Kinney Playdate Spectacular





Mommy decided to brave having over 8+ children and their mommies the week Daddy was traveling to London. We guess she figured the mayhem would help her kill the time with us crazy babies ;) It certainly did! We had a blast with our friends and their moms. Thanks for coming all and happy summer!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!








This weekend was full of fun, sun and lots of food. This morning we had brunch with all of the dads (Daddy J, Grampy, Papa Paul, Uncle Dave) and the whole family and then Stella headed off to her violin lesson. After naps, we hit the backyard for some pool time and bbq. Daddy whipped up some mean burgers on the grill (I know! We made him work on Father's day)!

It was a wonderful weekend for our wonderful dad. Thanks to our special grandpas, too, for always being there. We love you!
Happy Father's Day!

So many changes...



























Well, first off, I suppose it's time Sis and I let the cat out of the bag on Mommy's ever-growing belly. We are having another baby! Not sure of the gender quite yet, but the little bug is due December 9th and we couldn't be more excited. We like to look at Mommy's ultrasound pictures and ooh and aahh at how big the baby is getting. Mommy and Daddy often feel like crazy people and wonder how they'll handle three, but we say, the more the merrier! ;)

These past two weeks have involved many changes... some big, some small. Our beloved nanny, Aris, who has been with us for the past year, two days a week, is off to the chapel to get married. We loved her so and are very sad to see her go, but are happy she found her Prince Charming and know she will be back to visit often. Thankfully, Mommy has found 2 possible replacements and should have that finalized this next week. Still, we will miss Aris' smiling face, her ease at making us laugh and sing and play, and her ability to multitask around the house, giving Mommy a much needed break. We love you, Aris! xoxo

On a lighter note, we got haircuts last week-- thanks, Uncle Heath :). Went to my cousin's 30th birthday party and played some more in the amazing baby pool M&D got for us. Swimming lessons start next week and I just had my second violin lesson. We are getting so big and so many fun things are happening, we just can't keep count! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Love,

Stella (and Vio). xoxo
