Welcome, Jack.

From the mouth of a Stella

Matt spent a week out of town for work so I've been alone with the kids this week (other than the few nights with my sister that saved my sanity). I was looking for Stella and found her in her room underneath the blankets on her bed. I lifted the blanket and she smiled and held out the toy "daddy" from her doll house set. "Look Momma, it's a Daddy! I see my Daddy tomorrow? My big Daddy? I miss him."

Yesterday she picked a dandelion from the yard and was sniffing it as I was putting her in her car seat. "Does it smell good?" I asked her. "Yep. Mmmm." "What does it smell like?" "It smells like my NOSE! And BOOGERS!"

we've been busy doing busy things. like moving. and unpacking. [again]. painting. organizing. paying bills. cleaning. and trying to stay dry from the rain. but we're making it out of this dark tunnel and into the sunshine.

i'll try to remember to blog. since i've totally slacked on the baby books and i want these memories to be documented.

but with wyatt on the move (and fast!) it's a full time job- wrangling.

my girl is 2 and a half and wy is 9 months already!

wy can say/do "so big" "daddaa" "bababa"  and we are working on clapping. he can pull himself up, crawl, sit- up. he's very social, cuddly, and laid back.

stella is such a sweet girl. she dotes on her brother. she reads me books. she loves playing outside. and we're still working on potty training.
