Mommy's Helper

Isabella helped me & nonna make some muffins the other day.

This is the first time we've done this together.

She liked pouring all of the ingredients into the bowl and mixing them together.

She did pretty good at lining the muffin pan with the paper cups.

Here she is checking out the progress in the oven.

Greencard

Well, after much paperwork and fees and patience, I have finally received my greencard. I had a conditional one before because we hadn't been married more than two years when I originally got it, and it's taken another 2.5 years to get the conditions removed. I'm glad the process is done with! This should make travelling alot easier. Now I can apply for citizenship if I want to.

My precious little angel.

Isabella = Big Sister

Also, Miss Isabella doesn't seem to mind the new addition! In fact, she looks at Daniela with a captive glare and, occassionally, a BIG SISTER smile.

Daniela

After much ado, we are pleased to introduce Daniela Lucia Boswell who tips the scales at 7 lbs 4.2 oz and who is just over 19 inches long. She and mom are doing well all things considering. Yes, there is a similar picture of Mary and Isabella taken just after Isabella was brought to Mary.

This kid has hair! And I don't mean brown hair; rather, we're talking thick, dark brown hair like Mary's. She has long toes and fingers to finish off her unique features.

A Few More Days To Go!

Well, I just finished my last day of work on Friday. Tuesday I go in for my C-section. By 1pm we should have a new baby girl. I hope Isabella takes it well. Her world is about to change, along with ours, in a good way. It's been nice having my mom here to help out. It's been a real blessing. I'm just ready to move on with this pregnancy and have this baby!

Isabella's new haircut

Isabella's hair was getting a little too long so Nonna gave her a really short haircut. It took a little getting used to but she looks cute with long or short hair. Short is good for the hot summers here in Texas!
