Actions shots
With my new camera, I can take burst of photos, all in a row. Here are some of the cooler pictures that I've taken. Sorry that the slide show is so slow. It's on "fast" speed, but I guess I need a "faster" speed.

Two months later...
So, this is my excuse: my computer is in my bedroom, which is upstairs, away from playing children and dogs. All my free time is spent with them, so it leaves no time with the computer. Therefore, I have no time to update my blog. That being said, I promise to try harder.
In the past two months, Izzy has changed a ton. She now talks in (almost) full sentences, and her vocabulary is expansive. Her hair has also grown really long, and if I don't give her pigtails, she just looks like a rag-a-muffin.
The dogs still don't have an electric fence, but that's because I haven't figured out what is wrong with one of the receivers, which randomly sends shocks. So, they are still living out of the back room, and the pen outside. But they aren't too sad, so that is good.
In other news, my beloved camera died. The lens got off track, and stuck in the extended position (after Izzy punched it in the nose). My sister had that problem, too, and couldn't get it fixed, so I didn't even try (other than to shove the lens halfway in). I bought a new one (Nikon Coolpix s630), but I'm going to return it, because I can't get a single good picture, and I know it's not me. (It never is.) I did research, and want to buy a Fuji Finepix F200exr, but it's out of stock at the reliable online retailers, so I have to wait for it to come back into stock.
I know, all you really want to see are pictures, so here they are.
Poor Eden
Could Rai look any more pathetic?
This was on Izzy's 2nd birthday. We went to the zoo with her cousins (not pictured is Cade).
Izzy loved opening birthday presents. She adores cards that play music. She dances with them.
So, I'm upstairs, and as I come downstairs, I think, Wow, it's quiet down here. Then I think, Where are the girls? And I find them in the entry way...with all of their toys.
Ragamuffin and her cousin couldn't get into the sandbox, so they played with the sand that they had thrown out of the sandbox on previous occasions. At least we now know why they do that.
This past weekend, Grandma Boo and Grandpa Don came to visit. Izzy loved showing them her "jump jump" (as she calls it...aka trampoline) skills.
Right now, Izzy loves playing with dolls. She puts them down for naps, and feeds them, and takes them on walks. She also makes Rai move over so that there is room for her and her baby on the pillow. Poor Rai.

Hey, I've been busy!
It's been a busy month in the Pack household. Chris left for Afghanistan at the end of May, and then I moved to Wisconsin. We're finally getting settled in, so here I am, blogging again.
Izzy is doing well. There was and is still an adjustment period, but she really loves her Papa and Yaya (my Dad and Mom), so that helps. She's had a language explosion, and can say tons of new words now, including please, go, help, Papa, Yaya, Paul, Chrissy, Raisin and Eden(definitely more understandable), and shoes. I'm sure there are more, but I can't remember them all. She is always saying Puppy, and knows that it means all dogs, not just ours. So, it's been crazy, but good.
Chris is doing well. He's really busy, and it's hot over there, so he's having a hard time finding chances to run, but I'm sure he'll work it out.
Here is Izzy and Emily in Colorado Springs. My Dad and Em came out to help me move. We spent a few days packing and sight seeing, then drove straight through to get home. Izzy did really well in the car, only getting fussy in the middle of the night because she wasn't comfortable sleeping in her car seat.
While we were in Colorado Springs, we went to Garden of the Gods, which was beautiful.
When we got to Wisconsin, we went to the zoo with my sister and her 4 kids. Fortunately, 3 of the 4 were really into Izzy, so they would chase her when she ran away. They had tons of fun!
My parents have tons of toys, so Izzy is enjoying trying them all out.
Here Izzy is, singing songs before bed, with Papa and Yaya. She can do patty cake, and the watermelon song, but her favorite is Itsy Bitsy Spider (Which she calls Bitsy Bitsy).
And here Izzy is listening to a rain stick with my Dad. She thought it was really cool, and listened to it at least 3 times!

New Words
Lately, Izzy has been coming up with new words that Chris and I have not taught her. By that, I mean she is learning them on her own without prompting from either of us to say them. The first one she threw out there was "Cupcake", after hearing it on a TV commercial. After that, she came up with "Buh-bye" when she says good-bye to the dogs as we leave the house. In the car, she said "Shake It" (or a mushy version of it) when we were dancing to the radio. I haven't heard that one since. And yesterday, she started saying "Puppy", which we call the dogs sometimes. So, she is definitely having a verbal growth spurt!
