little bits of life

Our green walls and Christmas decor

I had mentioned to Robbie that I didn't think Bella was going to crawl as soon as the other kids did. She was about 4 1/2 months at the time. He laughed at me and said, "they crawled early! I think she'll be fine." He was right, as usual, she is fine! She started sitting up as soon as she turned 6 months and was getting around by the time she reached 6 1/2 months! Now at 7 months she's pulling herself up! She is definitely keeping up with her older siblings!!



This picture of Grace is perfect because it captures her oldest sister authority. At least authority that she thinks she has.... :) This was the "no, mom, you put that camera away. Stop taking pictures, mom." pose. It was fun.


Our weekend trip to Dallas at the beginning of November. It was wonderful! We saw Granny and Papaw, Robbie's Black Grandparents. :) And went to the Dallas World Aquarium. It was so fun to stay in a hotel and relax! The weekend also jump started a whole week that Robbie took off from work!!! AWESOME! Our week was spent being together and enjoying every moment of it! It was the first time since he'd been back that we just got to be together. No moving, no adjusting, no work, just being together, being a family. Wonderful!







Our Friend, Barbara Manatee (anyone get it?)









Granny and Anthony



Family Movie Night, watching cars. So fun!


We love watching the two of them together.




One of my favorite pictures in the house. Wonderfully and Beautifully made!! (the children, not the photos. :) From Left to right, Grace, Anthony, Bella.





Grace working on her letters and enjoying a glass of kid wine after supper.




Sweet Bella Joy





It's been funny to us that we can not get Bella to laugh. At most, Grace will get her to giggle. She does become excited when she sees the kids sometimes but otherwise she's a very thoughtful, dramatic, happy child! At Bella's age, Grace and Anthony had lot's of laughter to share. Here are a few examples:

Grace about 8 months:






Anthony, about 7 months:




Bella, about 7 months:







Here's sweet Bell thinking about moving somewhere! This is from our visit with Granny and Papaw in Dallas



Putting those thoughts into action!
