Leaving for the hospital today

Dear Family and Friends,

We will be leaving in a couple of hours to go to the hospital in Birmingham for Isabell's surgery tomorrow. She is the first one at 6 a.m. that Dr. Grant will be operating on for the bilateral cleft palate. The operation should take 3 to 4 hours. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I will update the blog with progress reports during our stay.

Many thanks,

Martha and Isabell

Playtime with Friends

It has been a busy week learning how to play with others. Miss Isabell has been playing with her friends Gracie and Hannah and had a overnite visit with her friends the Edwards. The gang had a great time in the tub splashing and taking turns putting Isabell on their laps.

Happy New Year!

Dear Family and Friends,



Sorry we have been a while in posting. We had a wonderful holiday season with my brother, his wife and three boys joining us for the week of Xmas. The boys loved their new cousin and could not have been sweeter to her.



Isabell is doing really well. She is crawling, eating from a spoon and drinking from a sippy cup. As well, she is beginning to pull up (although I am pushing her back down - no need to hurry). But on to the more important stuff...more pics of this cutie!
