A special post for Grammy & Grandpy 2 in Florida!

Dear Grammy& Grandpy 2,

I heard that you were having troubles viewing these pictures through your email so I had mom set them up on her blog just for you! I hope that you are having a good time in Florida and enjoying some of that Florida sun like I did last year with you!

Anyway I wanted to let you know what I have been up to since you left! I finally have enough hair to put in a ponytail! Although mom had to put right on the top of my head! Today a ponytail next week pigtails! I have also had a lot of fun playing peek a boo with Lola. Sometimes she doesn't want to play and just licks my face, but I have been helping Mom & Dad by taking care of Lola while they are cooking dinner by playing with her! Last but not least I have been enjoying my new pink sweatshirt you bought me! I have really needed is as it has been very chilly her in Minnesota! Well I have lots of playing to do and I hope to talk to you soon!

Love, Stella

A little girl knows the way to her daddy's heart!

Well as you can see from my lack of posting it has been a very busy January! Sometimes the bussiness makes me happy because it makes the weekdays go by faster and I can get to the weekends and spend time with my family, but it also makes me a little sad because I think that the quicker the days go by the quicker Stella grows up!!!! (Enough of my mother pitty party! LOL)

So today our family headed out to Welch Village Ski area for our Sunday Courage skiing with Ryans little brother Adam. Of course Stella is not quite to the point where she can get on a pair of skis, but she really enjoys the time she gets to spend with Grandma and Grandpa Paske while Mom & Dad ski. Today as she was hanging out with grandma and grandpa watching all the skiiers out side she truly became daddy's litle girl. As she was looking out the big picture window she points outside and says "Skiiiii" followed by "kno" (translated for those of you not fluent in baby talk that was "snow".) I thought that maybe it was a fluke so I had to "test" her out so I asked her what was outside? Again she points and says "skiii" & "knooooo" The news put a huge smile across Ryan's face and I can tell he is just itching to get out on those ski hills with him!
