Next came Stella in May 2004. Lisa was in labor for 36 hours and almost had a c-section... but everything ended up ok. Living with Stella has been amazing. Although shy with others, she is razor-sharp, kooky, sweet, and stubborn as a mule. Every day has been a wonderful adventure. She has a sparkling smile and a mop of Shirley Temple curls.
In April 2006, Marni came along. Her delivery was fast. A few days after her birth she popped out a tooth which had to be removed shortly thereafter (it was loose). Till this day she has just one new tooth (the others are afraid to come out!). Marni is quite different from Stella. She is much more easy going and independent. She's a daredevil and is game for anything.
