I didn’t really plan anything super huge for my last Monday’s With Bella since I didn’t really have a whole lot of time to prepare. We went to the park and did a photo shoot, went to the store to get her some Cardinals gear for Opening Day, went and got some lunch, played in the sprinkler (no joke, it was warm enough), painted our nails, etc.
I told Sara I still plan on coming over every Monday :-) It will be Monday’s with Bella, Sara & Baby Sedlak #2.
Adventures with Bella will start soon, so no need to get all sad! She’s funny every day of the week, not just Monday’s.
Here are some of Bella’s photo shoot pictures
Sara got a picture of Bella & I in our matching Cardinal outfits (totally unplanned btw, I didn’t want to put her in jeans and she didn’t have any jean shorts…so the skirt won) and then I painted her nails to distract her from the fact that she couldn’t have tandy (candy) for dinner :-)
Then this evening I put together this little (well…not so little…it’s like 10 mins long) slide show of LOTS of Monday’s With Bella pictures and 3 songs. Windows Movie Maker is awesome, sooooo easy. Anyway- even though it’s super long (I was too lazy to narrow down pictures because I love them all) it still makes me laugh. Every picture reminds me of some funny thing she did or said. The little video clip at the end is p-e-r-f-e-c-t and was actually taken on our last Monday’s With Bella. Please disregard my bright red, freckle covered, no make-up face. Can you tell Summer is coming?? ha!
Maybe I’ll get a few comments on this post??? I didn’t even get ONE on my Oak Knoll Park shoots…what the heck? :-) I got lots of emails from everyone saying they loved the pictures….but no comments. Soooo….
Enjoy!! (please set aside 10 mins to watch this…so sorry to those of you who have slow internet connections)

That was sooo CUTE Lissy!! It actually made me pretty sad, but I am VERY excited for Adventures with Bella:)
Sara says
You should see me right now!!! I look really good considering I look like I have been sucker-punched in both eyes and the nose and my nose is running like a faucet. So you made Bella’s Mama sob like a baby!!! Lissy, I can’t thank you enough for loving Bella so much and making her Mondays so memorable. She is one lucky girl to have such a fun and silly Aunt to make the worst day of the week so awesome! I hope you know that Ryan and I will still be looking every week until you post your “Adventures with Bella”! You’re the BEST!!!
Mom says
Well, that made Bella’s Grandma very sad too! I’m really going to miss “Monday’s with Bella” – but will be looking forward to “Lissy & Bella’s Great Adventures” – too much fun!!
Kathy says
Precious – that’s all I can say…just precious.
Amanda says
Okay, like Sara I cried – not as much as her but I think it may be my prego hormones. What a sweet little video and relationship. Wow she has grown up a lot since you have been there. Lissy, Bella is so lucky to have an aunt like you. Now please promise that you will keep posting about that little girl. It’s the only way we get to see her. We are so happy about Sara’s news and can’t wait for her to be home with Bella. I think going to work and leaving Bella behind was the hardest thing she has ever had to do. You made that easier for her. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Love,
Amanda

Goodness! Not to echo what’s been said…but I’m shedding some tears (partly I’m sure due to the hormones :)). I love reading your Monday’s with Bella posts and I can only imagine Adventures with Bella! It will be even more entertaining, if that’s possible! Bella Boo is so lucky to have such a fun aunt! And I can’t believe Sara is off after Thursday, woo hooo!!!! I am soooo incredibly excited for this part of her life to begin! Being away from Bella these last 2 years was difficult and now she has a few weeks of time with just her and Bella before the newest bundle of joy arrives!
Jen says
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Allison says
I didn’t cry- just found it really sweet and funny. No pregnancy hormones here. I’m so excited for the next adventure. You should take more video this time around-Miss Bella is a funny girl.
Abby says
Lissy – When Bella grows up and is able to see all the fun sweet pictures you have taken and that little video – that will be one of the best gifts you can give her – she will feel so special and loved as I am sure she already does by you – yes everyone has already said it but she really is lucky to have an aunt that loves her so much and gets to spend such good times with her – and I am super excited that Sara gets to stay home with the babes! Now she can have playdates with Drewbie and I!
Carol says
It is nice Sara gets to stay home now, but oh I am going to miss Bella on Mondays, I so enjoyed that, but I will get with your next additions that you have of her, that one pic in the sun quite a hint of red in her hair, she is such a hoot, her expressions one can almost read what she is thinking or saying, Love it
Brenda says
You have to be one of the sweetest, best aunts on the planet, and you’re a great photographer to boot! I loved the video and am looking forward to all your future posts. I love, love, love, your photos.
Hi to your mom and dad from me!
