Where does the time go? I find myself pondering this question often, sometimes too often. Bel is almost 19months old and seems to be a big girl, no longer my little baby (yes I know she wasn't a little baby, but you know what I mean). On Sunday while DH and I attend Mass, Bel plays in the nursery with many other toddlers and has a blast. After Mass Grandpa D picked me (mommy) up from SJN and we headed off to meet my mom and sister to finish cleaning out my Grandma's apartment as she has moved into assisted living. DH and Bel headed down to Grandpa G and Grandma S's for lunch and fun, and with Bel's approval Auntie Stacey and Uncle Doug joined them. This is a little girl with a busy schedule! She is becoming more adventurous and showing us so many new things through her eyes. Bel runs where ever she goes without hesitation, she brushes her teeth, feeds herself, uses a napkin, dances like no one is watching and as any future swimmer has realized there really is no need for pants! We also had a wonderful play date with Griffin today to allow his mommy Sandra a little rest as she prepares to bring another beautiful life into the world. So to give you a glimpse into this busy life of ours and because its easiest and many of you don't get to see her often here is a ton of pictures to keep you up to speed.

Winter Update '09
Well where do we begin...
It's been a while since there was a Bel update so I figured I would wait until things settled down just a little. As most of you who read this know we had a health scare two weeks ago. Bel wouldn't move or look at me longer than a blink of an eye and the long and short of it I had to call 911. With low blood sugar, low body temp, and dehydration our little girl was not moving or responding even for the Dr.'s. So we waited, they tested, we waited some more and she really did perplex the hospital staff... so much so that they contacted Fairview Riverside and they in turn contacted the Mayo Clinic for the remainder of the tests that would be run. All in all everything came out fine with our little princess as all tests came back negative which we are told by our good Dr. that is a good sign. We may never know what happened or why according to the Dr.'s involved and there is no guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. But by the grace of God she is happy and healthy and being her.
Other than that one BIG thing life around here has been pretty low key. I continue to teach, coach and go to school myself and am looking forward to the end of a season for some much needed family time. DH is working hard as always and being the most amazing nightly at home dad 6 days/nights a week while I coach. All in all life is good.
