Isabelle Marie Beach's Young Women's Welcoming!!

Isabelle Marie Beach was born on July 9, 2002. She was actually born on my grandmother Lois' birthday. She has some Native American in her line, so we called her our Indian baby when she was born. That and she has always had a natural tan from birth on, just like her Grandma Lois. I remember feeling so excited to have a daughter! I couldn't wait to put little pigtails in her hair and a baby bracelet on her wrist. Isabelle was a very sweet little girl. I have, throughout her life, referred to her as, "my child that makes life easy". From at least the age of two, she has always been neat, organized and orderly. I feel that those traits have greatly influenced her life throughout her childhood. This shows in her school work, as she has done exceptionally well academically. She has been in many gifted programs and has so far only received one "B" in her entire life. She works hard all on her own and never has to be asked to do her homework. She is also the most helpful at home when comes to staying on schedule and picking up around the house. She is developing more patient attributes by sharing a room with her two younger sisters since we moved to Minnesota. She is always sweet about not really mentioning the many times she has picked up after Katie and Abigail or helped them get ready in the morning before school when they have decided to be sleep in without giving me notice. Isabelle has always been an avid reader. She has been reading chapter books since Kindergarten. When she has down time she is usually reading a book during the winter months in particular. She is also great at snowboarding and hiking around in the snow. In the summer time, Isabelle is my outside girl. She is the biggest outdoor lover of the family. She loves to go to the lake, hiking, building forts, biking and exploring for fun. I love this this adventurous quality about Isabelle. She is so fun!! Isabelle is a very social girl and loves her friends! She has the best attitude for being cheerful and reaching out to others. She never leaves anyone else and shows a lot of compassion to those around her. It is no wonder because she is such a fun person to be around. She has many dreams and aspirations just waiting to be shared. Some of her dreams include simple things, like planning a trip to the beach with four of her favorite friends for a picnic. She also wants to become a teacher when she gets older. It is easy for me, as her mother, to see how wonderful she would be at that since she has a high patient level with younger kids. She plans on moving back to Arizona someday to go to college. She has many wishes and ideas and I know as she grows up and dreams big she will have the opportunity to choose to do some of those. I love her and I am privileged to be her Mother. Happy 12th year up and coming, Isabelle Marie Beach.
