The weather has been so nice. We have spent lots of time outside lately. Here are some pictures from a playgroup on day a few weeks ago. You can see Katie's front teeth in one picture!

Roly Poly Katie
Katie has filled out and is definately growing too fast! I tell her she has to stay my little baby and she just laughs. I guess she has different plans. At six months, she is already half way crawling and wants to walk. We are all pretty sure she will be an early walker, so I am preparing now. Life will definately be changing soon for us.

Basketball Season
Keldon had his first basketball game on Saturday. He did really well. We enjoyed finally playing an indoor sport!
Katie's Late Christmas Gift
Katie got her first TWO front teeth in yesterday! They finally broke through the skin and are peeking out now. We were so excited. She has been drooling like crazy now for about a month. I am so glad she waited this long to get her first two. Keldon had his first two at three months.

Update on Us
So, you will find several postings below to update our family over the past two months. They are slightly out of order; sorry for that. My goal for the new year is to stay in touch and WRITE IT DOWN! I will be diligantly keeping a better journal. For now, here is an update.
Katie is now four months old and loves to "talk" to us. (She especially loves her daddy!) She smiles all the time and is very easy going. She loves to be held still, but also loves to roll around on the floor. She is very intrigued by her big brother and watches him all the time. I put her on the bathroom scale yesterday just out of curiosity. She weighs 16lbs according to it. I am not sure if that is all accurate, but I would believe it! She has gotten to be so chunky! I love it!! I cannot wait to hear what she has to tell us.
Keldon is doing very well. He also talks nonstop. He loves to talk on the phone. It is great how many random things that boy can come up with in a matter of 10 minutes or so. It is great! He is still very active and loves being outside. Luckily we are in Texas were it was in the high 60's today! He is going to start preschool two days a week in January. I think he will really enjoy being with other kids on a consistent basis. I cannot believe he is already going to be 5. I have just been in denial that he is going to kindergarten in August. I am not sure that I am ready to part with him. I love knowing what he is doing all day. I am sad just thinking about how much I will miss him during the day! He is my greatest joy and my greatest challenge at the same time. He has such a strong spirit about him. I am working hard to steer it towards good. I know he will do great things in his life.
Michael works from home now full time. He is enjoying being here. I do, most days. Sometimes though, I just want him to get dressed and leave for work. It would help us be on a better schedule! Oh well. I get to have more mommy time during the day. I am very thankful for that.
As for me, I love being a mommy. I love having the opportunity right now to just be raising my children. I could not have it any other way. I will be starting back to school next month. I am just taking a few night classes. I am thinking that I will go back to school fulltime in the fall, but I don't know yet. I do not want to miss Katie growing up. I want to be the mom that is there and helping out in the classroom. I want Keldon to come home and have me here so I can catchup on all the things I missed while he was away. (sorry, slightly teary right now!) Okay, sorry, I think I am still a little out of balance hormonally! I love my family and try everyday to make the best of what we have and the time we share together.

Katie's Room
So, we never really decorated Katie's nursery. I feel kindof bad about that. We just have been so busy and I did not know what I wanted to do in her room. It is finally almost done. A friend of mine and I got some wooden letters and decorated them for our kid's rooms. Katie's turned out so cute. (The picture does not do it justice) I think we might put these up for sale as well, once our flowers take off (or if we magically find more time in the day!). I will get a picture of her whole room soon. I just hung some pictures on the wall this week and need to hang the shelves.
Keldon
It is so great to see Keldon pretending. He loves to dress up and gets totally into character. It reminds me that he is still such a young guy. He is growing up mighty fast these days.
