Our girl is 3 years old! Oh, how the time is passing so quickly. It seems like she shouldn't be more than an infant, but here she is dancing, singing ABC's, and developing her own special personality. I was just watching her today and was thinking to myself that she is so full of life and happiness, as she is singing to Rapunzel music at 7:30 AM in the car. She brings light to everyone around here and we are so glad to have and love her. For her birthday, she wanted rainbows and a funfetti cake, so we had to deliver. Her actual birthday was on Monday, so we had a special Isla day, with all of her favorites. However, we did have to start the morning out at the Pediatritions office as she developed an ear infection over the weekend. But after the insult of going to the doctors on your birthday and having to get an unexpected flu shot, the day started to look up. We spent the morning at the park enjoying the slightly cooler weather and then ended up at Central Market for lunch and to pick out sprinkled cupcakes to share with daycare the next day. Isla LOVES tacos, so that was her supper request along with Pineapple Upside down cake, which was of course Grandma's recipe.
We planned to birthday party at Zilker park and to ride the Zilker Zepher train, for the following Sunday, however due to rain, we had to relocate to the house. Which turned out great, because what little kid cares where they are as long as they have all their closest friends there to play and celebrate with them by having donut eating competitions, makeing birthday crowns and play musical chairs with. The party was a hit and we are so glad some many of our dear friends could be here.

| The kids love waking up to a wall of pictures that are all about them. It usually ends up staying on the wall for the next 2 weeks. It's always sweet to watch Sam and Isla looking and laughing over the pictures with each other |
