We're back from New Jersey where we had a wonderful time with the family. On Friday we went to visit Aunt Terry, Uncle Fred, Great-grandma Perry and Cousin Michael. Great-grandma sang songs to Isabella, while Bella sat on her lap...what a beautiful sight! On Saturday we went to Long Island to visit Isabella's maternal great-grandparents. Great-grandpa met Isabella for the first time and fell in love with her. Aunt Liz, Uncle Vinny, Cousin Jackie, Cousin Catherine, Kathy and Peter also joined us for a wonderful meal. Isabella sat on Mami's lap during lunch and loooved the carrots and turnips.

On Easter Sunday the "Perry-side" of the family came over to the house for an incredible Easter lunch. Isabella sat on her high-chair, right at the table and, believe it or not, eat Aunt Terry's lasagna!!! She kept smacking her lips and waving her hands for more. It was wonderful to see Isabella enjoying her grandparents, great-grandparents, cousins and great-aunts and uncles! Grandma and Papa Joe bought her an Exersaucer, a high-chair and Pack-n-Play, so Isabella felt right at home. We had a terrific time! In a couple of months Grandma Barbara, Papa Joe and Abi will fly to San Antonio to celebrate Bella's first birthday! Time simply flies... Thank God she's getting cuter by the day!

The first two pictures show Kurtis' welcome home creation for Mami and Bella when they returned from Puerto Rico. A little birdie told me he spent HOURS designing and setting up the balloons!!
