Isabelle Bentley

Since Izzie ended up in the ER last weekend we needed to move her bday party to this weekend.  She had a great day with lots of family. 

Well here it is: the last first day Isabelle will ever have. She's lived every other day of the calendar once.  Isabelle's first birthday party. About 80 people came. I had a ton of help decorating and setting up from my mom, Scott;s mom & grandma. Under the sea theme. We had a paint a sand dollar station. Jack painted like 5. This is Donna - Jackson's and Isabelle's dyacare provider. Could not have lucked out more than we did with her. Isabelle looooves icing. It took like 100 hits but the pinata finally broke.  Jack also wouldn't get out of the ball pit.  <3 she is going to be the best dressed baby ever. How awesome is this cake? I know I say it all the time but we hit the jackpot with our friends and family. They have no idea how big of a support system they are to us. 

Today we went to the first ever Worcester Downs Syndrome playgroup. Met a lot of nice people and again got a lot of good advice and encouragement about the heart surgery and Boston Children's.  Then we headed to a friend's son's 1st birthday party!
