Thanks Jenell for the photos!

Jenell snapped these great photos of the girls at her house on Friday.

Mmmmmm....Yogurt

Maia is learning how to eat on her own with a spoon and fork....what an adorable mess it is!

The Pledge of Allegiance

Farmers Market

We enjoyed the sunshine and had a great time at the Issaquah Farmers Market this weekend. The girls danced to a live band, we bought delicious fresh bread, Stella got a lollipop and we contemplated buying a pet frog. Lucky for Stefano the vendor only took cash and we didn't have enough with us.

I posted all 3 photos just to show how nearly impossible it is to take one with both girls looking at the camera AND smiling. One day it will happen.

Stella Turns 3

It's hard to believe it's been 3 years since Stella made her early and surprise appearance in our lives. We had such a fabulous time celebrating her big day today (on Mother's Day!) as a family and with good friends. She definitely loved getting lots of presents and was able to Skype with relatives in Italy, CA and MA. Here's to a fabulous and fun next year with our Stella Bella!

An Early 3rd Birthday Celebration at School

Stella was beyond excited to have Maia come in and join her and her friends for an early birthday celebration that included cupcakes! Stella couldn't stop smiling the entire time. She is really excited to turn 3 tomorrow!

Flower Girl

Remember to always take time to smell....or pick....the flowers :)

Grandma's Visit

The girls had a fabulous weekend with Grandma in town! They painted, read books, went to the farm, went to the park and ate pizza. Can't wait for the next visit Grandma.
