A Family Visit From Washington State

Well, the Field Grandma and Grandpa, Bartlow Great Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Jenny all came for a hot visit to Virginia. They drove the 46 hours straight to get here. I say, they are CRAZY! But, it is a whole lot cheaper than plane tickets. It was fun having them here to see Isabella at this age. She had a great time playing with her peeps, as you can see below. Getting her to sit still is a challenge, but Poppy managed to do it quite nicely. More pictures to come...

Magazines, magazines and more magazines

Yes, I know what you are thinking..."What in the world does she have all of those magazines for?" Well, let me explain. I have this problem about keeping magazines. I like to go back to the previous year and look at the months magazine. For example, my Martha Stewart magazines have great tips and ideas for Thanksgiving and many other holidays, so I always keep the holiday ones and when that time rolls around the next year, I look back to see what she suggested last year. Well, Chris is tired of my many stacks of magazines, okay, I am too. So, I decided to whip through these so called stacks and rip out the pages I think I need or will reference in the future. Well, my darling little helper decided she'd help too:) So, as I was discarding them, she would rip them to shreds and laughing the entire time. I have created a monster! And yes, this is about as much fun as we have in our house. I know you are jealous.

On the way home from Idaho

Here are some pictures of our trip back from Idaho. We made a pit stop in Minneapolis to see Tory, Jeanette and our new neice, Mackenzie. It was so fun to see them and have lunch. Isabella and Mackenzie had a great time hugging each other too. Wish we could be closer so they can play together.
