Dave & Emily’s Blog

I think these pictures are pretty self-explanatory.  When the whole family meets, good things happen!  Wished the out-of-towners could have stayed longer, but it was fun while it lasted.  I think Bella got her fill as well! (Sorry to those who I did not make it on here…I didn’t get pics of everyone)

“HI!”…that’s from Bella.  It’s something you would commonly hear her say.  And a few other words like “mimi” (Mommy), “dada,” “puppy,” or “baby.”  It seems like her first birthday was a lot less than two months ago, and now she’s walking all over the place and talking (kind of, more like repeating like a parrot).  It’s great to see her learn and do new things everyday!  Enjoy some of the latest pictures!

Here are the best pictures we captured from the Patterson Christmas Party.  The last one we stuck in here is Isabella with a ‘little’ smile on her face.

It was Isabella’s first Halloween, so we got her into this little number.  I think the costume worked…bzzzzzzz!

Here’s more good shots from our Naples trip.  There are so many to choose from, and these are just a few of those.

So our first trip down to Naples, FL with Isabella was a success!  She was great in the car ride both ways and ate & slept like a champ. She behaved so well at Grandma and Grandpa’s and definitely experienced many different things on this trip!

Part 2 pics coming soon…

It’s funny how one day Emily looked over at Isabella in her crib and she was just standing up!  She basically grabs anything that can help her stand up.  She’s also trying to set the record for how long she can keep her mouth open!  But seriously, when she smiles and laughs that’s usually what happens.  You can even see her teeth in the close up shot.  The last picture is kind of like a “where’s Waldo.”  Can you find her?

This past weekend was the annual Frankenmuth Oktoberfest, so we decided to hop in the car and enjoy a little family outing. (Isabella was very excited to go there for the first time)  Good music, good food, good beer, and most of all, good company.  It’s a great event, and a fun time was had by all!

Thanks again to Sally & Bill for hosting another good Patterson outing.  We had a blast and I think Isabella enjoyed herself (which is not well represented in these pictures).  It was great to see everyone!

I won’t say too much here…these are just a few fun shots at home.  Cute as always…enjoying the summer and hangin’ outside with Mom and Dad.  (her head is always darting around at the sights and sounds, although it doesn’t quite show here)  I think we could stare at those blue eyes forever!
