I am finding it a struggle just to think about school, work, my future these days so I hope that another movie can serve to show some of the amazing stuff Stella is doing these days. E is finishing up her tenure application and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It [...]
I think today is Maggie’s birthday. It is hard to believe that we haven’t met her yet!
A majority of Stella’s clothes are great hand-me-downs from Maggie and we think about her (and her sister) often.
We had a restless night last night. Stella slept great but Ellen and I were restless and couldn’t fall asleep and when we did sleep we woke up again. The dog was sick. I think it is time for us to rent a carpet cleaner/steamer or get someone to do it for us. In any [...]

He also brought along several girly outfits which were gifts from his in-laws. Other than pink onesies (handed down from Stella’s friends Hedy [...]
We’ve added a new family member this week…Stella Kate! She was born on Tuesday at 1pm and weighs in at 8 lbs and stretches out to 20 inches. I will have more to say on this wonderful girl and the amazing mom that gave birth to her as well as the patient puppy that is [...]
E & I are ready for this baby now that our trips have been taken, the baby room has been painted, and the baby stuff has been put away neatly in drawers.
We had painting help from this guy (not the one in the gokart):
