Friday, I worked until about noon, and Mom came up to spend the day with us. We ended up going to the zoo -- Stella's 1st time! We had a great time, as the weather was perfect, and Mom's a big fan of the zoo. She and "Fia" (Jack's nickname for Sofia -- we all use it now too) went on the carousel -- see pics below. It's SO nice to have my parents so close so that they can watch the girls grow! Mom left around dinner time, and the "the girls" and I went over to Sell and Em's place so that they could play with their new friend Marley. They made us dinner, which was outstanding, and we got to catch up with them -- it'd been awhile!
Saturday we kind of just hung around home. Ang did a ton of cleaning and Sofia and I went to the gym. After I worked out, I took her swimming. She's a big fan of the water now, which is great, because I plan to take her to the sand-bottom pool here in Shakopee often this summer. I was on water skis when I was 5, and I'm preparing her tubing over the 4th of July, as we'll be heading back to Yankton to camp. We can't wait!
Sunday Mom came up to hang with the girls again, and Dad, Marty, James and I hit the Twins game. It was good to have a day out with the guys -- we don't do that often enough! I'm sure Ang was happy to get rid of me for a few hours as well. The girls played with Grandma most of the day. We spent the evening inside and hit the sack early.
Memorial Day we got up and did a little shopping. Sofia loves to play in the kid's area at Eden Prairie Center -- we returned a couple of things and just watched her climb around. She's incredibly agile and loves to climb. Apparently Ang was a big climber when she was young too -- maybe all the stretching will help her grow into some long legs like her mom? We'd planned to grill when we got home from the mall, but decided we were far too hungry so we got a pizza and crashed on the couch! We did end up going for a walk & to the park, where one of the pics below was taken.
Whew -- I guess I did have a lot to say. You're probably thinking, "Boy, he sure didn't have much to say about Stella!" Truth is, she's perfect! She's eating well, sleeping well, travelling well, playing at the park well -- she hardly makes a peep. She just chills all the time. At this point, we're thinking that she may be the "laid back sister"? I can't wait to find out!
Hugs to all -- hope to see some more of you soon! I hope you enjoy the pics. Oh, and if you visit the site, please leave a comment -- I type 8 paragraphs and you can't even say "hello"? Come on...
Jer, Ang, Fia and Stella

Hi Limoges Family,
Thanks you for the pictures and the update on your family. I know Granny Carla enjoyed her time with all of you. Good pictures, the girls are darling. Can't wait to see Stella but also Fia, and their parents. By chance, are you going to Waseca June 23rd? Matt, Sandy, Cassie and I are coming up for Martin's play. We will go on Sat forenoon and come home on Sunday. I am looking forward to the play and seeing everyone and seeing Dave & Carla's place. I hear the play is very good, a friend of mine has seen it.
I suppose Carla told you that I am going to be a
GREAT grandma!! Am I really old enough? Sara was having an ultrasound this week so we should have some more info soon.
Not much news I guess bur sure do enjoy hearing from you.
Love you all
Isabel
