In 2006 you all so warmly welcomed my nephew Steven back from his second tour of duty in Iraq. He is still active in the military currently working as a drill instructor. This past October we welcomed the newest member of our family into the world - Isabella Sierra-Rose. I just got home from a wonderful visit to meet my grand niece.

So here is the littlest one with her very proud daddy.

Deb - what a truly beautiful moment you captured between this father and his daughter. I know that this will be a treasured photo for many, many years.

Ahhh, hello Isabella!
Awwww, what a sweetie pie!!! She's beautiful! Please thank your nephew for his service to our country, and for helping to keep us all safe. ;o)

Oh, what a doll! A very tender photo, Deb. As you know, I've got a granddaughter now, and I hope to see her again on New Years Eve. Blessings to your family.
Oh, absolutely precious! What a wonderful memory you captured for them.

There were so many tender and touching moments that my eye and heart recorded, but not the camera. Thank you everyone.

Aaron, I will.

Precious...

A picture that speaks a thousand words. It speaks to the heart of everyone, to a nation... and to a world in search of peace.
Debbie G. Dec 16, 2008, 8:57pm EST
Faith, I am so happy for you as well. I hope you get lots of good cuddle time on New Years Eve. What a great way to start a new year!
Debbie G. Dec 16, 2008, 8:57pm EST
Duckie, I'm so glad you saw it.

Oh-what a sweet picture, I'm glad you got to visit (and I'm glad you are back on the ground)!
Verie Sandborg Dec 16, 2008, 9:07pm EST
Isabella is beautiful. This tender photograph with her dad will be a special memento for her some day.
Wilma M. Dec 16, 2008, 9:08pm EST
What a heart warming picture. Isabella is a little doll.
Madame Donna C. Dec 16, 2008, 9:18pm EST
Deb, this is wonderful, happy, and a great pre-holiday gift! I'm glad you had fun and are now home safely.
Debbie G. Dec 16, 2008, 9:28pm EST
Thank you everyone! It was a very special time and I'm so glad you shared it with me. Yes, it's good to be home again too. A bit of a hard day for the airlines and their travelers.

Hello Isabella! What a cutie.

Welcome back, Deb! We had to feed Tonia tranquilizers all day today coz she was pacing and fretting while you were in the air. I hope you manage to make her a lot more serene. LOL!!!
Carolyn Madden Dec 17, 2008, 6:40am EST
Aaaaaaaw! aint she just perfect! and how odd Debbie, that a relative of yours should be named for Isabella Beeton, the famed Mrs Beeton of nineteenth century household correctness, whom i quoted at you recently when you were facing a c--king crisis. hehe, some coincidences are just too cute to ignore ;)
Lainie - Just Lainie Dec 17, 2008, 10:45am EST
Aww, her name is as beautiful as she is!
Beryl Singleton Bissell Dec 17, 2008, 5:41pm EST
Thank you, thank you Debbie. What a beautiful baby in her daddy's arms. She's a real Christmas time gift and her name. Oh my. What a lovely, lovely name.
