July pics!

Bella is a CLIMBER!! She used Jake's step stool to climb into the sink to brush her teeth! I happened to walk past the bathroom and caught this glimpse out the corner of my eye.











When did he grow up?

Bella and her Poppa (my Daddy... the BEST Daddy in the Whole Wide World!)

Don't leave your shoes lying around.. she WILL steal them... a girl after my own heart! LOL


Bella's 1st Fourth of July in America!

This is Bella's BFF, Averi Rose.

She just LOVES babies, especially Averi!

Here is my Daddy with his grandchildren on the 4th.



I was going through some pictures and came across these and realized that July was so busy, I had not posted any pictures. So, I figured... better late than never!!

Today was my first day back at work. Teachers had to report for meetings and class preparation. Bella started her 2 year old class. I was really worried about how she would do. I did worse than she did! When I got to her class to pick her up, she was all smiles. She had a GREAT day. It was so HARD to leave her, but I feel so much better knowing that she is going to be fine. She is such a trooper.

Jeff has not had a chance to touch up my Florida pics yet. he said he would have it done by this weekend at the latest. I am anxious, but am too busy this week to try to do it myself, so I will have to be patient.

She is SO gorgeous. I know the climbing can give mama a heart attack (I have a climber too), but she is a cute climber. Love all the pictures. She is growing up to be a beautiful girl!

The pictures with your dad touch my heart--I feel the same way about my dad!

I am still catching up on all my blog buddies after doing my dossier for 2 months.

Bella, its Averi:) --we really need to get together and go shopping for some shoes, everytime that mommy takes her shoes off, I go to get them and she gets them from me. We need to schedule a shoe date. As far as brushing those teeth, I can not wait until I can do it myself because mom uses some rubber thing to brush mine and I would just rather do it myself, will have to get you to teach me how to do all those things.
Lots of love, missing those hugs and kisses....
Averi

Thanks for you sweet comment and for your prayers! We will continue to pray and wait :)

Isn't it fun having a climber?? Ha ha ha - fun like a daily heart attack! Bella has grown so much and she is just gorgeous. And, as always, Jake is a handsome little man!

She is just an angel, Amanda.... AP loves to brush her teeth too. SHe's also a climber. I think it has something to do with those big brothers our girlies have! I can't wait to see all your beach pictures.
