Finally.....another post to my blog.....

Had you given up? Wondering when I was ever going to post another blog? Well, here it is, full of pictures of you guessed it, our children:

This is our beautiful Isabella at her May dance recital. The theme was "Broadway" and she lit up the stage with her grace and beauty!

Our baby girl, Emma, with her new sunglasses ("mine gasses" - according to her)!

Isabella and Emma enjoy a field trip at the St. Stephens Fish Lift for homeschool.

Emma finds another use for the potty seat that she's not yet using - thank goodness!!!

A Really Cold Trip

Recently, the girls and I headed off to the frozen north of Canada for a quick visit. We had a great time with our friends and Canadian family there. Here are a few pics of our mini vacation.

This is beautiful Bella, with her IPOD in her ears, of course, as we travel down the road.

Here's sweet little Emma nestled in her car seat. She did really well for such a long drive!

This snow bank was in the middle of a mall parking lot (so high you couldn't see the store fronts behind it!)

This is a shot into the backyard of our friends' townhouse. The snow on the table was at least 14" high!

This is our friend Courtney with Emma! We had a great meal together and had some time to catch up! We love you Courtney!

We brought our friend Danny home with us! Emma found his shoulder to be a cozy place to rest at this visit to Tim Horton's!!!

Holiday Memories

Okay...I know. It's been almost a month since my last post. I could blame it on the holidays, but truthfully, I've just been enjoying my family. I wanted to share a few pictures with you that were taken over the season...This first picture is of Emma kissing her baby ornament on the family tree. She did this every morning without fail when she first woke up.

Nothing gave me more joy than to hang Emma's Christmas stocking on our dining room mantle this year. Just one more to hang when God gives us our son (hopefully by next year). Zoey, the poodle got her own stocking this year too!

Isabella showing off one of her presents from Aunt Robin. She just loves the group Pure NRG and this is now her "Bible bag" for church. It contains her bible, a notebook and pen to take notes, and some other goodies for my little tween!

Zoey's favorite place to sleep was underneath the warmth of the family Christmas tree lights in the dining room.

I am certainly not a professional photographer, but even my friend Nikki, who is, told me that this was a great picture. I was really proud of myself. This is our annual gingerbread house we make every year. This year's was exceptional, because Aunt Robin helped us build it!

Who says lions can't be tamed? Our Isabella can tame anything...
