Sibling love.

Wowzers!    I haven't posted in ages!)   This one is for Jackie, my dear cousin.  I think most people are posting to Facebook nowadays, being that I am not on Facebook and these 3 darlings/devils keep me on my toes, I am not posting much.  Here are some recent pictures (March/April)  of Sammy (turning 6 on May 27th), Tommy (3 and 1/2), and Stella (20 months).

Stella is almost 1!!!!!!!

 u
I can't believe that Stella is going to be 1 in less than a week.  It has been a true pleasure to share her first year with year with her.  She is an amazingly sweet little girl.

Baptism

Stella had her baptism, and she did a wonderful job.   She was a little "high maintenance" for the first 10 minutes or so, but I wouldn't expect anything else from our princess.  I, of course, did not get any pictures of her by herself in her christening gown, so I will have to try to fake some photos!)  

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

All cuddled up....

 Seriously, the boys watch TV like this.  Sam and Tommy are getting along wonderfully, well playing together tons, there are plenty of brotherly fights.  Tommy is just beginning to watch TV and I think he may do so in part to cuddle with Sam.

And delicate Stella still needs lots of sleep.  She is 4 1/2 months old now and I just couldn't resist this photo.

Whats goin on...........

 First fire place at new home.

 Stella is 4 months!

 Tommy has coined Stella's nickname "Lellie"....and we call her that often.

 I can't get a picture of the 3 of them to save my life, hence our Christmas card......

Impossible.

Sleepy Baby

When it comes to sleep, thankfully Stella takes after big brother Tommy who slept 23 out of 24 hours for the first 6 weeks.  Sam on the other hand was awake for 6 to 8 hours a day from the first day home and I hardly knew what to do with him!   HAPPY 1 MONTH STELLA!!  (on Oct 17)
