New England Spring

First, the scenery. Here we are in the parking lot of a local mall. Lake, Geese, Swans...





















Jess and Isabella taking in the sights and sounds.



Then we went on a walk around a pond. And stretched our legs a bit.











I think we'll be back here again soon!

NUTELLA!!!!

I love nutella!!












No really I loooove nutella!!











You want some nutella?












Eveything was fine until we had to clean up. Wipes, wipes, wipes, and more wipes.

New England Aquarium

Last weekend while my mom was visiting, we went to the New England Aquarium. We took the T from near our place into downtown. This was Isabella's first T ride!!! When we got off the T, we walked in the freezing wind to the aquarium.

There were so many beautiful animals!!! I loved the sea turtles and the penguins :)

Arnaud went to the touch pool with Isabella. She touched a live starfish!!! She had so much fun exploring! After that long morning, Isabella (and the rest of us!!!) was exhausted. She didn't even wake up when the train arrived very loudly. She slept the whole way home. Notice her new FAVORITE cup we bought her from the aquarium; she wouldn't put it down, even while sleeping.

Dress Up!!!

Just some funny pics of Isabella goofing around at home. She loves to put the hat on backwards and model scarves. What a goofball!!!

Easter at the Farm

On the Saturday before Easter, we took Isabella to a farm in Natick, MA to have an Easter Egg Hunt and meet the Easter Bunny. Too bad when we got there, all the other parents had already scooped up all the easter eggs and the bunny was being mauled!!! Oh well, we got to go to the petting zoo and see some animals and finally met the Easter Bunny. We also shopped around the country market.

Here is a demonstration of Isabella's new found abilities. This video is long so prepare yourself to watch for 5 minutes+. Enjoy the show!

Isabella's First Haircut

Today I picked up Isabella from school a little early so we could get that wild mane of hers under control. We went to a just for kids haircutting place called "Snip-Its" in Chestnut Hill. She got "just a little off the top" and now looks very stylish. She did very well in the barber chair with a seatbelt and they put a mini-cape on to protect her clothes. Afterwards, she got a prize - a princess figurine. Arnaud came to meet us there after work, so it was a family outing. How cute is she??? (not that I'm biased or anything!)
