Story Time & Lunch At The Park

The Fall session of Storytime started today at the Sylvania Library and Stella really enjoyed it.  Afterwards, Jill & Davis along with Erika & Caitlyn headed over to Pacesetter Park for a packed lunch and some playground fun.  It was an absolutely beautiful day for this and hopefully we are able to do this every Wed. weather permitting!

Davis and Stella love mulch.

Mama-razzi Monday!

Stella Jane Clark was spotted on September 13, 2010 enjoying a fun-filled afternoon with her very first babysitter, Tonya!

And it has been stated by Stella's mommy:  "Tonya was wonderful and more than i could ask for when it comes to a mom, and mind you first-time mommy, and her first babysitter."

You may ask Why:  here are the Top 10 Reasons Why Tonya Is An Awesome Babysitter:

1.  She's wonderful with Stella.

2. She loves babies and kids and her experience with them clearly shows.

3. She showed up and her first question to me was "before i forgot, does Stella have any food allergies
    that i need to be aware of?"

4. When offered to learn how to hop online on my computer, during Stella's napping, she replied with  
    "no that's ok, i don't need to do that."

5.  She is working on being a teacher for 3rd grade and below.

6.  She informed me that she googled the heimlic and cpr for Babies.

7. She was a volunteer youth counselour at YMCA.

8. She even stuck around a little bit after she was officially "done" sitting and held Stella, fed her grapes (quartered of course) and chit chatted with me, allowing me to put away the groceries i just picked up.

9.  She's easy to talk to and friendly.

10. And if i didn't mention it already, i know i did ;), she was WONDERFUL with Stella!

Thank you Tonya, we'll see you again soon and Stella can't wait - she was having alot of fun with you i know, i could tell when i came into the house after being gone.

Silly Stella

Fondue with a Friend, gotta love it.

So it's been over a year now since little Stella was born and last night was the first time i really felt the itch to get out - even just for an hour or so for a drink.  So i texted my good friend, Jill, she is the mom of of Davis, we do our Zoos-day Tuesdays together, Reading Time at the Library, Kindermusic, we are two very active mommies with our babes always venturing out on the town.  Thanks Jill - the Blue Moon beer and a half (hee hee, we split the 2nd one - we didn't want to get tooooo crazy now) and the dessert fondue & chit chat with a friend was just what i needed!
