"Baby Kyle Here!"

Stella was thrilled to have "baby Kyle" and his mom and dad visit us last weekend. Despite my battle with influenza, (yes, I really had it, I had an official exam from the doctor and it's sort of a miserable little test) we were able to enjoy our time with our guests.
This visit marked the third year that we were able to celebrate Nick and Gail's birthdays together. We hope it's a tradition that will last a VERY long time!
Nick rang in 30 with much class and little hesitancy towards leaving his 20s. Probably because he's been telling people that he's 45 for about 10 years now. ;) We enjoyed a week long celebration for him and concluded it with illness on my part and Stella's. We think everyone is on the mend, but it's slow going around here.

Welcome! Let me show you the ropes around here...

As long as you lay around and look cute you'll be fine!

Check out those cheeks! Love 'em!

The daddies with their babes!

Next up, preparing for Stella's birthday week. That's right...just one week until we hit 2!!! WOW! Time really does go fast.
Grandma and Grandpa Freeman arrive on Thursday for a long weekend visit and then we head off to FL the following week for a belated celebration with Grandma and Grandpa Bettcher! So much fun!!!
Much love to you today and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
