This time last year was a sad, sad time. On December 7, we said goodbye to our sweet little Stella, and it was hard to imagine Christmas without her, let alone the coming year. We miss her more than she’ll ever know, and we think about her everyday. She will always be our Stella.

Recently though, Christmas came early and we welcomed a new little girl into our family. Her name is Pearl and she is wonderful. Although we see a lot of Stella in her, she is her own little character and we are so looking forward to getting to know her.
