Bella's First Friend

There are approximately 80 million reasons why we are happy that we moved back to San Diego.  However, there are still a very important handful of things we miss about Phoenix.

Phoenix was good to us overall.  Sean and I met, fell in love and married there.  I, at the young age of 27, helped build a now thriving company.  We started our family there (well kinda).  We made good friends in Phoenix too, but more importantly that's where Bella made her first friend, Stella.  Yep, you read correctly; I said Stella.  Can you stand it?  Stella and Bella.  Eeek!  Too cute for words and they are only 4 days apart in age; Stella being younger.

We were super excited that we met Stella and the bonus was that she was a neighbor and lived about a block down the street.  BONUS!  The "Ellas" as we started to refer to the girls as couldn't have been more opposite except for the fact that they are both the sweetest little loves your heart could possibly imagine.  EXTRA BONUS ... Stella's family is amazing too!  We miss the Hinskis.  Stella's Mom, Sandra, and I had lots in common; she even understood what I do for work!  That's saying a lot since most people don't understand what I do. I miss our morning coffee dates with our beautiful daughters.

We loved watching them together.  Bella was always reaching out to hold Stella's hand or to touch her.  Stella even came and took Baby Splash classes with us.

My Mom even made them matching outfits.

We love you Stella Rose!  We miss your sweet face and your mommy, daddy, and brother too!
