Finishing up Fall

Belle still has terrible eating habits.



Last night Danny yelled from the other room "Anne! Belle is wolfing down a quesadilla!!"

 "What!?" I responded as I ran to the kitchen to see for myself.



When she saw me, Belle got this weird look on her face and then spit a chewed up mouthful of quesadilla on the floor.



So I left the room and she went back to eating.

Apparently she doesn't want the milk lady getting any ideas...She knows her nursing days are numbered!



At home, Belle sneaks her food to Twinkie. When out, she feeds it to her friends.





While packing, if I would leave the room, I'd almost always return to find Belle like this.







And nothing has changed in our new place





Noah turned 1 and we partied



Maili turned 2, and Belle blew out her candles





To unwind at home, Belle likes to touch up our pedicures.





















She painted this for her new room





One of her 2011 editions is above our sink:













Belle loves to read



And make animal noises



She is picking up on a lot of new words (and sounds) right now





She is adorable. We are very Hop-ah (Belle speak for Happy.)
