Santa came early this year-----10 months ago today.....


No I haven't lost it amid the stress and happiness of this Christmas season. But, Santa did come early this year. On February 23 at about 2am in the morning we walked into our home with Isabella. Santa musta played a little part of that, :) That was 10 months ago.

Not only has Isabella grown, but Keith and I have too. We didn't know that we could love another person quite as much as we do Isabella. She makes up just feel warm all over with the things that she does and the way she expresses herself. Now....she does have her moments.....and I will leave it at that...lol

We are so blessed this year to have such a wonderful addition to our family. To see that sparkle in her eyes when she sees Santa or a Snowman or a Reindeer, just can't be explained. Or, to hear her say, 'hey mama', when I walk into her room. Isabella has truly helped us to see the meaning of Christmas through the eyes of a child.

1 Year 'Blog' Anniversary

Wow...hard to believe....I started this blog, 1 year ago today. Time is just flying by. In just a few days, the 23rd, Isabella will have been home with us for 10 months. And omg!!! Bella is turning into a 'little girl'. She repeats nearly everything we say and wants to do everything for herself. And now her first Christmas with us. We are soooooooo excited. She is all into saying 'HO, HO, HO'. And we can't wait for her to get her goodies from Santa. Keith has been traveling quite a bit and won't be in until the 23rd. Thank goodness, he will get to put all of the toys together. I has to do all of the decorations, inside and out, for the new house. Many more than the one we moved out of.

More to come....let the Christmas celebrations begin!!!!!!
