We love you so much sweet Isla and are immensely proud of the amazing person that you are growing into. We can’t wait to see what you do! Happy Birthday baby girl!
