Loving Life!

We had a lot of fun dressing the kids up on Halloween! Unfortunately, we forgot our camera at my brother-in-law's apartment so we don't have any pics of the kids in their costumes! I will have to put them in their costumes this week & take pictures! Kyle was a Star Wars Clone Commander & Isabella was a little Mouse!

On Halloween Afternoon we visited with my brother-in-law John & my future sister-in-law Kim. John & Kim recently moved into their first apartment together - located about 10 minutes away from us :) They're engaged - due to get married on 10/10/10! (their apt number is also 10..weird, huh?) During our visit we met some of Kim's family - all extremely nice, fun people!

Here's Kim holding Bella. I think Bella weighs more than Kim now..

I couldn't resist buying Isabella this "Baby's 1st Halloween" outfit!


Last week Isabella caught her first cold :( She was super congested & just looked terrible.her whole face seemed swollen - especially around her eyes, which watered constantly! That being said, her personality never changed - she was still pretty happy - lots of smiles. She even smiled whenever I would clean her nose with saline..weird baby! Kyle felt bad that his little sister wasn't feeling well, so he actually paid attention to her here & there..







Such a good big brother!

Sick or not, she's still a pretty girl :)

Kyle spent some time playing with his kitchen. He seems to like cooking. Must get that from Grampy B & Nana V!

Isabella absolutely LOVES Kyle & smiles whenever he's around!

Isabella's looks are changing rapidly. I have to say, I think she is looking a lot like Jim lately!!

She loves hanging out in her playpen & looking at the blue hippos!


She found her voice the other day & decided to have a little conversation with Jim. Of course I got it on video! The 2nd video is just of her playing with her favorite blue friends..!
