Isabella's new pet

The other day while John was mowing the lawn he found a tiny little snake. How he saw it while mowing I have no idea but we showed Isabella to see what she would do and she loved it! I have to admit I was surprised, I thought she be scared. I should have known better though this kid really isn't afraid of much.

She kept calling it a "Beee" which means bug, and pointing at it. So John got a bucket and made a little home for it so Isabella could watch him. All she wanted to do was pick him up or touch him. The poor little snake didn't know what to think!

We kept him for a day or two but he was so little we couldn't really feed him properly and we didn't want to kill him so when Isabella went to bed Sunday night John let him go. I'm hoping he released him far, far away from our house because as cute as that tiny little snake was I really don't want to run into him when he's bigger!

Fun at the park

So there is a park down the road from our house that Isabella loves to go to. There is a big pirate ship that she can climb on with swings, slides, a jungle gym, Merry-go-round & an airplane she can ride in. We have to go right by it on our walks so we usually end up playing there at least once or twice a week.

That's in addition to the "big" park over by the high school that we go to also every so often. A lot of the stuff there is still hard for her to play on but she loves it anyway. Especially when the older kids from the community center are there. It's a good way to get out some of that extra energy she has and she almost always falls asleep on the way home. Some days I feel like I should get a nap too after chasing her around!

The 1st one! (Post, I mean...)

I've been trying to find the time to do this for awhile now. I've come to the conclusion I'll never have that much "free time" so I might as well just do it and try to squeeze in some writing when I can. My main purpose here is to make it easier for friends & family to keep up with what we've been up to and to also have something we can show Isabella ( and any other future kids) when she's older.

So that is that, now I'm off to go start our nightly ritual of Sponge Bob, bath & bed!!
