There never was a
Child so lovely but his
Mother was glad to see him asleep.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ok - I'm going to go all-mom on you today. It is my baby's 4 month birthday. It is inevitable, some of you who aren't parents yet are going to say..."Oh, big whoop...here she goes again about that kid of hers"...it's probably what I would have said...em, about 4 months ago. But 4 months can change a lot of things. Four months have turned me into an emotional sap, I mean, geez, when I see a tv commercial about car safety and babies, I bawl. Yeah, I'm that person now. I never thought I would be that person. And, when I put this little guy down for a nap, or to sleep at night...while, I relish the alone time to get work done, or finish a little project here and there...I miss him while he sleeps. Fiercely. But it is a beautiful thing when he does...it is in those moments that I can take a rare, silent moment....breathe it all in...and be thankful for the blessing of motherhood.

Dear Stella,
It's your long-lost love, Stewie. No, not your brother from another mother.....Stewie Newman. Your mom has my picture. I was thinking of putting my profile on e-barkony.com but not if you are still single.
Stay spicy.
Licks from Watertown.

My little Santa Baby...
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo

Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me

Who says you can't wear white to a wedding?!Four a.m. can't come soon enough for Stella.
Now if she could only remember where she put that martini shaker...
Dianna says:
Well, at least she is classy enough to know she must wear something on her head! If she can't find the martini shaker..I am sure Seth could give her some wine! That should do...
Jilly says:
Awww....Stella is a princess in my heart. I hope that she enjoyed watching the wedding!
