Oh ya....

For all our loyal Monday morning blog readers - you are the first to get the breaking news! :-) Pay special attention to the text on Isabelle's shirt.....As you can see from the picture Isabelle is psyched now but lets see her reaction in October!! Mom is doing well and I never thought I would buy a 42 oz bag on M&Ms in my life.....

Work before Play!

Isabelle helped Dad do some yard work!! She is a great little helper and continues to learn the importance of the "chore wheel" - we haven't introduced her to an allowance yet :-) Isabelle also discovered she has some "star" power as she chilled out in her sun glasses while saying 'hi' waving to everyone in the neighborhood!

This past weekend also brought about a lot of fun. Danny, one of Isabelle's cousins, turned 4! Nana staged a "treasure hunt" and all the little pirates searched for some "booty". Isabelle and Grace also found some fun searching for treasure in a red wagaon! Isabelle is trying to practice for Aunt Jen's wedding in July.....

Thanks, St. Paddy's and Buggies...More Shoes

A special thank to Nana and Papa for watching Isabelle for 5 whole days as Mary and I vacationed out in CA. We had the perfect amount of food, drink and rest and relaxation. Isabelle had a great time!!

Isabelle and Daddy "hamming" it up......admiring our Irish friends!

We spent this past weekend hanging out with Ricki/Ezra and Scott/Erika/Anna. Isabelle had a great time playing with Anna. The girls were racing each other in their respective buggies and laughing all the way.

A few of Isabelle's favorite things....sippy cup, tooth brush, cleaning stuff and SHOES!!

We spent some time at the playground on Sunday enjoying the 65 degree weather!! Isabelle had a blast going down the slide, running all around and throwing rocks!! Is it just me or does she look like a little teenager? We are in trouble!!

Isabelle and her shoes

Isabelle's loves her shoes!! A little glimpse of Isabelle....and her unique personality!

A weekend of family fun

We were very busy this weekend visiting with family. We went to visit Nana and Papa and were able to see tons of extended family members at Caelan's (the newest member of our family) baptism. Nana and Papa took care of Isabelle so that George and I could attned a going away party for our friends Sean and Darlene. We will miss you and Philly will never be the same when you move down there !

On Sunday we enjoyed a great walk and visit to the playground with Papa. Then we headed to Grammy and Grampy's to celebrate a belated birthday for Grampy.

We were busy, but Isabelle was great and enjoyed every minute hanging out with our families.

Dress up, Sickness, and Valentine's Day, Oh my !!

We have had a busy last few weeks. All three of us have been sick. But Spring is in the air so we are hoping that we are done with sickness for a while !! Wishful thinking.



On Friday Isabelle had a Valentine's Day party at school. It was so fun for George and I to hang out at school with Isabelle and her friends and teachers. Isabelle loves to play dress up. The above picture is her at school in her favorite dress up outfit.So along that same theme, Isabelle decided to play dress up at home with her sassy new "Cougar" coat :)Isabelle loved going through her valentine's day cards from all of her friends. She even got some candy. But she decided to share her candy with Mom and Dad :)

Mommy was very sick this weekend. So Isabelle and Daddy had to take care of her. They were great nurses. Isabelle gave mommy tons of hugs and kisses and that was just the medicine she needed to feel better. Dad was a superstar this weekend and also was a huge help to Mom !

Grammy came by for a visit and to drop off a Valentine's Day gift for Isabelle. We all went for a walk and enjoyed playing with Isabelle.

Got Pizza....and Bruins?

We had another great weekend! Isabelle had lots of fun practicing a few of her new tricks which include walking around with her pants half on, wearing pizza boxes, cheering on the Bruins, yelling "MORE" when she wants "MORE" food, and throws away her own diapers (doesn't quite change them yet but we are working on that :-). After visiting Grammy, we enjoyed a sneak peak of Spring and went for a buggy ride around the neighborhood!!
