Memorial Day...

Our Memorial Day holiday was very low key. We had a BBQ down by the pool and just relaxed. It was Aunt Jill's last day visiting before she flew out back to Los Angeles...

This is what I woke up to this morning...

I woke up to this scene this morning and it melted my heart. I grabbed my camera
once again and started snapping away.  And Stella is 1 week old today too!

Auntie Jill comes to meet her new niece...









Stella's first Bathies...

Stella had her first bathies today.  She actually liked it and I 
cannot wait for her umbilical cord to fall off so she can 
take a real bathies in the tub with mommy...







Stella loves getting her hair washed.  She truly is her mothers daughter!


All clean and done!

My little family...

Our first morning home from the hospital, we are finally all together as a family 
and this is what I woke up to in the kitchen...



Daddy's Girl...

I couldn't help myself with these pictures.  I posted way to many of them but had a hard 
time choosing which ones to post or not post. Andrew and Stella had fallen asleep 
together and the early morning light was perfect!
I grabbed my camera and went to town...











 Daddy kisses are the best...

Crazy Hair Day...

Every year, on the last week of school they have crazy hair day.
This was the style Brooke opted for...



The Love of a Nana

I love these pictures! This was our first day home from the hospital and 
my wonderful mummy was staying with us to help out the first
week we were home.  She had been so busy helping with grocery 
shopping, running Brooke to and from school and cooking dinner that
she hadn't had time to hold baby Stella until then. I was able
to capture it on camera. You can see the joy in both
mummy's eyes and in baby Stella's.  I don't know what we 
would have done without mummy's help and support during
the first week.  Thank you again for all that you do mummy.
For me, my husband and my girls!
WE LOVE YOU!





Going home from the Hospital...

I love this...  Stella looks like a little elf being squished into her car seat for
her first car ride home from the hospital.





Ahhh, home at last and tired from the whole ordeal of leaving the hospital...







 Big sister Brooke got home from school and ran straight to her sister!
