Lazy Days

Yep, I've now had 5 days off to enjoy with my sweet Izzybug. 5 lazy days for me and 5 regular busy days for Izzy. Since we've all been sick this week, I didn't get to do a lot of things I had hoped for, but I have definitely enjoyed some extra one on one time with Izzy. It's what I needed the most -because stress levels continue to stay high and Izzy always makes me smile. I'm glad for her too, because now as Robert starts work, it means she'll be apart from both of us more.

Izzy had fun going through all the kitchen drawers and finding new uses for things
she got a big kick out of walking around like this
her expression here reminds me of a picture of me as a baby. kinda weird.
Some other news is that the Saturn (who died on Friday, as Robert was driving home from work) is now working again, and we didn't have to pay megabucks to fix it... Now we have the dilemma of deciding if we should look into buying another car now and selling this one while it's still working or just running it into the ground? We REALLY want to get a house before Christmas, but we also want a reliable car for Robert (especially if he has to drive with Izzy). So once again, there are more decisions to make. Life gets complicated so fast sometimes - I guess we will make that decision one way or another soon.

I hope everyone out there gets some time to be lazy with their family and enjoy the people who mean the most to them!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Another busy weekend has come and gone. It feels like we did so much with our family this weekend, but really we were all able to relax some and enjoy hanging out and playing with Izzy for the weekend. I'm thankful for the extra time with everyone. I just wish we had one more day off to do nothing now! Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend. Grammy made homemade blueberry pancakes while Izzy and Grandpa supervised (and taste-tested) YUM!! I'm pretty sure she said Yum a lot this weekend! Izzy showing Grammy how much she loves to take off and run outside She is growing up too fast - but still cuter than ever! Excited that Cheree and Daniel came too Learning all about Mac Books from Uncle D Laughing when Grandpa makes animal noises, another favorite for Izzy Ahhh ...my daily scene of frustration - wish she would listen to us and NOT stand on chairs every chance she gets...but naturally standing is always more fun than sitting for this daredevil, so we're working on that...

Closer than ever

It was soooooo good to see my brother and sister. I'm glad they will get to see Izzy more too! There is so much to her personality and abilities, it is just too hard to describe her over the phone! Yesterday was a very cool day for me - I got to hang out with my brother, sister and brother in law too... hanging out might not sound like a big deal, but to us, it is exciting because for the first time in a long time - at least 7 years the 3 Voyles siblings all live in the same state. Not just that, but we are only 2 hours away from each other. We have been 10 hours apart for the last 4 years...which meant only visiting each other 3 or 4 times a year - 3 or 4 RUSHED visits is hectic and not enough time together for us. Now with Cheree and Daniel in Chattanooga and we're in Nashville (so is Mark), we're all going to be able to see each other much more often, allowing us days to just "hang out" like we used to. I literally called Cheree and Daniel on Thursday to ask so...
