Holiday Pictures

It's 8 a.m. and Isabella is sleeping in today. So I have finally had the chance to sit down and write in my blog. It's been a whirlwind of activities in the last couple months. In November we moved to our new home. It's strange being a homeowner now. My mother came to visit during the move. She helped take care of Isabella while we packed, moved, then unpacked. Her help was a Godsent. I don't know how other people with babies move at all.

For Thanksgiving we went to Luigi's brother John's house out in Clear Lake. It takes about two hours to get to his house from ours. We enjoyed great food and company. Isabella enjoyed spending time with someone her own age. John's stepson has two sons. One of them was a two year old, and the other was 8 months. So Isabella got to crawl around and play with someone her own age.

Lynne came over last weekend and we decided to take some family photos. Unfortunately, Isabella had another idea. It was close to nap time, so she was a little restless. We snapped a few before she got really fussy.

This weekend, we went to see Santa Claus. It was Isabella's first time and I was thinking that she would probably scream her head off. However, we were pleasantly surpised that she didn't cry or even get uncomfortable. She actually smiled for the picture. What you don't see in the picture is her daddy and mommy acting crazy in the background, trying to get her to smile.

Well that's it for the latest update. Until next time.



A few casual shots before the real ones.
