Stella is hanging around my neck giving me zerberts. She is the most fun, delightful little being I have ever met in my life. I know that I am her mother so it doesn't count, but it's true. She is in the terrible two mode and it can definitely be hard at times, but at the same time it has never been so fun. She has recently sprouted a great imagination. She likes to play a game called hide from the monsters and pic the berries from the ceiling and feed them to mom and dad. She loves kitty mew mews and Odle, and Odle is just now starting to love Stella as well.... Leila and family came over for thanksgiving this weekend. It was fun as usual. Always too much indulgence and laughing until we're crying. We cut down the christmas tree in the new minivan, and managed to get a guy stuck in a bronco. woops!
