An April Picnic in the Backyard

We've had some pretty warm days so far this Spring, so we had to take advantage of a shady spot in front of our guest house for a small picnic. As do her parents, Isabella loves to be outside and feel the wind blow.

A Few March Pics

Here are a few various pics of mom and daughter, plus our first Isabella assisted (by couch) standing picture. For those of you who haven't been to our house, yes those are bottles of laundry detergent on shelves in the background of the middle picture. We don't take laundry lightly around here.

Bella and Dad Getting Some R & R

Being Bella and Dad isn't always as easy as it looks. In fact, sometimes even we need to sit back and take a breather (Thanks Mom for all of your extended footage). It's funny how looking at yourself sleeping can actually make you tired.

Go Colts!!

Well, it almost worked... My girls were cheering hard and Belle didn't want to put that football down all night! She actually loves that football. Good luck next year boys. You've got a new big fan here in Cincy!! (Sorry Ochocinco and Bengals)

First Day of Daycare - Jan 25th

Here are my girls showing up for their first day of daycare at P&G on Jan 25th. We were all a little sad, but Belle quickly learned to love it and gets so excited every morning we drop her off. They do a great job with her!

Isabella, Which Detergent Do You Prefer?

Mom also works on Era Detergent, but it appears that Belle has made her choice. Luckily, mom happens to work for that brand. This cap appears to taste better too. Babies really do love that scent!

Indy Elson's Come to Cincy in Jan

Isabella had some grandparental company come visit back in January. She asked that we try not focus on the drool above the horse on her sweater.

Nikki, Gina, Jen & Jon Come to Cincy

Yeah, I know, it's April and these visits were all around Christmas and New Years. There is a bit of catching-up to do over here!

Nikki and Gina came to visit us (and IKEA) from Illinois in early December. We unintentionally stumbled upon this very scenic spot in Kentucky looking across the Ohio River at downtown Cincy. Jen made her trip over just after Christmas and Jon's was soon after the new year on his short trek from Raleigh, NC to Flagstaff, AZ. We loved having you all here and miss you all so much during the rest of the year.
