July 3rd Is A Special Day For The Franco's

I am posting now because I have time!! There are several things that are special about July 3rd. First off, It is my husband's birthday. So...Happy Birthday!! Birthday's are special enough in and of themselves but on John's birthday in 2005 we held Isabella for the first time! What an awesome birthday present...a beautiful daughter! Isabella you continue to amaze us and we love you more than you can ever imagine! Isabella's favorite book is "I Love You as Much" It is mothers mostly creatures describing how much they love their young. Each one starting out by saying I love you as much as....... On the last page is a mother and very young baby (humans!). Isabella says that is her and I. How I wish I had had the priveledge to hold her at such a young age! The last line of that book is " I love you as much as a mother could love". When Bella goes to bed at night she will say ..mom, I love you as much as the stars up above and then she will wait until I say....I love you as much as a mother could love. Bella has come such a long way in three years. And indeed I do love her as MUCH as a mother could love!
