We broke in the fire pit for family night tonight. The verdict: money very well spent.

Daniel enjoying a s'more. (and being cold)

Lincoln, and the newest hole in his mouth. He lost the tooth last night and decided once again, not to sell it to the Tooth Fairy.
(the way he talks now is just too cute to be believed)

Jack, as charming as ever. He got hit with a nasty cold this weekend,
but I think he's on the mend.
His latest funny: His standard banana knock-knock joke, but if you don't laugh hard enough at the end, he'll look at you very seriously and say, "Joke."

And last, but not least, Sweet Stella. She weighed in at 18.5 lbs at her Doctor's appointment last week. The boys are all immensely proud of her chub and kept going on and on about their fat baby at the appointment. The nurse must have been sensitive about that issue, because she kept insisting that Stella was not fat; she was "just perfect."

I think they're all right. Stella's incredibly fat, and that's just perfect.

Daniel did a sweet thing last Saturday. It was his turn-out with Joe and he decided that he wanted to use it to plan a party for the family. They bought balloons and candy and flowers for Stella and I (my tulips are yellow, Stella's are pink). When they got home, we all decorated together, ate our treats, had a dance party, and took turns playing bubble breaker on Joe's cell phone. Daniel declared it Saturday Holiday. It was a great day, indeed.
