Close up

We love our brown-hair blue-eyed girl!! We are so blessed and not a day goes by that we are not constantly thanking God for such a beautiful gift!!

One of the many uses of a box

Once a week, Isabella and Brian come up to school and keep me company as I get things ready for the next week. This week, they found an empty box to play in! Isabella loved it!! Doesn't this picture just make you smile and laugh?!! We are going to have so much fun with empty boxes as Isabella gets older!

Isabella working

Every Monday and Thursday, Brian works at the paper's office in Jackson (that is not far from where we live). He took Isabella to work with him Thursday, since there are few people and it is not quite as busy. Both had a great time, but Brian said once was probably enough. Isabella would roll from back to front and want daddy to come and turn her back over. She did this all day! I told Brian that she was playing a game with him-she knew he would come and interact with her if she rolled over.

It's never to early to introduce her to the computer! She loved the keys!

The Aernie's and Isabella

This picture is a great one!! We will get one to y'all soon! Love you and thanks again for the memories we made!

More NE

I loved playing with Haley! She loved showing me the new things she had gotten. Thanks for playing with us Haley. We love you!!

You guessed it! More NE

We stayed with our dear friends, the Aernie's. Anytime we travel to NE, we stay with them. Here is Nicole with Isabella and their daughter Haley. Isabella had so much fun with Haley. Each time Haley talked, she would look at her and smile. Haley enjoyed playing with her too. And so did Mike and Nicole!! We love you!!

More NE

SO much for getting all of us to look at the same camera at the same time!! Next to Isabella is Aaron and Melanie's first-Seth, Mary Elizabeth, and their youngest, John Marc next to her. We all had so much fun!!

NE continued.....

Here is Pastor Aaron with his daughter Mary Elizabeth and Isabella. I tried very hard to catch Isabella looking at the camera, but I wasn't fast enough. She looked away as I was clicking. I think it is still a cute picture!

Isabella outgrew her NE outfit, so she wore what her great aunt Alice gave her-a Minnie mousie oneise with red pants and her red shoes. This way, she was cheering for the Huskers too!!

NE continued...

The pastor of the church we were members of in NE came to visit, along with the rest of his family. Here is Melanie making Isabella smile and our dear friend Avis is sitting next to her. It was so good to see everyone and Isabella loved the attention and love that was shown to her!

More NE friends

What an adorable picture!! Thanks for coming to meet Isabellla Mary!!

First Nebraska Trip-GO BIG RED!!!

Over Labor Day, we headed to NE for the first home game and to visit our great friends there. On Saturday, there was an open house for people to coem and see us and meet Isabella. Mrs. Kathy (sorry of the spelling is wrong) loved holding her and loving on her. We also enjoyed visiting with her. Thanks for the sleeper, wipes, and diapers!! We love you!
