Looking back in time...

I'm starting this blog with a look back in time... not too far back, just about 18 months, when my great niece, Isebelle Boo came into our lives.


I unfortunately missed out on her birth and didn't see her while she was in the hospital after she was born, but I haven't missed too much since then.  Here is my 1st picture with her:




I know you may be wondering why I am dedicating a blog to my great niece.  Well, I hope it won't be just about her, as I do have a great nephew now as well and another one, great niece or nephew, on the way!  Since my husband and I were not able to have children and Isey lives so close, we've been fortunate enough to get to see her and her Mom a lot! (Thanks Nicole!!)  We love every minute of it!!  I'd have to say that I'm addicted.  I just can't get enough of her!


My great nephew, Landry, lives about 4 hours away, so I don't get to see him very often.  I'll include things about him whenever I see him!  I'm sure I'll announce when the other is born!  My sister and I will try to get to Rochester soon after she or he is born.


I've enjoyed watching Isey grow and develop.  She's a smart little girl!  I am in a bit of a habit of taking pictures of her most every weekend.  I used to be better before she got to be so interested in the toys and such that now I have a hard time getting her to look at the camera!  Here is a book I created on http://www.mixbook.com/ that covers her 1st year:  http://www.mixbook.com/photo-books/baby/isebelle-boo-the-1st-year-4836275


Now, here are pictures that cover the last 6 months:


We had a family birthday party for her in August - she really enjoyed he cake!

We started taking her to parks to go down the slides and anything else she might enjoy.  Here she is looking back up the tunnel slide at me after sliding down.



We went to my sister and brother-in-law's cabin
on Lobster Lake in Alexandria. 
Isey decided to drive the pontoon.



Early October we decided to bring Isey to a pumpkin patch in
New Prague, MN. 
We got a lot of great pictures, but here is our favorite.




 After we got some snow we decided we had to get Isey a sled
so we could take her out sledding.  She loved it!
She giggled the whole way down the hill.




We brought Isey to Christmas with my family
so she could meet my great nephew, Landry!
It was very cute, my sister was trying to get Landry to crawl
so she put some toys about 2 feet in front of him. 
Isey promptly took them and gave them to him as if to say...
"I understand, they used to do this to me too."

Here I am with both Isey and Landry!



Christmas 2010

She wasn't very happy with Santa this year:

She was much happier on Christmas day with the family:



Well, that brings us almost up to date. 
I'll post again next week with more of Busy Isey!
