Sorry for the lack of updates. We have been so busy around here! We have moved into our new house (pictures will come as soon as it doesn't look like a tornado went through), celebrated Halloween, and had the Black family in for a visit. As you can see, taking pictures has become increasingly difficult with Stella. I can take 25 pictures and only get one or two that are not the back of her head. There was a professional photographer at her school for school pictures and another for Halloween and she refused to pose for both. I was heartbroken because on both days she looked adorable, but she would not set foot in the room with the photographer. She also refused to wear her costume to trick or treat, but wore it all day at school. Two year olds can be tough to convince to do anything.

We had the Black family come to visit this weekend. We had such a great time with them and getting to know Owen. He is adorable! Stella showed her tender side with Owen ("Coen") and we were really proud of how sweet she was with him. We hope she will be that way with her little brother or sister.
