We had a great weekend that included celebrating Stella's third birthday. This year we had a small gathering with Grammie and Pa, Aunt Mary Jane, Cousin Logan, and Stella's little friend Gigi and her family. Daddy took the big girls on a Dora Adventure to find the pile of presents - through a spider web, collecting banana's for boots, and finding Swiper hidden in the couch. Stella had fun and loved the bouquet of balloons Grammie and Pa brought with them and the Dora cake she told her Aunt Mary Jane she wanted a few weeks back. We continue to feel so very blessed for our happy little family and the loved ones we get to share our lives with.
With each passing year this day brings mixed emotions along with it. A vigorous trip to Trey's spot on Friday morning was definitely a trek - through snow up to your knees. Stella and Claire bring so much joy to our lives but are also a reminder of what we are missing out on having Trey no longer with us. Right now we are most grateful that Stella is unaware (and Claire too) of the piece of our family that will always be missing.
A belated Happy Birthday to Stella. It sounds like a fun party. I hope you have a healthy and happy 2013. I am sure eventually the girls will want to know all about Trey, you certainly did have alot of snow to wade through! I look forward to the blog so keep doing it!!---Sue Thomas
