Jammie time

we want to know...when did Kaitlyn turn into such a little kid?? She LOVES to torment her brother and do EVERYTHING he does. This has it's good points and bad! Can't wait for Christmas...

happy bubbles

The kids take a bubble bath almost every night. Sometimes it's at 5pm to set the moods right before dinner, sometimes it's right before bed. Either way, the bath together is not only a time saver, but a lot of fun! They will hate us someday for this :-)

is anyone still out there?

MIA Blogger, mainly thanks to the virus on the laptop. Christmas preparations are in full swing. Tree is up and decorated...and undecorated...and redecorated. (this will be a daily pattern we think, thanks to Kaitlyn) Our elf is watching every move James makes, a blessing for mom.
Kaitlyn is growing thanks to the ten tons of milk she is drinking these days. She needs to keep up with her brother. Climbing is a new pasttime of Kaitlyn's, as is yelling (at everyone) and teasing James. We think she needs to learn to talk pronto. Her favorite words are baby, ball, brodie, boppa, mamama, daddadada, chips (a true Plona there) and cheers. Happy to report that the nights of little to no sleep are far behind us! We heard it would happen someday and it seems our day has finally come.
Hope to post more again soon...

October...Happy Halloween!

Busy month: visiting lots of farms, dressing up as super heros and animals for Halloween and growing up too quick! Note - yes, James was supposed to be Buzz Lightyear but after a month of wearing the costume every day around the house and to 2 other parties, and the snug fit of said costume, a quick trip to a consignment shop yielded a $4 super cool green space ranger suit that could fit warm clothes underneath! And miss Kaitlyn enjoyed her snuggly warm zebra suit on the cold night. It was so much fun trick or treating on Main Street with cousins William and Julia, aunt Kelly and uncle Frank and Grandma and Grandpa. We love this holiday tradition.
Our CSA farm share is over for the year, hayrides and pumpkin patches are closed and we are gearing up for the barrage of questions that should begin in the morning about Christmas!

Kaitlyn's birthday weekend

"The days are long, but the years are short"

One year and we don't remember life without our little pistol named Kaitlyn. Here she is, in all her birthday glory. She now says "cheeee" when you take her picture which results in a really funny face, but it is cute.
Kaitlyn didnt really like the lights off and the candles a blaze but when she tasted the cake, life got a lot better. James picked out her Barbie ballerina cake after specific instructions that the cake was for his SISTER and not for him. He did good!Our chef at work baking the "cake".

Ah, Buzz. We are hoping that by the time Halloween rolls around, Buzz is not a thing of the past! James wears his Buzz suit every. single. day.

Here's mom trying to get Kaitlyn's 1 year old bear picture. Kaitlyn had different plans for the bear. Usually she is on the receiving end of such tackles so it felt good to take out the stuffed bear.


Happy Birthday to our girl.
