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"!

It isn't ALL about Bella...Biketoberfest for the Big Boys

Jerry and Sandi's Dad, John, did some riding during Biketoberfest. Here they are leaving the Turtle Shack in Flagler Beach where we all had lunch.

Bella's First Biketoberfest

Although Bella didn't go riding with Daddy and Pop, she did dress up in her Harley T-shirt, jeans, and do-rag!

Bella goes to Dover's

In the middle of October 2008, a 10-week old Bella traveled with Sandi and Sandi's parents to their cottage in Dovers Bluff near Jekyll Island, GA. Bella is too young to enjoy Pop's golf cart but just give her a few years and she'll be zipping it around all over the bluff!

Bella has just begun smiling although, like a Colossal Squid, it's hard to catch on camera...although we did catch a cry on camera!These are some pics during this time.

Bella's night out on Mommy's Birthday

Bella looked so pretty in her pink dress when she joined us for Sandi's 42nd birthday celebration. Having Bella was an unbelievable birthday gift! We went to Stonewood's with Tom and Melissa Marsico as well as Alan and Lisa Brewer. We had so much fun, but Bella slept through the whole thing.
