Here Comes the Bride

This is Stella's new dress that I have to hide so she doesn't put it on every single day. While she usually gets to pick out at least part of her outfit (which doesn't always match), I draw the line at this sort of nonsense.

Glamour Shots

The girls had a photo shoot together, complements of my fabulous photographer friend Mary.






Okay, photo shoot is over.

Smiley Face

Happy to see me or just filled her diaper? I can't tell.

Free Muffin Buffet

Since my mom is in town, we had to go to Costco because she loves checking out everything there. She and Stella and I were browsing the bakery, admiring the rows and rows of gargantuan muffins. After we walked away, this is what happened:

Stella: I ate a BIG bite of muffin!
Me: That's great...wait, you did what?
Stella: I ate a BIG bite of muffin!
Me: You ate one of the muffins over there?
Stella: Yes.
Me: Will you show me which one?

Sure enough, she had poked her finger through the plastic wrap of a six-pack of muffins and dug out a big chunk. I had two options at this point: walk away like I didn't see anything or buy them. For purely ethical reasons, I put the delicious double chocolate muffins
in our cart and we may or may not have eaten two of them as we shopped.

Of course we were thirsty after that, so we opened a box of Capri Suns and helped ourselves to a few of those. I wonder if Costco prefers people to eat their goods before or after paying for them.

Ready for Basketball

Macy's two-week check-up put her in the 70th percentile for height; where in the Owens and Upstill family tree did that come from? I guarantee it won't last.


On a side note, that's some serious bedhead, Stella.

Pinkalicious

Stella decked herself out in pink, so Macy decided to follow suit.

It's (Finally) a Girl!



If you haven't met Macy yet, you should know she is very punctual, just like her father. She came into the world precisely on her dute date, not a day earlier or later. Stella seems to like her new sister so we'll be keeping her. And now for some stats...

Name: Macy Renee Upstill
Weight: 6 lbs 7 oz
Height: 18.5 in
Birthday: January 3, 2011
