Michael

What a gorgous day at the beach! Zoe was at school so we got some alone time with Michael and Ryan (who slept in his carrage the entire time)! Michael really got a kick out of the sand- it is so cool to watch him experiance things for the first time- such a beatiful sight... the world through the eyes of a child. I hope the weather stays nice so we can enjoy more afternoons in the sand!

Stolen Moments

Some of our best moments in life are those that are not planned. Yesterday afternoon Zoe was begging me to go outside with her and play. I just got both of the boys down for naps and all I wanted to do was lay on the couch and take a nap myself! Instead we went outside together-just the two of us -without the babies. I enjoyed her so much and I realized how little time I have spent with her since bringing Ryan home. She couldn't wait to show me all of the flowers that are growing in our yard. She was so happy to be alone with me the smile didn't leave her face! It was the best part of my day.

Ryan

Ryan is almost 4 weeks old already! Time is flying- it is scary how quickly the past 4 weeks have gone by! He is my angel baby. Three is a charm!!

Cousins

I love this picture! Zoe and Michael had so much fun plaing with their cousin Patrick! The play room was a mess.....I think every toy was out! They had a great day together.

Zoe is such a great big sister!! This is the first time she held Ryan, and she was so happy!

Jack Edward

Today we had a wonderful visit with my God son Jack and my best friend Ali. It was so nice to see them- it had been too long and Jack got soooo big!! What a cutie!

Welcome baby Ryan

On March 20th we had our 3rd child- Ryan Kenneth Vella. We didn't know if he ws a boy or a girl and the surprise was wonderful!! He is such a good baby!
