Through the Eyes of Izzy

 This morning, Grandma and Papa picked me up and we went shopping.  We went to the Navy Exchange and Papa bought me some new earrings.  We ate at the food court.  I love eating there! Grandma and I had fried rice and orange chicken. Papa also got me some noodles and an egg roll.  Then I picked out some clothes for Ellie and matching Hello Kitty shirts for Abby and me.  Then we headed to the commissary.  I love to help shop! We stopped at a shop called Hug Bug and Grandma bought a cute swing for Ellie. Then we headed to Grandma and Papa's house.  Abby and I had lots of fun playing.  I got to hold Ellie.  She is so cute and is growing.  Can you believe that she weighs more than 12 lbs now?  After dinner, Abby and I settled in to watch some video shorts and Papa was working on genealogy stuff.  He loves doing that.  Since he had knee surgery last week, he can't work in the yard or chase us outside,...

 Papa stopped by with a surprise for me.  He knows I love cheese balls! Now if I can just get this open.

We were so excited to hear that my cousin, Ellie, was coming home from the hospital.  She had to have heart surgery.  Mommy and Grandma decorated the house.  Papa took Abby and me on a walk.  We found new walking sticks too.  Abby and I looked at one of our favorite books, Grandma's Alice in Wonderland Pop Up book.  They're here! They're here! We were so happy to have Ellie, Aunt Sarah, and Uncle Tony home.  They had been at the hospital for two weeks. We ate some cupcakes.  Ellie is checking out Grandma taking pictures.    Abby and I got to hold her.  She's a little wiggly. I love being the big cousin.  I love my little cousins, Abby and Ellie.
