So, I haven't had much time to write lately, so I figured I'd do a last few weeks' re-cap in pictures.
Bella, as you may not know, started soccer. She's really enjoying herself. Isabella is naturally athletic and graceful, and it's a delight to watch her run up and down the field. Her last game she had a line drive down the center, and was only stopped when she tried to make a goal. Here's the beginning of that line drive:
And here's her face, after her line-drive down the field,immediately after getting stopped at the goal. That's the face of a child with everyone cheering their name:
Grammy had fun watching Bella play:
After the game, Bella was really proud of herself:
And after soccer, we went to the playground (incidentally, where she plays soccer is the elementary school that I spent K-6th). Here are some fun playground shots (this is my not so subtle way of including some shots of Sofia):
We also went to Madison's fourth birthday this weekend. It was an Ariel party, which was fun, I let the girl's wear their Halloween costumes early. Ariel is Sofia's favorite princess, and Isabella decided to be Mulan (even though Aurora is her favorite princess -- this is going to go down in history as one of my dullest blog posts ever). Sorry folks. I told you, I'm busy. =)
(you can also see Bella's new glasses in this shot, which I love. These are the best glasses she's ever had - most flattering, stay on her face well, etc., etc)
Okay, I promise a meaty post soon. I've been thinking a lot lately; deep thoughts, a la Jack Handy. =) Actually, I have been thinking a lot, but I haven't had time to get it down, so hopefully soon...
Those are great shots, Kel. Those ones of Bella playing soccer are awesome too. I really loved cheering her name after her little breakaway and seeing that big smile on her face as we all yelled for her!

That last picture of Sofia and the balloons is just PERFECT! That's one for the frame!! Bella's new glasses ARE very flattering. She looks so much older in them. Tell her congrats on her soccer game. I went ahead and chanted BELLA! BELLA! while looking at the first few pics. She's so adorable. They both really are.
Hope you are feeling better. Take care. And the post wasn't boring. I like these type of posts. :)

So not a boring post, this is my favorite kind. I love the pictures...all of them, but the one with the balloons is unbelievable. I love Bella's new glasses, very Ralph Lauren.

Balloons and princess = priceless.

I love the balloon/princess picture. Also love the framing of the shots of Bella after the game. You are so. good.
Hope the ability to post indicates the ability to sit for a while at the computer. Praying you are feeling better,

I cant believe how "Big-girl" Sophia looks. They are growing up so fast.

Kelly, I love these shots. I sent you an email a couple of day ago asking permission to post the last one with credit to you. Is that possible?
