My name means a lot to me

Many of you are playing the Fourth Of July Name Game that Frankie Furter is hosting, and I'm happy to play along too (better late than never) because my name means a lot to me..

In Spanish, the name Bella means Beautiful; It is a diminutive of Isabella (a Spanish variant of Elizabeth) which means Devoted to God. I think the best thing about my name is that it is a diminutive of my Mum's name because I love her so much. Mum's name really suits her because she loves and cares for everyone around her so well.

I'm sure the breeder who gave me my name didn't know that it would be the same as my Mum's name !

The winter school holidays are on now in the sate of Victoria, Australia.
Yesterday was a sunny day so Dad took Anais and Mathew to Luna Park :

Wow it looks like fun, I wish I could have come !

This is a bit scary though !

You can't see it, but Matthew and Anais are standing in real snow which came from the mountains; they are too far to go for a day trip (4 hours from Melbourne), so we haven't been there yet, but it sounds too cold for me, I'd rather stay near the heater !

This is one of Melbourne's old trams.

A street near Luna Park; don't these tin people look funny ?

Mum stayed at home with me because she was tired, but Dad found her some really nice old fashioned toys like she loves : a wooden dog (Mum called him Caramel) and a little carousel.
