~ Kaitlin ~


Kaitlin turned 6 months old on the 19th. Sooooooo cute!!!


I guess dad figured that since Kaitlin was doing so well with her rice cereal and baby food that it was time to graduate to "the good stuff." He was proud and she was pretty excited herself. Needless to say, shortly after picture time, big bad mom came to the rescue and broke up that party. Man, I'm just no fun!

~ House In Progress ~
















So, this is obviously the back of the house. I had to drive by it anyway but didn't want to pull into the neighborhood so I stopped and took this picture last week. The sheetrock is hung. Most of the windows and doors are in.

It will be really nice when this is all done! In the beginning, people would tell me things like, "building a house is like being miserable and pregnant but when the baby comes you forget about all the trouble and have something wonderful" and "If your marriage can handle building a house, it can handle anything"!

Low and Behold - It's all true! But I guess it doesn't help much that our likes and dislikes are polar opposites. We are having a hard time finalizing on some decisions like exterior colors, flooring and paint colors. I see a game of paper - rock - scissors in our near future.

~ Baby Animal Days ~

Every year we go to Baby Animal Days with Robert's family. The kids really look forward to it. This year we went on pony rides, saw the farm animals, raced for candy at the candy cannon, went on a mile long treasure hunt, watched sheep shearing, got face paintings, kettle corn and, of course, sunburns :) All in all it was great day!
