A Puppy & Long Beautiful Hair

So about a month ago we got a new puppy. His name is Winston, a cairn terrier, and he is getting along very well with our family. Mark has him trained to sit, stay, lay down and roll over. Very good for a 12 week old, he's also pretty well house trained, so I guess we'll keep the little rascal.

So Isabelle has always had plenty of beautiful curly hair. A month ago we could only put two little piggys on top of her head. Now her hair is long enough for lower full proper piggy tails and she is so proud, or I am so proud!

Here comes the Easter Bunny!

So excited to see what all the fuss is about!
Both of my babies look great in yellow
Now what is this thing on my head?
I can't wait to watch this bunny movie!

Birthday Girl!

Isabelle had a great time at her Birthday but of course she paid more attention to the cards than the presents, it must be that they resemble books, which are her absolute favorite !

So she didn't know what to make of that candle, but as soon as it was out and the cake was in reach the feeding frenzy insued.

She almost ate all the icing, did not touch the actual cake and ate every last blueberry!

We had her party the week before her actual birthday and the three of us visited the Zoo on the 11th. She had a lot of fun watching all the other kids and decided at some point not to let go of her juice sippy cup until she had finished the whole thing.
Here is a picture of Isabelle at her dancing station, she really has some cute little moves!

Enough Snow for Frosty!

It rarely snows this much in N.C. so we just had to get bundled up to go play outside.

Isabelle required a few extra layers!

Here is Isabelle and her first Frosty, he had holly berries for a smile, a holly leaf for a nose, blueberry eyes & buttons and twiggy arms. We loved frosty and were very glad that Daddy came home early to play!

Christmas

I I feel the need to share some Christmas photos. The fact that I'm nearly a month late in doing so implies that Isabelle has kept us very busy. Enjoy!

First Snow

A few days after the previous post Isabelle and I went back to the park with a couple friends of ours.

The temperature was around 40dregrees F which is apparently cold enough for light flurries, very light flurries. Really it was just the odd snow flake or two.

This was Isabelle's first time ever seeing snow.

Little Bear's Walk in the Park

I'm glad we decided that Isabelle needed a full body bunting. Sunday was cold for NC and we went out for some fresh air and a nice walk at our favorite park. Ok It's the only one we've visited but soon you see why.

There is a two mile paved path around the lake as well as several athletic fields, tennis courts a couple beach volleyball courts and two really nice playgrounds. Plus restroom facilities and covered picnic shelters.

Such a lovely day the sun was beginning to set, I think photographers call it the magic hour or something, right Holly?

Her first real swing ride, such fun!
