Springtime, Ariel, & 'Kee-Cats'

So, I realize I am a little late with the Easter pics, Papa, & Yaya. First, we went to an Easter egg hunt, and left right before the hunt. There were way too many kids for Stella's taste, and it was a two hour 'activity'. Needless to say, Stella lasted about an hour. Once it became crowded, She was outta there:









Then, Easter came. It was fairly uneventful. Stella got to taste jelly beans for the first time, and she got an Ariel (Little Mermaid) doll that goes with us everywhere.
















So, after church, Stella was so tired, and in no mood for pictures, yet, Glenn had to get a couple of cranky pics for posterity:













On my desk at work I have last year's Easter photo of our little family. It makes me smile, because Stella was so ticked at me dressing her in an Easter dress last year, that we couldn't get the kid to crack a smile to save our lives. So, here are pictures from Easter of 2007, and Easter of 2008, respectively:











Stella's 'thing' right now is to hunt for the neighborhood 'Kee-Cat' every time we step foot out the door. Even if we are headed somewhere, we had better take a few minutes to hunt down the object of harassment, so that Stella can stand over the poor creature, meowing at the top of her lungs (in case it is unsure of the sound it should make), until the cat just gets up and finds another hiding place. Stella, however, has not learned to take a hint. She sees this as an opportunity to practice her chasing skills, all the while calling out, "Kee-Cat, where are you? Kee-Cat, come here!" If nothing else, it does provide some much needed comic relief for me, after a sometimes long day at work.
