"Every child begins the world again." -Henry David Thoreau Sadie Hart, daughter of Miss Nelson (aka Stacy Hart) has arrived, just 15 months after her big brother Hayden!
Some of Stacy's good parenting skills could be attributed to the Knudsens! Not by our example, we just gave Stace gobs of practice! At one time or another we've probably all tried her patience (one essential mothering trait).
First, Miss Nelson was the fabulous 5th grade teacher for Webb's 1st year at Almaden Country School. She's got plenty of hilarious Webb stories up her sleeve. It was a fun year, a good class of kids, and Webb was definitely one of Stacy's most spirited students!
Then during Paige's 3rd grade year, Miss Nelson took over for Mrs. Singer during maternity leave. Paige's class was another high energy, raucous crew further developing Miss Nelson's stamina!
Andie and I think it's poignant that Miss Nelson is exactly halfway between Andie's age and my age (almost 12 years each way). So, we both consider Stace a close friend and confidant. Or, you could say, Andie's big sis & K2's little sis!
Brent probably put Stacy through the ultimate tests! Anyone who can survive the PCG pace, constant change in flights, meetings, and plans, and remain unflappable deserves a medal. And big bonuses! Stacy was a loyal, hard working employee on the PCG team and is dearly missed in San Francisco!
Betwixt and between her interaction with the rest of the Knudsens, Stacy was my dedicated running buddy! We both ran our first marathon together; I've logged lots of miles with Stace at my side. We've had fun trips to San Diego (another marathon), NYC (North Castle party days), and co-hosted many PCG parties.
So, as Stace uses all those skills she honed during her surviving-the-crazy-Knudsens years, she's bound to be an extraordinary Mom! Hayden and Sadie are lucky kiddos! Congratulations to the Harts on their growing family!
