Julie's Engagement



This is such old news, but I don't think I ever blogged about it. Jer's sister, Julie is engaged to Lucas. They get married July 23rd. It is exciting news that we expected would be coming eventually. Jer took their engagement pictures. It's been fun to go wedding dress shopping, brainstorming and doing the registry with her. Lucas is going to be such a wonderful addition to the family, and we can't wait to celebrate this union. Abigail is psyched to be the "flowder girl."

Santa Kenzie

All the Get-Ups

These are Kenzie's socks.


She decided to try and get Kenzie in on the fun.



"Slip Slops" on the wrong feet....can't be comfortable.



I decided it would be fun to take a picture every time Abigail came out in something new one day. This is so her. She loves to throw on hats, gloves, shoes, socks and now costumes. I swear, I did not have any contribution to her choices...except for the final outfit.

Abigail's First Date


Abigail suddenly proclaimed, "Bye, Bye, Mommy. I'm going on a date all by myself." I had to get the video camera ready and inquire further.

Katie & Kelsey's Birthday

We went out the other night for Kelsey & Katie's birthday. We went to thai food - Indochine - downtown. It was so nice to get out with some ladies!

First Person Drawing - Abigail 29 Months

I showed Abigail how to draw a person, and this was her first attempt. Not bad!!

Changing Kenzie


While I was in the other room, I heard Abigail saying, "Kenzie peed." That made me curious. I walked in, and I found Abigail trying to change her diaper.

Kenzie at 8 months




Our little Kenzie is 8 months old. It's amazing how quickly it goes by! One of these pictures reveals the two teeth she grew this last month. She handled it really well! Kenzie is laughing a lot. It's easy to get her to smile and crack up. She is "speaking" a bit but spends more time quiet - unless she's complaining. She continues to smile whenever Abby wants to love on her, which is often. She is getting around quite easily - virtually crawling. She wants to be grabbing at everything, and I predict she'll be a climber. She is a good eater and a good sleeper. She seems like a tough kid, not phased by her extra hard loves from her sister. She waves too! She can stand when propped up against things. She is great in the car and loves being around other people. She can feed herself puffs and teething biscuits. She enjoys being a the table with us. She gets bored in one place for too long, so we move her around from the floor, the exersaucer, our arms, the jumper and the high chair. She gives big smiles when we make her dance, do patty cake or sing to her. She continues to delight us, and she has the most beautiful eyes ever!

Christmas Wreath Craft



Part of the Christmas season for us has to include Christmas crafts. Here's our first one. Making a wreath out of toilet paper rolls. I have a book on making things with stuff you have around the house. We had a great time painting, cutting and gluing!

Trimming the Tree




Christmas music and decorating. I love this time of year. Abigail hung about 20 snowflakes in the exact same spot. I moved them after she went to bed. :-)
