Alive and well

Yes, that's right. I'm am still alive. Just blatantly absent from my blog.
I've missed blogging - writing posts, choosing just the right pictures, sharing fun details of our lives, connecting with you, reading your blogs, all that stuff - but life has been busy, and I just don't feel that I can make my blog a priority. It's a hobby, and something I enjoy, but it's definitely an optional thing as opposed to a necessity. I'm sure y'all understand!

Anyway, we're been busy with all the usual things, nothing out of the ordinary to report.

On one cold winter day, with nothing better to do, mommy decided it was time for little miss to have her first manicure. It was messy, and definitely not perfect, but cute nonetheless. 

 
My best friend got the girls a matching outfit for Christmas. Kaylee is just barely still young enough to think this is awesome. This was their first matching outfit, and we've since bought two more. While it's kind of silly to see kids 7 years apart in the same clothes, I do think it's pretty darn cute!

We went to the mall and rode the carousel. I love the look of joy on Isabelle's face! Don't you love the happiness?!

At the ripe old age of only 17 months, Isabelle already has a fake smile. This is what I got when I called at her to smile:

Kaylee and Isabelle were all ready for a laundry basket ride!

Isabelle is a really good shopper. She's so good about riding in the cart, and staying content and not throwing fits. But that's not to say she doesn't get weary sometimes. Look at this tired little face.

We stopped at Baby Gap last week to see if there were any new must have items. Isabelle found something she just couldn't live without. Babygirl is super stylish!

Anyway, I can't make any promises about my return to blogging, but I do hope to maintain a regular presence here.

And tell me, what was something that made you smile today?
