First TEA PARTY

Tea anyone ?  Adrien was invited to a super cute tea party for his friend Isabel's birthday.  He  had a blast and loved playing with his buddy Garret.

they all had fun and it was so well decorated and thought out !  a very nice time with our friends.

Stella is getting more social and super smiley.  Here is she is hanging out with Amber :)

Stella's FIRST BISCUIT  a Mum Mum .... :) She loves it !

FIRST CAROUSEL RIDE - Stella's first ride with Adrien and I :)

FIRST NIGHT IN HER BEDROOM

Stella spent her first night in her bed  & bedroom upstairs all by herself :) YAY for our sweet big girl !!
She seems to love being in her room, she smiles when she gets in and smiles when I go get her.  she still wakes up twice a night but it is getting better !  Good job Stella Bella !!

early morning playtime in Adrien's room :) with his pirates --ARGH   Matey :)

Adrien showing me where he lives and where his dad travels.  Whenever he plays pretend he always mentions one of the countries that Chris travels to, on Saturday he said with his backpack :" bye Maman, I have to a big job in Mexico but I'll be back soon.  Be good Stella :) "

 We had our FIRST BBQ outside of the year !  We've been eating clean at home and served the burgers with watermelon, strawberries and carrots (and adrien had a few snap crisp peas)

 lean burger on whole wheat bun with tomatoe, avocado, garlic, cilantro, chili powder and feta .... MMMH !! the best burger we've made so far :)

Papa is back home !! YAY ! Adrien and Stella were so excited :) 

three's company :)

Adrien, Stella and I had a fun weekend together !  I could have easily gone to bed with them at 7:30pm on Sunday night :) It was so worth it.  Adrien gave me a big hug at bedtime and thanked me for having such a great time.  It made me feel so good ! 

On Saturday morning I did my usual run with the double stroller.  I usually run to the park , run a few rounds and run back home.  This time Adrien asked if he could run with me at the park, so I let him.  He surprised me by going all around Stovall by my side (I slowed down a bit :) ) He ran 1 mile !  He was so happy, laughing, breathing in/out, and greeting everyone he met with a cheerful:"good morning" .  It was really cute ! 

We also got to see horses, butterflies, and a little rabbit on the way.  Adrien thought it was so much fun !   Stella was sound asleep , I got a great run so all in all it was an awesome morning.  As soon as we came home, Adrien had to skype with his papa and papy & mamie to tell them all about it. 

On Sunday morning we all went to the zoo and had a picnic there.  Adrien is fascinated by animals and surprised me with all the facts he knows about animals, what they eat, where they live.  Stella really enjoyed looking at the animals. Adrien got to do the wall climbing and went a little higher than last time.  

The big test of the day was taking the little train inside the zoo.  Adrien was hoping Stella would like it because he wants her to take the FW mini train with him.  He got so proud of his little sister when he saw she liked it too.  It was sweet ! 

Here are a few pics :)
