birthday weekend

 Happy birthday Cricri :) Adrien was happy to help him blow the candles.  Next year we'll have a party for the big 40 birthday :)

 another try at a family picture ...getting a little better ;)

we went to Big Gus birthday :) He was one !

 It was wonderful to see lots of our friends there

 Debi organized a fun tailgating party for Gus

 Adrien had a blast playing with Garrett and some of his new toys

Stella discovered the baby einstein jumparoo 

 all cuddled up for our walk

 Adrien wanted to take a picture of me

 Adrien was a chef worm - when I asked him why he took off his clothes : " worms don't wear clothes but a chef needs an apron... " very logical explanation !

just relaxing, wondering when mommy will stop taking pictures all the time ;)

just pics

 Somebody is teething :)

 a little trip to yummylicious to thank Adrien for being so sweet

 Stella found her hands :)

 Practicing hard now that the Basketball season started

 Hanging out with Stella when Adrien is at school

 Amber and the boys came over to play, Stella enjoyed being in her arms

 a game of croquet :) we had fun playing together

Adrien  Getting the truck loaded up for our daily walk with Duff and Stella in the stroller

 (I noticed that Stella always has the same look in pictures, she smiles before and when she sees the camera she starts frowning a little and focusing her look on the camera... so she looks super serious in pictures.  She'll get used to it eventually  :)

 Adrien loves kissing his little sister - and she always looks everywhere for him

 February is Congenital Heart Disease awareness month so the kids are wearing red for all the little heart warriors and especially for the sweet & strong baby EVAN Hounsel (2 weeks old) - we love you Craig, Czarina, Iz and Evan !!
