We are trying to enjoy every last minute of beach time we have left. We have been here since Bella's birthday and it is coming down to the last day for us. Bella has changed so much just in the time we have been here it is fun to think about how our trips to the beach used to be. I think she will always enjoy the beach, warm or cold........she just loves the water (I had to stop her from walking straight out to the water today, even when it is cold enough for winter jackets, crazy girl!).

Tony Marek is in Florida for work this week and next. We were lucky enough to have him for dinner and Bella developed quite the attachment. She took every opportunity to give him kisses.

Even the most energetic child hits a wall every once in a while...............tough being a kido!

Bella likes to take my purse apart and write "notes" for me to enjoy when I find them, they make my day!

Trying to entertain two toddlers when it is too dark to go outside............interesting what you can come up with! Tristan and Bella loved this one though, highly recommended.

Bella has spent some time at the local Children's Museum on rainy days. It is the perfect place to entertain her, and myself, for a couple of hours. They have set up a full grocery store complete with checkout register which Bella is kindly demonstraiting for us in this shot.

Bella and Annie Marek finally meet!!! From what the adults could tell they really liked each other and thought we were all silly. Annie is trying to teach Bella how to share in these pictures and Bella just sits on her.......we have some work to do.

Bella and Koda are offically best of friends. We could not have asked for a better dog with Bella, Koda really tolerates everything Bella what to "throw" (someitmes literally) at her. Such a good puppy (who is back to normal after her surgey thank goodness).
