Tribute to My Favorite Oldest Daughter

Issy's birthday was Friday, and though I started a blog entry for that day, I never got to finish it for all the celebrating. So, she is now 12 years old - almost a teenager! I can't believe it! She is one of the coolest 12 year olds I know, though I may be a wee bit biased. I am so proud of how creative and talented she is, with all of her art and music. And I've always admired how laid back she is. She just doesn't let hardly anything get under her skin! She most definitely does not take after me in that regard, as I tend to get steamed up over everything. She is so smart and works hard for her accomplishments.

Happy birthday to my favorite oldest daughter!!
