Happy Halloween!

Isabel here. I'm not crawling yet but getting very close. I love getting up on my hands and knees and moving my arms to get to different objects. Eventually I get frustrated and revert to laying on my belly and stretching.

Mommy got me some new toys...one of my favorites is this dog that makes noise and plays music when I squeeze his ear, tummy, arms and legs. He's great!

Here are some pictures of me helping mommy with the pumpkin!

Today Mommy and Grandma took me to my school to join with my classmates in the annual halloween parade. I got to ride around in the 6 seat stroller. I sat next to Michael who was dressed as a GT yellow jacket. I reminded him that the Hokies beat them this year :). One of my teachers, Miss Debbie dressed like a pumpkin.

I got to see my friend Jack too! We enjoyed playing together on the mat at school while Mommy and Anne enjoyed some treats.

Everyone liked my dragon costume.

I've been very vocal today and have been making lots of new sounds. Jack and I had a great conversation at school, but I'm not going to tell you what we talked about :).

I had a great morning with Grandma. We sang songs, played with my toys and ate some yummy food. Here's a video mommy took of me after eating my squash, as she was quite amused with my new vocal talents. http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb94/heatheranne226/?action=view&current=MVI_4046.flv

I also went trick or treating tonight at Mr & Mrs Lyons house. They gave me a paper dixie cup for my treat and I enjoyed chewing it until Mommy took it away.

Ok, I am up past my bedtime so should probably go to sleep!

Random Pictures

I'm hoping to get a real blog update later this week, but for now figured I would put some random Isabel pictures up. Enjoy!

Martha & Patrick's Wedding

We traveled to the Eastern Shore of Maryland this past weekend to celebrate the marriage of Martha & Patrick. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a great time. Isabel was quite the party animal and decided napping was not going to be a part of the regularly scheduled events. I think she wore herself out and was pretty happy to get home to her own bed.









Martha's sister, Amy, decorated these pumpkins in honor of the big day.




After the ceremony, the bridal party took a boat to the yacht club, where the reception was being held. The weather was perfect and the boat ride was a nice time to relax before the reception.





The new Mr. & Mrs. Callahan :)





Carla and Jonathan, who were married just over 2 months ago.
All three of us are now Mrs :)





The Buescher Family.

The meal ended with this gorgeous sunset and tben the dancing began!
