Growing Up!


Ivelisse as a newborn



Ivelisse at 9 months and then 18 months


















Ivelisse now at 7 1/2!





















It amazes me sometimes how fast time has gone by. I was looking at some pictures of Ivelisse and I was amazed at how much she has grown up this year. She has a maturity and a wisdom that is amazing sometimes but then she can turn around and act like such a little girl the next minute. She is reaching that stage where she has so much to accomplish and so many plans. She wants to write a comic strip or illustrate a book. She worries about global warming one minute and the next she is playing pretend puppy with her siblings. She is concern about how she will do on her softball game and then she is in the outfield dancing around and spinning. I am afraid that it is all just going by too fast and before I know it she will be a teenager. She will be turning 8 this year. It is amazing to think that my little snuggle-bug is getting so big that I can hardly pick her up. I am cherishing every minute because if looking back is any reflection of how fast it will go in the future. It will be here in a moment!

Hey Carmen,

I was reading through all your entries and I enjoyed all the pictures. But the one of Ive is so cool! She is so beautiful! She does look very mature and thoughtful. I can't wait to see you all again! My hand friend is growing up. :-)

And hey, turning 30 is not that bad, huh? I did the short haircut, too, only I did it when Christopher was born in January. I didn't want to waith till June! ...and I only did it chin length! :-)

I miss and love you guys a bunch! Mucho amor besos y abrazos a mis hand friends, Ive & Samantha, y a ti, Jake & Zeke! Los queremo,
Coppe, Adam & Christopher
