This story is significant because our niece, Nina, the second oldest of my brother's children, had allowed the traditional age of child bearing to pass and, by all accounts, was not anticipating a baby in the family. As it happened, at the age of 45, she went to the doctor for a regular checkup and, in the process, found out that Isabel was waiting to be born. Naturally, because of the "un-expectedness" of it all, the event became the talk of the de Chaves clan. Isabel was finally born on January 25, 2004 and what follows is basically a pictorial of her growing up process in reverse order, i.e., the most recent photos posted at the top. The idea is to keep adding as more pictures become available from the "official photographer": my brother.
