Welcome To The World, Kendra Grace

One of my great friends from home, Jolene and her husband Josh, had a baby girl last Friday. They named her Kendra Grace...and she's perfect! I was so thankful to be able to go visit Jolene yesterday before heading back to St. Cloud. Was thankful to borrow baby girl clothes to her as well! While going through the tub of clothes, hard to believe Roslyn was that little, and such a short time ago!

Nothing better than holding a newborn on your chest. I was in HEAVEN!

So thankful for great friends!

Jolene looks incredible for having a 9 lb. 5 oz. baby girl! Jolene is amazing!

So happy for Jolene that she got her baby girl! She was pregnant at our wedding back in 2005 with Keagan...5 1/2 years later she and Josh get baby #2! So awesome!

Let's Go Duke!!!!

On Saturday the kids had a Duke Photo Shoot...they enjoyed it for the most part!

Sibling Love at its Finest!

Can you say future cheerleader Roz? Jake told her to keep a nickle between her knees, ha!

The most beautiful Duke cheerleader...ever!

Both kids love to dance in front of our mirror in our bedroom.


Roslyn loves to talk on her cell phone that Auntie Heather and Uncle Adam gave her for Christmas...thanks Kay's!

Fun Times In January

Despite the treacherous weather conditions Minnesota has faced the last couple weeks, the kids are in GOOD SPIRITS! Wish we could take them outside to play more, but it's too dang cold. So instead, we have fun at the dinner table. Saturday morning Roz had fun putting syrup in her hair...maybe a future hair stylist?

The kids were making each other laugh after lunch yesterday! It was hilarious watching them giggle back and forth!


Jake and I both thought the kids looked like "Goth" kids with black lipstick. Their chocolate pudding was everywhere, too fun!


Roslyn was trying to be like "Sister Perpetua" in the tub the other day. Gotta love it!

The side profile of Nun Rozzie!

What one child does, the other one has to do. It's pretty comical at times.

Pope Andray??????????

Apparently Roz still wanted to play dress up like a nun after bath time, so she found her dirty onezie and put that on her head. Too funny!

She walks with "authority."

Meeting A Living Legend...John Gagliardi

Today was a special day for me as both Andray and Roslyn got to meet Saint John's University "Living Legend" John Gagliardi. I brought the kids out to Collegeville this morning after breakfast. John was so great with the kids and of course game them candy to "break the ice."

I had the privilege of working with John in the fall of 2005. John is the winningest coach in college football history.

The kids enjoyed their time at SJU.

John going into his fridge to get Andray a sucker.

John opening Roslyn's sucker for her.

John took the time to sign a few things for me as well. He even signed a photo of himself especially for my Gram...very thoughtful. My Grandpa Shorty wanted more than anything to make it to SJU for a football game and meet John in person. Gpa never made it there, but Gram is excited to have John's signature for safe keeping.

A New Year Brings New Do's!

Hope the first couple weeks of 2011 have treated you well. The New Year brought New Haircuts to the Stang household. Roz can finally see again after getting her bangs trimmed and Andray loves his "new do"....love and miss you all! The Stang's

"Cheers to the New Year," says Andray.

Roslyn loves to "borrow" my hat and wear it around the house. Cracks us up!


Roz finally got the hat off, but then headed to the "forbidden corner"...she definitely knows how to push our buttons, ha!

Both kids love to look at photos, I wonder where they get that from?

Roz was mysteriously too quiet the other evening. When I walked into the kitchen, she had gotten in the breakfast bar box and figured out how to open a bar, unreal!

She happily said "Cheese" for the photo with her mouth full of a breakfast bar.
