"Younger Woman"

Meet Isabelle LeeAnne Maier.  She is the "younger woman" in Grandpa's life.  She's been around for about 2 1/2 years now and he sees her whenever he gets the chance which is probably not as often as he would like.  I mean, why not?  Look at that silky, curly blond hair, those rosy cheeks and that perky little smile.  I hear she's a pretty good kisser too. Not only that, she can hold her own when it comes to having a meaningful conversation and Suri Cruise has nothing on Izzy when it comes to fashion.  This girl knows how to dress, her wardrobe leaves nothing to be desired and her outfits are ALWAYS color-coordinated (except for when her grandmother dresses her, so I hear).  She especially loves hats!

But don't let that cute little face fool you.  She is one tough cookie and has been known to smack her older brother up side the head for taking a crayon from her. She can really boogie-on-down when the music starts and has been known to be the "life of the party".  When she talks, her voice is soft and delicate and has no trouble wrapping Grandpa around her little finger with just a few words, especially when she flutters those eye lashes as she talks.  

Izzy loves to cuddle with Grandpa on the couch and I think it goes without saying that she has stolen his heart, but I don't think she had to try very hard.  From the beginning Grandpa didn't stand a chance against this bundle of adorability.  And what does Grandma think of this infatuation that Grandpa has seemed to have developed over Miss Isabelle?  It's ok....I'm not worried.

But, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a few hats like Izzy has.....can't hurt!
