Isabel Lee Richardson!!!!
We are in Utah right now and Megan and Laurel are asking me to post a new picture on our blog. Obviously, I was talked into this blog thing and I admit that I am not a good person for this. But I do love, love, love to read my children's blogs. Anyway, we are having a wonderful time here and it is simply not fair that these people whom I love so much (Alicia and Blaine, Scott and Megan, Laurel and Jason, Michelle and Brad), live so far away from me. And what a fantastic bonus to see our beautiful Isabel again and to recognize how much she has grown. She is so much fun to play with. Babies are precious and heaven-sent and that is their bonus. But when they grow to be this age and into toddlerhood, they are so much more interesting to me and that becomes my bonus. I adore her and love to see my little girl Laurel turned into the mother of my new little girl Isabel. So...we officially checked Brett into BYU yesterday and he is very excited to begin life as a freshman. I love him so much and am sad to let him go. But he is ready and so very ready to rock and roll. Dave, Matt, and I will have a new life in Camas without Brett. And I guess that I am lucky that I am still happy with the family that I have left because, yes, I love them too. Lee life. Good life.
