"Scraps"

Meet Scraps, a toy that Ron literally made from poplar scraps.  Too cute. Bella just loves him!

This year's entry in the fair...

Ron made this cute little dachshund for Isabella.  "Scooter" took 2nd place at the fair.  Bella just loves it!

October 12, 2010 - Angela is engaged!

On Tuesday, October 12th, Ray received a phone call from Angela's boyfriend, Tim Butterfield, asking for Ray's blessing to ask Ang to marry him.  With no hesitation, Ray responded that he had no problem with that.  Later that evening, we received a call from a very excited Angie who was calling to let us know that she said "Yes"!  We really like Tim and wish the very best for both of them.  Stay tuned for more wedding news as plans unfold.

Isabella loves the toy that Great-grandma brought her in August!

She loves to "dance" to the music as it plays and particularly loves it while she's enjoying her lunch or a snack. (Here, she is having a little snack of Gerber Graduate Lil' Crunchies after an afternoon nap.)  Play the video for a peek!

Labor Day 2010 - A trip to the zoo with Isabella.



Bella fed the giraffe some lettuce!



The kangaroos are part of a new exhibit at the zoo.  The zoo has added a "walk around" in the exhibit; the visitors and kangarros are in the same enclosure - no fences to separate them from the visitors.  Fun!

August 29, 2010 - Bella graduated to "forward facing" in her car seat!

What a momentus occasion!

This commercial somehow reminds me of Dad and really tickles Ray and I. Too cute!
