Memories from Bella's First Year

This 8 minute video (with audio) chronicles photos from Bella's first year. It includes some "firsts" like all of the holidays, first smile, first solid food, first SuperBowl, first time in the pool, first time being a flower girl in a wedding, and watching a historic Presidential inauguration. Many of these photos you've already seen but we wanted to provide Bella with a keepsake. We thought you might like to see it, too. We can't believe a year has passed...our little miracle is growing up too fast! [P.S. Sorry you can't make the video screen bigger!]

Bella visits Santa Claus

Bella is a girl who knows what she wants! Just look at her telling Santa exactly what is on her list this year!

Bella visits The Villages

Bella visited with her "honorary grandparents", Jerry's aunt and uncle, Marc and Maryann Salm. (For those who might not know, Jerry's parents, Gil and Mary "Bet" Boggs, are looking down on their granddaughter from Heaven.) Marc and Maryann gave Bella a "My First Bear", a "GloWorm", and a few outfits to wear at Christmas and during the winter. Marc sang to Bella and Maryann made a fantastic lasagna!

Bella's first Slumber Party and "Take Your Daughter to Work" Day

On November 19 and 20, Sandi's boss and co-workers traveled to Florida to have a meeting at our house. Deb Little (Sandi's boss), Stephanie Donachy (Sandi's co-worker), and Stephanie's 6-month-old daughter, Riley, flew in from Phoenix, AZ. Tracy Seely (Sandi's co-worker) traveled over from Orlando, FL. Riley and Bella provided endless entertainment while we tried to get some work done!

Stephanie and Riley stayed at our house so it was also Bella's first "sleep-over"!
