Stella is just the right size now to wear this sweet little shirt that was a gift from (great) Grandma Rosie. A shirt that Grandma Jan wore as a baby!
Here she is wearing it around the house and out at the zoo this morning…
Stella is getting really into “reading” these days, so we are digging out all the old board books that Lucas has gotten bored of. And Brown Bear is by far her favorite. She love love loves this book.
So of course, Lucas has also now decided that this is his favorite book again. But now he can read it himself….

Last weekend we celebrated Stella’s first birthday, hard to believe that it’s already here!
We had a fun family birthday for her on Sunday, with cupcakes and singing…

It was hot hot hot last weekend, so we had a lot of popsicles, which Stella LOVES
And had her first visit to a splash park, also a BIG FAN. People were laughing out loud at how adventurous she was with the fountains. She would walk up and just stick her face right down in the water and come up laughing. Big fun.
On Saturday we hosted a pot-luck brunch with lots of food, good friends, some Stella inspired mimosas (which she didn’t partake in) and some cupcakes (which she did).
She got some new toys, which she loves!
But is also equally thrilled with the bathroom sink….go figure.

Enjoying an afternoon in the park. Hot, but not as bad as last week during the heat wave. And that breeze when in the swings is oh so good!
We had a fun fun weekend in Houston, for Pat and Lori’s wedding on May 18th. We stayed at the Magnolia Hotel downtown, very nice. Here are a few photos of the weekend. More pics (with captions) are on the photos page.
