Just the beginning...

To my dear family and friends,

Oh, where to start... seeing as my sister-in-law, my best friend in California, and a few others all have started their own blogs to keep all their family and friends updated and informed about all the important (and sometimes not all that important, but fun to talk about none-the-less:)) goings on in their lives, I thought I'd jump on the band wagon and share our family adventures too.

Well, the crazy days of summer are officially over as of midnight tonight in respects to this being the first day back to school for Thaniel and Abby. I am not looking forward to getting up early to get them off to school, seeing as Isabel is a night owl- late to bed, late to rise. She'll probably be sleeping while I get up to get them off. Plus I have to get hubby off by 6am to the commuter bus to Milwaukee due to he's having car trouble and being the holiday weekend, was unable to get it fixed yet, and does not want to leave me without a vehicle at home, so he will be riding the bus into work today. I feel bad for him- but maybe he can get in a nap on the way! Stress free- no driving in the crazy rush hour. He gets to sit and relax on the bus and let the bus driver deal with it. Without road rage I hope!

Isabel is growing at a remarkable rate- she doesn't look like my little baby girl anymore (not that she was ever that little to begin with!) She is off the charts (over the 100th percentile) for height and weight, and in the 60th percentile for her head circumference! The pediatrician and I laughed at Isabel with her little head on top of that long body, and the doc joked it isn't the size of the head that matters... it's the gray matter inside it that does. oh, Izzy, Izzy, Izzy! Such the talker lately. Or yelling is more likely. She likes to listen to herself open her mouth wide open and make this funny noise from the back of her throat as loud as she can. It is hilarious. And she is eating like crazy- has a huge appetite and is quite the good eater already. Not nearly as messy an eater as Thaniel or Abby was. I think they wore their food more than they ate it. Including some recent pics of the kids.

Well, should get off to bed. Hope everyone is happy and healthy. Love to all...
