Mornings

I love mornings around here. While Phoebe nurses or dozes - both equally adorable at this stage - Stella goes to work. She bakes, paints, sings, plays with water and bubbles, builds aquariums and zoos out of blocks and legos... you name it. She's industrious and focused, and I love watching her create such thrilling and engaging worlds for herself. Sure, I'm there to taste a "moldy pie," crack an egg or prompt a new path for a block path, but she's the true master mind. And I feel so very lucky to stand back in awe of such creativity and joy.

(And Vinnie is more than thrilled to be Stella's partner in crime.)
