For the grandparents...

...here are some pictures recently taken with you in mind. :)



Grandpa Dave, look how cute I look in my dress!




We're so excited to see you, Gma, Gpa, Uncle Todd, Auntie Anna & Uncle Steve, in 2 weeks!!





Gpa & Gma Hays, look how much fun I'm having on my trike!


We took the trike out for a spin a few evenings ago, and Stella had a blast. She hasn't figured out the pedaling, or the steering, but that's what I'm there for! She thinks she is such a big girl riding on this thing. :)



A few more pictures of fun in the backyard (we LOVE our huge backyard!):






Fun at the park last week with Cole:


I realise I haven't posted an actual update on anything in a while, only pictures, and I hope to remedy that soon. We've all been sick today though, and I need to get to sleep, now that it sounds like Stella has finally drifted off (no more chattering coming from her room). Just know that the baby, or "Stellb" as Grandpa Dave has oh-so-cleverly nicknamed him/her, is doing well by all accounts and should be joining us around Auntie Anna's birthday in early-mid November.

PS Stella also got her first haircut. Check out the bangs! Now she looks super grown up. And more adorable, if that's even possible.

She does look so grown up!!!! If that trike looked a little more vintage, I'd swear it was a picture of YOU as kid. I like the Stellb name...it's so...dad. Your back yard is HUGE, how wonderful to have so much room. We can't wait to see YOU two weeks from TODAY!!!!!

Oh Happy Day! A feast for the eyes and especially for the heart. You have brought tears to my eyes, and deep joy to my soul. I'm counting down the days :)
