Isabel (& Josiah) Island

Eagan, Minnesota
I am a Christian, trying-to-be-crunchy wife and mama of two kids (nearly 5 and nearly 3), who keep me very busy, as well as the mother of our angel baby who was born and went to be with Jesus on November 26, 2012. I also work full-time outside the home so I don't get to blog nearly as much as I would like about my children, but I do what I can!

Isabel's Thanksgiving

We celebrated our first Thanksgiving with Isabel last week, at Grandma Tina's beautiful new house in Rochester. We enjoyed a wonderful traditional turkey dinner prepared by Tina and Don (I chipped in with the deviled eggs!) and Isabel definitely seemed to enjoy all the new cuisine that I chopped up and put on her tray! Then she had fun being entertained, carried around, and romping around with Auntie Lauren and Uncle Austin. Her biggest entertainment of the day was discovering a bowl of fake mini-pumpkins and gourds on Grandma's coffee table, and digging them out one by one, carrying them around in her mouth, and in general just having at least one, if not two, in her hands at almost all times! It was pretty cute! The things they find to entertain themselves...why do we even buy toys??!!?? We stayed until Isabel's bedtime, and she was a good girl and slept in the car almost the whole way home, where she then played for just a little bit and then went straight to bed. I guess turkey makes little babies tired too!
