So we got a whole bunch of fresh new snow the last few days and I thought Stella would have fun in it. She got this great snow suit from Grandma Shauna for Christmas and it was the perfect chance to try it out. Apparently Raleigh has been brain washing Stella into thinking that snow is evil as you can see in the pictures.

Stella thinking about liking the snow.
Maybe.....
Not so sure.....
and she hates it!!

So I thought I would try to get some new pics of Stella. She is not very cooperative when the camera is there.

Look at those curls! I am not sure where they come from.

Here is a little catch up on the last year and a half...

So I have been terrible about working on this blog. Thanks Lili for pushing me to get it going. A lot has happened in the last year and a half. Our beautiful Stella in now 16 months old and quickly developing a mind of her own. I thought since I have been so bad at this blog so far I should show some of my favorite pictures. The latest of course is of the new baby. We can't wait to meet this new little person.

Here is our first photo of our baby (boy?). The doctor says it sure looks like a boy but is still too early to tell for sure.
Here is Daddy attempting to instruct Stella in the art of golf.

Here is Stella Christmas morning with her haul from Santa. She wasn't quite awake yet.
