Stella's 2nd Cousin, Alec

 My cousin Jeremy and his 3 kids, along with Aunt Snookie, are Up North with us and let me tell you something, Alec, who is 13 yrs. old, who is Stella's 2nd cousin, is AWESOME with Stella!   This is not very typical of most 13 yr. old boys but a good portion of Alec's bringing up was surrounded by kids when his mom ran a daycare out of their home.  I've been referring to him as Stella's "Manny" - it's been nice, real nice ;)  gives me a chance to knit this poncho someone commissioned me to do for their granddaughter!
