Our Family & Our Life

We were up before the birds this morning to do an airport run for a very important arrival from Sao Paolo.... We're all very excited to be together again so much so that Isla has been following Colin around like a puppy ever since... We also celebrated a belated Father's Day when we arrived home.... Isla bought Colin "Father and Daughter" Willow Tree figurine - I call it "Daddy's Girl" - how appropriate ;-)

Ok, maybe not day 118 but it sure feels like it - it's been a llllooonnnngggg five weeks and one day without you, dear.  We miss you so much and can't wait until we can celebrate Father's Day tomorrow starting at 5:45 a.m. - when your plane lands... Isla LOVES her daddy and daddy loves Isla! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Isla has been fighting a fever the last couple of days but thankfully a prayer is answered again and she's feeling great today - just in time to play with Daddy tomorrow!  She woke up a couple of times last night screaming but she woke up happy, bright eyed and ready to go at 11:00 a.m.!  I knew she really needed a good sleep in order to feel better and she sure got it this morning. 

Isla is 28 months old today and looking more and more like a little girl rather than a toddler.  She's talking more.... A bit more cheeky, OK, alot more cheeky everyday... Oh yeah, and she's finally 3 feet tall...

I went into her room to wake her up from her nap (I don't want her sleeping longer than 1.5 hours in the afternoon).  She was snug as a bug bundled up under the duvet. ... until she heard the click of my camera ... there she is! Her hair was soaked with sweat and curly, curly, curly.... I should've got a photo of it... oh well...

After I changed her, I made the mistake of leaving her for a few minutes and came back to this... Sitting on the coffee table with the change pad and wipes everywhere... I hate to think of what I could've returned too if I didn't already take care of the dirty diaper ... Silly girl with silly hair...

I thought this only happened to boys. Guess not, eh? Time for tubby-tub. Again.

Her new summer dress!  It's adorable and even sweeter on her  ;-) This is what she was doing as I was trying to take a pic! My three lovely girls!

Our girl playing with her "new" Tonka truck.... 'Til next time,

She has it all figured out - move the trash can to the floor, step on the cat litter box and then grabs her tooth brush and paste!  Smart cookie - she'd do it 18x a day if I let her!
