So thankful for a sunny “warm” day!

We stepped outside for our gorgeous sunny day today! A bit breezy which required the light jackets but otherwise wonderful!

Gino and I were working on the front side yard grass; adding some dirt to the “holes” where Daisy goes potty. Isabel helped out for a little bit but then the dirt pile called and she was gone…

“Don’t throw dirt, Isabel”
(a little later, Mommy took me inside because I didn’t obey that rule!)

Love dirt but don’t like getting dirty!

Blues

Isabel and I try to keep busy with being cooped up in the house; here are just a few things we do to keep the “blues” away…

Seeing the world through “different” eyes!

Wait for Daddy (who on this particular day; fell asleep on the train, missed his stop and wound up in Tacoma! Silly Daddy!).

“Pretend” to sleep.

Rays Of Sunlight And Puppyluv

After several days of on-again and off-again snow, I think we are going to be heading back to more “spring” like weather (at least I hope so!). We had some sun for the first time in several days today. The rays poked through the trees right before it settled down on the horizon. It was a wonderful site for sore eyes! :o)

A rare moment of bonding for these two.
Usually Isabel is poking or Daisy is jumping!

It’s Puppyluv!

Snow At The End Of March

Yup, it has been snowing. It started yesterday (03-26-2008) around 5 p.m. and has been doing so on and off since. As soon as Isabel saw the flurries out the window she was asking me to go out. Enjoy!

After dinner we bundled up and headed out the door and we spent about an hour tromping through the snow. Isabel came back inside with rosy cheeks and fingers as cold as popsicles!

“Where are your gloves?” Mommy asks. “That’s going to be cold.”

“Here mommy, have some snow.” Isabel says.

Daddy And Isabel

I left Gino and Isabel downstairs tonight and ran upstairs to get something and ended up staying for awhile.

The noises and laughter I heard coming up the stairwell sparked my curiosity, so I grabbed the camera and headed back down. When I stopped on the landing  on the stairs and looked around the corner into the dining room. I was pleasantly surprised to see Daddy and Isabel (Daisy too) under my scrapbook table in a “fort”. They had pillows and blankets and looked rather cozy together. Enjoy!

Giddy-up Daddy.

Isabel eventually “found” me hiding out on the stairs taking pictures!

It’s Resurrection Sunday

We had a rather wet Easter. It started raining around 5 a.m. and continued on and off throughout the whole day. At times it would just pour down.

She was going to wear a hat but then decided not to.

Easter gift: Boz the Bear book!

Her new Boz® book.

Isabel’s Easter gifts were a new book (of course) about Boz® the bear (www.bozthebear.com), Playdoh® and a stuffed animal friend, Uniqua®, from the show the Backyardigans®.
