A Story About Isabella

Our little Isabella. She is unbelievable! Yesterday, I was showing Alessandra some snails. Alessandra was enjoying picking them up and holding them. Billy and I left the kids get wet in the rain and as they were playing, Billy looked at Isabella and noticed she was chewing on something. (Isabella puts everything in her mouth) Anyway, in her hand was a shell, yes, just a shell of a snail. So, you can guess what she was chewing on... You got it! Yes, a snail!!!! As Billy was trying to get the mush out of her mouth, he had to pound on her back because she was choking on the slime. She was still gripping the shell in her hand! She did not seem to mind the taste of the snail, but she was mad that Daddy was getting it out of her mouth!

Picture Time

Can you believe Alessandra took this picture of me? She loves using the camera, but she does not always aim right - there are plenty of pictures of the floor and random things, but she actually got me.

Frog Anyone?

Alessandra loves looking for frogs. One evening we had about 5 frogs hopping around. Alessandra loved it! She loves chasing the frogs to pick them up. The frogs did hop away once she left them go, but who knows how long they lived afterwards!


She still does not always want to give up that nukie! One day, they just might find their way into the trash can!

Trying on Hats

Alessandra and Daddy are having fun wearing hats.

Easter Carolina Agricultural Fair

We went to the fair on Saturday. Alessandra enjoyed holding the real money - not a stuffed animal! We all had lots of fun on the rides, looking at all the animals, and going to the petting zoo.

The Petting Zoo

Here is the petting zoo. They had some strange animals there that I think were untypical of a Petting Zoo, but the girls loved looking at them...so did Billy and I.

Fun Rides

Alessandra had so much fun on the rides. Alessandra and Daddy went on so many rides together. Daddy actually started to feel sick in the stomach because of all the rides. Alessandra went from ride to ride. Isabella wanted to go on all the rides Alessandra went on. We did take her on this one ride and felt so bad afterwards because Isabella got so scared. She had the look of terror on her face, gripped the lap rail with hands so hard her nail beds turned white...she did not cry the whole ride, but had the look of relief when the ride stopped. I was almost in tears by the time the ride stopped because of how scared Isabella was.

Sleeping Beauties

We wore the girls out after the fair. They had so much fun and fell asleep in record time (had to be less than a minute!)

Girls Playing

Yes, it has been too long since I posted some pics of the girls. They are growing so fast. Isabella is now walking instead of crawling. Alessandra is trying to keep all her stuff out of Isabella's mouth...everything ends up in Isabella's mouth!!!
