Bella is three years old now. She’s an absolute darling. The other day, she was playing with a doll before going to sleep. She put the doll beside her in bed, placed a pillow beside it and said “there, so you can be comfortable.” I stopped, my jaw dropped. I don’t think I knew big words like comfortable when I was three. Wow, my B is soooo verbose!

This was taken last December, for our Christmas photo card. The kids were running around, so Belle and I decided to have ourselves taken. Looks like a pre-nup pic.
