Isabel turned 5 in Poland. We had a fun time celebrating her birthday. We went to the Bakery and bought her a cake that was shaped like a star. She had told us that she "wanted the things that cover the ears to keep them warm." So we found these "things" and she loves her white furry earmuffs!

Isabel is a fun girl.  At five years old she is learning to read and write.  She has big beautiful eyes, that are the darkest brown I have ever seen.  She loves to dress up like a princess and dance and sing.  She is a sweet girl always willing to share her things with family and friends.  She is very outgoing and makes friends easily.  Even in Poland, she would make friends easily.  It didn't matter to her that she couldn't understand them, or they couldn't understand her.  She would smile and together they would run off and play.  She is a great big sister and loves to play with her little brothers.
