Ok so this will serve as my promise to be a better blogger. Cara has been much better then me lately so I need to catch up! Here is the picture of our Christmas tree. We bought a 9ft one this year...its huge. I decided not to decorate with our normal ornaments because I am lazy and don't want to spend the next 4 weeks keeping Isabelle out of it. So its very simple. But its my dollar store creation, and I think it came out good.
Isabelle is as fun as ever. She talks German 23 hours a day. Nonstop. Today she just laid in her crib for an hour talking to herself. She carries on conversations with you...but you have no idea what she is saying....she on the other hand thinks she is coming across quite clear! She is still into everything! But I promise to start being better about blogging her funny stories....because trust me there are a lot!

Isabelle's surgery went well this morning. She was really fussy afterwards coming out of fog of the drugs. The nurse said she will make a good opera singer with how high she screams :) The Dr came by and said all went really well and they did have to drain some stuff out of her ear. He also said he wished he could have recorded how good she did and show it to the other babies!!! She went off with the drs (without us) and never fussed and went along with what they wanted until they sedated her. You know sometimes I wonder if she even likes me :) Just kidding! So many praises to God for watching out for our little girl this morning and lets hope this helps the tantrum issue!!!
