Katie's New Dress

My sister sent Katie a new dress. It is so pretty and she finally has something to wear those red shoes with! Thanks Auntie Karin. WE love it. (She was not so sure she loved the hat, so pictures of that to come.) Katie usually wakes up pretty happy. She eats a little then tries really hard to talk and smile. I just know anyday now she is going to get it and give us a great big smile. For now, I am happy with the half smiles!

Keldon's First Soccer Game

Keldon started soccer again last Saturday. He did really well at his first game. They don't keep score, so we don't know who won. I am hoping he will continue to like the program and do well all season!

Dinoland at Zilker Park

We went to Dinoland yesterday at Zilker Park in Austin. With such a mild weather week, we had to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Keldon really enjoyed seeing the dinos. Luckily my friend and her boys were with us, otherwise we would have never made it through the park. I pretty much just followed the group around trying to keep Katie happy. She decided she was WAY hungry and needed to eat. There was no where to really stop and feed her. I finally learned how to feed her in my sling. WOW it was an accomplishment for me! Love the sling!

Too Much Partying

Michael and Katie doing what they love best-sleeping.

Totally Attached

So, Katie loves to be carried around all the time (yes, even at night). She prefers to be snuggled up with Michael or I rather than be put down anywhere. So, we have deemed the sling the best purchase we have thus far made. I can get lots more done with her snuggled in it than I would if I were just carrying her. I have tried several different carrying positions. She does not seem to mind. Michael thought it was funny that her arm was out this time.

A Brother's Love

Keldon has welcomed his little sister with such love. He always wants to know where she is and what she is doing (usually sleeping!). He loves to give her kisses and calls her his sweetheart. It melts my heart the way he has embraced her. I think maybe he has been waiting a long time for her to get to our family.

Baby Katie

Baby Katie is finally here. She was born August 28th at 6:15pm. She weighed just under 8lbs and was 20 inches long. She is a happy, healthy baby! We are so happy and blessed to have her in our family.
