14 months with Isabella. . .

today was a really good day. not a particularly special day, just a good day. isabella put up with all the errands I dragged her around to do. . . all with a smile, except for a protest in the checkout line at tj maxx. . .
she even put up with me snapping pictures of her during her lunch.
now if only you would stop trying to touch the garbage can in the kitchen. . .
happy 14 months baby bella!

Tonight in the tub. . .

will i remember all of the little things . . .

how the water drops drip off her long eyelashes. . .

the sound of her giggles that seem to echo off the side of the tub when she splashes herself. . .

the way she reaches for me when it's time to get out . .

& the smell of her soft skin . . .

i could never forget.

Return of the missing blogger!

i've been yelled at for not posting in awhile. since the new year we've been busy getting things in order, trying to atleast. ;-) you know, all the new promises we try to make to ourselves to 'do better' this year. hmmm, i may not accomplish all of the ones that i have set for myself, i'll admit that now, but i'll get an A for effort. it's a good year so far and i continue to thank GOD for our gift. . .
