Still Awesome!

Even this time around I think the ultrasound is so cool! Even at 2.5 cm this little baby has a heartbeat and little arm and leg "buds." How neat I get to be alive now and have the opportunity to see this! Seeing the baby made me excited all over again. :)
Gwin baby #2's EDA is December 23...

TWO YEARS!! Wow!

My little Isis just turned TWO!!! That time has just flown by... but it seems she's always been part of our family. Here's the teenie, tiny 19 inch, 5 pounds 7 ounces of a little girl we brought home two years ago.

so little!

I think she looks like a baby doll in this one.

And here she is on her 2nd birthday - 28 pounds and 34 inches tall. How she's grown!!

Quite the happy birthday girl.

What inexplicable joy this sweet little girl has brought to our family. I am so blessed and so lucky to be the mother to this angel child. She really is the happiest, sweetest little girl I've ever known. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISIS!!!

FYI

Isis just wanted to tell everyone something. :)

One Little Monkey...

Isis was in the backyard with me while I was pruning the garden on Thursday. Only a minute after I had moved to another planter box I heard, "Mommy!" I turned around and found this:

How did she do that?!

I was quite impressed with her balance and coordination and she was quite pleased with herself. She definitely didn't want to get down. What a little monkey!!

Here she is "explaining" herself.



Man, this girl cracks me up!

Trip to Tucson

Being the oldest of six kids I was lucky enough to have my entire family come to pretty much everything I did. Now that I'm out of the house (as well as two other siblings) I realized that a crowd of at least seven supporters isn't usually an option. Realizing this, I strongly felt the necessity to be supportive and "there" as much as possible.

SO, at the end of April we were able to travel down to Tucson to see my brother Stephen in a college production of "The Crucible." He played Reverend Hale and did AWESOME. It was a great performance.

Isis also got to go to the Tucson Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa and had a grand time. Jeremy and I were pretty impressed with the little zoo. It was nice that this time Isis was actually interested in seeing the animals and not just all the kids running around.

That weekend it also happened that my great-aunt Mona's funeral was that weekend and I drove up with my parents for that. This is my grandpa the oldest of the last 6 Willis siblings of 12.There's always something nice about going to Grandpa and Grandma's house. And some things will ALWAYS belong in their house, and that's nice to know.

(He looks pretty good for 91 don't you think?)

I cannot get the pictures to move where I want them on the blog so for more pictures (and commentary) on our fun weekend click here.

Just a little bit longer...

I know how it is when I keep checking to see if friends have written anything new and alas it has been a whole THREE DAYS since anyone posted. So my apologies if anticipation of my awesome posting has caused any devastating disappointment. I've just been too tired to go through my pictures and think of anything to say. But never fear, posts are on the way and they're good... But not until after church. :) Stay tuned....
