Izzy's Blog: Long overdue update!

Remember back in the day when cameras had actual film that you had to load and wind up? You'd have to take your chances with every shot since there was no digital screen (to check to see if you blinked in that last picture) or that blessed instant delete button we have now. And sometimes you'd put your camera away and forget about it for awhile. Maybe even a long while until one day you find your misplaced camera, discover a half-used roll of film, shoot the rest and, upon finally getting the roll developed, are reminded of that trip you took two years ago when you got that horrible sunburn. Ahhh, memories. Memories of pre-digital cameras, mystery rolls of film and those little black and gray film canisters. Those were the days. Well, there is still the occurrence of discovering pictures you took ages ago on your digital camera since most memory cards hold hundreds of pictures and we don't always upload them right away. That's what happened to me-- lots of pictures taken, just none of them uploaded until recently. Which now brings me to my latest post, encompassing Christmas through February. At least now you have lots of pictures to enjoy! Hooray for the digital age!

Cute like a butterfly, sweet like a honeybee

The best present ever!

Opening up presents Christmas morning

Awesome! Now I can start my band. I already have a name picked out: "The Onesies."

Um, so what do I do with this?

I'm considering a career in firefighting.

Woo hoo! More presents!

That stocking full of goodies must be mine!

Ballet slippers in my stocking? Cool!

This is how you bow after a big dance performance.

Check out my sweet ballet slippers!

In January, Izzy "graduated" to dance class at the Little Gym. She is now learning tap and ballet and continues with gymnastics all in one class.
