There is not a day that goes by without Bella surprising us with something new.  Many times Barry and I look at each other in disbelief asking: “Did she really say that?”  I beat myself up for not finding the time to write her progress down, so here is the list mostly for us to…

Yes, our family went tent camping!  Can I say that probably out of all of us, this seemed to be the biggest ordeal to me and I stressed about it for months in advance.  Camping lovers would call me crazy as it was only for 2 nights and 1.5 days, but I call it survival. …

We found out something wonderful on May 14th, 2011.  We will be parents again!!!  Both Barry and I are extremely excited and can not wait to meet this tiny creation.  One funny thing is this baby will be born in January, just like Bella, my hope is they will not share birthdays.  From what I…

Bella got to experience her first fireworks, which ended quiet fast, as she did not like the noise nor the lights.  She kept telling me “loud” and “bright” so we finally asked her if she wanted to go back inside the house to which she replied with excitement “yes”.  As I was still trying to…

Barry and I have been planning to go to San Francisco for a little while now but finally decided to act on it.  We asked Papa and Nana to watch their darling granddaughter to which they gladly agreed as always and we took off to one of the busiest cities nearby.  Let me just say,…

I meant to write this pretty much as soon as I turned 30, but as always short on time and did not make it a priority.  I feel like I have lost most of what I wanted to express in this post, so I will simply say what I want to say today.  I never…

What a beautiful and blessed day, May 22, 2011.  My one and only dearest brother united with Lilya to become one.  It was definitely one of the most emotional days for me, I had a difficult time holding in the tears as I was taking pictures of the gorgeous couple.  Their journey started off at…

I tell myself over and over again, that I need more time, so I can record memorable moments as our princess going through her early years of life.  So in this post I decided to record some of the things she has been doing up until now (16 months of age) and I will try…

I have been wanting to do a little photoshoot with Bella and my parents for a while and we finally picked a day.  The time of the day was not perfect as our princess gets tired after 6 P.M. so we had a little extra sun.  Over all it was a great experience and Isabella…
