So what if the groundhog saw his shadow…

We’re ready for spring! It was warm enough today to get outside for a while, one of Isabelle’s favorite activities. She hasn’t been out much at all this winter because I was worried about her getting sick pre-surgery, and then it was a few more weeks post surgery recuperation time.

Now she’s ready to go! She was happy to be ‘let loose’ and didn’t want to have anything to do with the person trying to take her picture.

In fact, by her reaction to me when I have the camera in my hands, you’d think she’d never seen me before. I think I take too many pictures of her. Maybe.

She was running away so much that I decided to sit her down so I could take a pic or two… she was pretty stressed to sit in the grass, all prickly and foreign as it were.

So she sat for a moment and then tried to get up without putting her hands on the ground. It probably wasn’t my proudest mommy moment as I continued to take pictures of her, giggling.

It was really cute…but I don’t think she enjoyed it. Then I took her over to the front stairs and, well, she wasn’t ‘stuck’ there so, our photo session ended without a whole lot to show for it. Fortunately she’s pretty cute no matter how inept the photographer is.
