Family pics

March was a month of family time. We are very blessed to be able to see family as much as we do with living 7+ hours from everyone.

Mid march we took a road trip to Little Rock. Bella's first time at Gpa Rusty and Nana Cheryl's house. We had a great time playing and watching our dog Libby and their dog Sonny rough house. We also celebrated Rusty's birthday with a yummy yummy dinner and Key Lime Pie!!
We got a double dose of Unlce Matt & Aunt Jill this month!! They drove to Little Rock and to St. Louis. Bella thoroughly enjoyed their company! Matt even taught her how to blow bubbles.
Next my parents drove to Lexington for a short trip... after a few short days from returning from a 2 week Egypt trip! My mom's goal was to teach Bella to crawl. Well, Bella did not crawl, but she did learn how to go from laying down to sitting. Quite the accomplishment I'd say! She now can get on her hands and knees, so I don't think it will be too long.
While my parents were here they totally revamped our bedroom closet! It is awesome!! Now we do not have an erupting volcano of clothes, and we have a bunch of new shelves to keep it from becoming so again.
Here is my dad & Bella before the headed back home. You will notice Bella's finger in her mouth.. she is teething and her first tooth has surfaced within the last week! Somehow I did not manage to get a picture of my mom and Bella.
Last weekend we had the wonderfully opportunity to meet Scott's mom, Cindy, aka Gma Cindy or CC, in St. Louis. It is about half way for each of us. Matt & Jill also made the trip! We had a great time hanging out at the hotel playing Cranium (during Bella's naps) and watching Bella perform. Bella loves to clap and make lots of jabber noises. We also went to Chesterfield Mall one day - a very cool mall indeed!
Here is a pic of Scott with Bella in her princess swim suit. We took her to the pool for the first time. She loved the water!! And here is CC with Bella. She is good at taking pictures and probably got a lot more than I was able to. It was a fun trip!
