Koda is so great with Bella......as you can see she tolerates just about anything! Needless to say she is fitting in very well with our family so far, now we just have to have her meet Karma!



Merry Christmas! We were reading a little "Night Before Christmas" on Christmas Eve, she was such a doll in her little outfit during Mass.
A picture of our entire family (minus Karma, I miss her so much, but we will be in New Mexico soon!) on the beach. Koda loves to give little kisses....maybe she did not know she was on camera!







Every little girl needs a special outfit and this is it for Bella right now......she wears it everywhere! This was her first real experience with snow. It was a little bit like the Christmas story....only she was not Ralphie if you know what I mean!



Finally, an artist needs silence while working...........this is art here people. She loved to eat the pudding too, she might have had more to eat than creating the actual art, oh well!











Great Grandmas know all the tricks to get a little girl to eat her yogurt and how to make them laugh. Bella had some special memories made with Helen and it will be a visit we will always remember. Bella was given her first tractor and it was soon a favorite, thanks Helen!





Bella and Cody loved to get outside and explore together! This was the beginning of Pennsylvania cold so Bella used her first winter jacket courtesy of Aunt Sara! Thanks Sara!!!





We finally made the trip to Nashville to see some good friends that we have not seen for a long time! We had a great visit and cannot wait to go back! Bella loved being one of the girls while we were enjoying a Saturday afternoon at the winery.....such great wine!


Bella is always willing to share............as long as it is on her terms. We are working on "taking turns", it is interesting to see her mind try to wrap around that concept!
