I’m a day behind on this but only because I wanted to marinate in the words I chose for my baby turning 13. This firecracker came in with a loud cry and has been the star of the show ever since. Literally. Its so fun looking at these pictures of her growing up. She has never stopped smiling or making us laugh. Stella has the biggest heart and the loudest voice. She can entertain you with her wit as well as being a goof. It’s like she was made to be a comedian….I don’t know where she gets it…I’m not that funny and neither is Brad-no offense. I think more than her intelligence or athletic prowess I am most proud of her caring nature and optimistic demeanor. I know she is getting older and it won’t always be as easy breezy (like when Covid takes your party away) as she has made it look but she has taught me so much about enjoying life and I can’t wait to see where it takes her. She is the whole firework show of our lives and we love her soooo much!

No children were harmed in the making of these pictures
