Love Me Some Spring

Now with Spring upon us, Occoquan has welcomed a new Farmer's Market to town every Saturday morning. It is great! We got cheese bread, tomotoes, meats, coffee (my favorite and they give free samples) and burpless cucumbers (yes, they are seedless like English ones, but actually are suppose to make you burp, less.)
Izzy was so happy to be outside walking around. Then we saw her make a bee-line to an elderly woman and asked her (in her Izzy way) if she could help put her sunglasses back on. The woman thought this was the cutest thing and started telling everyone what Izzy had done and then Izzy thought this was great to have all of this attention, so she was talking it up with several other people that were probably trying to mind their own business of getting their veggies and bread and head home and some people were probably thinking, where are her parents? Do they just let her mosey around talking to strangers? My only thought was that Izzy has seen elderly women in grocery stores and calls out to them, "Grammy!!!" I think the white hair equals Grammy. Interesting.This is our neighbor, Alexandra. She is 4 and loves Izzy. I think Izzy feels the same. They even talk to each other from house to house...it is precious.

Eating a fresh and yummy sausage biscuit with Daddy...that is her Montgomery side, thanks Dad.

Philadelphia, PA

While Jenny was here, we drove up to Philadelphia to do some touring. It went very well except for the rain. It really rained the entire trip there, while we were there and all the way home. Oh joyous occasion for a stroller, umbrella, wet pants, coldness...ahhh. We were ready to get home. We did however see the Liberty bell, Independence Hall, Betsey Ross' house, and some other places. Oh, let's not forget the Philly Cheesesteak. Yum-o.

Happy 8th Birthday Abby!

Happy birthday to my Abby. She is growing up so fast. We miss you Abby and wish we could be there to celebrate with you! Eat some cake for us:)

Good, Clean Entertainment

We do not by any means encourage cheerleading, but here is a taste of an amateur.

Aunt Jenny's visit

In early April, Aunt Jenny from Seattle came to visit on her Spring Break. Isabella sure loved having someone else to play with her. I am not sure Jenny got a whole lot of "relaxing" done on her vacation as Izzy kept her busy. Here are some of the many pictures Jenny took while she was here. Thanks for coming to see us Jenny!

Feeding ducks with one of her school friends

We are still trying to figure out what color her eyes are going to be.

Aunt Roni and Aunt Jenny...life is good.

"Mom, running and running!"

What Happens At Grandma's, Stays At Grandma's

Well, sorry for the delay in posts. We did go to Pomeroy to see all the Field and Bartlow folk. It was nice to get away. Izzy did great on the plane, so thank you for your prayers. She even napped!!!! Hallelujah! We did lots of visiting, coffee drinking, sorting and counting bouncy balls, watching Elmo and the list goes on. Izzy was confused on what time she was suppose to get up in the morning, but took great naps during the day. Here are just some of the highlights....I have many more pictures if you can believe that!

First stop, Poppy's house. This took about 1 minute to happen. It was like she and Poppy were old friends. Precious.
