Year of the Brownie

To celebrate Justin's birthday I took him to a Browns game this afternoon - Tora helped me get tickets and they were ridiculous! We were in the club level (the only way to watch a football game in my small snooty opinion) and it was one of Ohio's few sunny days. It was perfect autumn weather, not too hot not too cold, and Tora babysat Bella so we got a chance to cheer loudly, high-five complete strangers, and just spend time together. At the end of the day the Brownies blew a 17 point lead and we lost - but I'm almost used to the comical sigh of frustration that comes with being a fan of Cleveland's sports teams...

Happy Birthday J!

Lesson Learned

...so we learned today that Daylight Savings isn't nearly as exciting with a 6 month old - that extra hour gets you nowhere except the rocking chair praying she'll go back to sleep.

God is love, Rev Run

Happy Halloween!

It's our little Bella Bug!

for the first time ever, I see a little bit of me in Bella, it's pretty cool! ...and why wouldn't she be eating her dress?!

family fun

Bella's started talking a lot more often - usually right before she needs to eat - and it's cracking us up! She always senses the camera though and turns it off before we get a chance to catch the action on film, but this is decent...

Here J is showing Bella how to do all the stereotypical ridiculous dances - and not doing it very well at all. haha, I love my little family!!

Hello from Isabella! We spent Saturday afternoon in the cooler weather at a local apple tree farm taking pictures and picking out apple pies and buying some of the best apple butter quite possible in the world... a really good day!
