Merry Christmas!!

What a wonderful holiday season it has been. Isabelle started creep-crawling a few weeks ago, and now makes a beeline for whatever forbidden thing is nearby (usually one of James's toys specially designed for ages 3 and up and most attractive to the under-3 set). I think James longs for earlier times when his sister remained in one place, but Peter and I are so excited to see her motoring around.

We spent a lovely, if rainy (11+ inches!!), weekend at my parents' house, with my brother, sister-in-law and nephew Noah (who is also 3) visiting from Georgia. James and Noah were fast friends, and it's so exciting to see them grow up together.

Now we're off to James's Christmas concert at school, and then in for a quiet weekend at home, celebrating with Pete's family on the 25th. We'll see what Santa has in store for us.

Wishing everyone peace, love and laughter. Merry Christmas.

Isabelle and James

Isabelle and James have become the best of friends. She is the first thing James asks for in the morning, and if he is up before her, I must wait until he is with me to go into her room. He's been such a wonderful big brother.

Grrrrrr. Our little lion man on Halloween.

Isabelle at the pumpkin patch. At seven months she's sitting up, laughing like crazy and making our life sweet.

Introducing Isabelle Carol Agnost

The blog is back, with a brand new addition. We welcomed baby Isabelle Carol Agnost into the world on April 17, 2010 (a surprise Aries when we were expecting a Taurus). Now 2 months old, Isabelle is a joyous baby who loves to sleep (unlike her big brother). James has been amazing with her, and has even found time to be potty trained. I'll try to keep the blog more up to date so that our family and friends can watch both Isabelle and James grow. And how fast they do grow!
