Runner up

Birth announcements have been ordered...yes, I know...it's about time! I wanted the picture to be perfect for her official debut and was hoping for a smile photo. We chose a simplistic and natural shot...meaning no hair accesories. So, it came down to two...isn't she lovely?

Parents Night Out!

Yea! The Newlyrents had a night on the town Friday. Dinner and drinks, friendly conversation and plenty of photo ops!

While we were out I overheard someone calling us "marrieds." The L-O-V-E must be obvious ;)

baby and baby are with grandma and grandma!

Calling in sick...

is not an option!!! I woke up Monday morning feeling like the flu was taking over my body. My initial thought is that I want to stay in bed and not move, but oh...no, no, my sweet baby girl is depending on me! I wasn't sure I was going to make it and thought Jason needs to come hooooome, but we made it and thankfully whatever took up rent in my body decided to die by Tuesday afternoon. It actually wasn't too bad as Isabella and I made a little home out of the guest bedroom and we just had cable installed :) That is a good thing and a bad thing. A marathn of a show called Real Housewives of Orange County was airing...oh my!

I just want to say thank you, thank you to my mom who raised 4...four...CUATRO!...children and am sure there were many days she wanted to "call in sick" but was the strong woman she is and clocked in and never clocked out!

Ouch!

Isabella had her two month appointment today. She is doing very well and weighed in at 11 lbs 7 oz and grew 2 inches! She was given 4 shots and cried a little but for the most part took it a lot better than I was anticipating.

Pumpkin Patch, where are you?

I was deteremined to take some pictures at a pumpkin patch and googled for one in Orlando. We lost our way a little, but we arrived and took some great shots...well, if I do say so myself!

representin' with the boots!

why am i sitting here surrounded by these big orange things???

yes, heels in a pumpkin patch!

i wonder who is holding isabella...

Five years and many, many more to follow...

Jason and I celebrated our fifth wedding annivesary on October 25th. How time flies when you're in love!

Smooches to my Papi...a beautiful man, a wonderful husband and a fantastic father.

enjoying a nice dinner with our baby girl at downtown disney...she's starting to cry and ready to go home!

First family trip

Jason had a conference in Florida last week and we were lucky enough to join! Isabella's first plane ride could not have gone better! She slept on the way there and back. When we boarded the plane to leave Houston, I sat down in my seat next to a chatty lady holding a little girl with a snot-filled and overflowing nose. I was thinking, "this is not going to work," and immediately handed my non-sick baby to Jason so she would be farther away from the germ infested child. Thankfully a flight attendant stated there were too many people on our row and not enough air masks so the chatty cathy and the runny nose moved :)

We were there for six days and stayed at a Disney resort on BP's tab...nice! While it was pretty humid for most of our stay we had two days of fairly nice weather at the end of our stay. We enjoyed good food, outlet shopping, room service and neat Disney attractions. No, we did not go to Disney World, but we plan to one day when Isabella is older!

my parents are crazy...

i'm still wondering why we didn't make this purchase!

Growing Isabella

Here are a few photos of our growing girl. Tomorrow she will be 8 weeks old! Her 2 month appointment is coming up and I am looking forward to find out how much she weighs. I'm pretty sure she is over 10 lbs. Isabella continues to be very aware of her surroundings and is very alert. She has been very vocal and we love having conversations with her. She responds to cooing, English and even Spanish ;)

Our friends Brad and Amy have a new little one too and he's so cute! Luke was born two days after Isabella and they are already friends...well, Isabella thinks so at least! Brad and I were in the same 3rd grade class and joked about our two little ones being in the same class together...Mrs. Grace, are you still kickin' it?
