Fun Stuff

We are fortunate to have good free fun entertainment around here lately. Here's a picture of Kaelah at a traveling petting zoo. This baby goat is about 3 months old & named Misfit. He came around behind where Kaelah was sitting and loved being petted & hugged by her. She also got to pet a miniature pony, a donkey, a llama & her favorite: a HUGE bunny. Meanwhile, Dad stayed at home with Danny. Oh, the joys of being old enough to enjoy things!
Kaelah was Daddy's date for his annual company picnic. She enjoyed miniature golf but her favorite part was picking out a red balloon to have painted on her face. Dan says she only moved once. When did our girl get so big??? Kaelah is surprising me every day with the words she is saying & linking together. The other day she ran around calling herself daughter. That had been what I called her when I didn't want her to know I was talking about her. Guess that won't work anymore. Some examples of phrases are "Daddy eat too" or "Mommy carry me." Kaelah also likes keeping track of everyone. When I took Danny for his check-up Shannon babysat Kaelah & was serenaded by this: "Daddy work. Mommy doctor. Baby Danny doctor. Kaelah home. Shanny home." She might just be talking in full sentences by her 2nd b-day at this rate.
Admiring her art while brushing her teeth. (: She now picks out her own pajamas. That night the " horsie" pjs won the contest.
Meanwhile, baby Danny & Mommy stayed home for a relaxing evening b/c 2 weeks = 2 young to party. Here he is after a nice bath waiting to be dressed on his changing table. Danny is doing fantastic. I cannot believe how much he is moving around & voicing his opinions all of a sudden. He's going to be a ball of energy when he is a toddler, I can just see it. He's sleeping less & when he's awake you better be holding him or else he'll use those little lungs of his to tell you, "Get over here this second! I woke up!" He has a very calm personality, though. He's a snuggle bunny for sure. And he really likes pacifiers to get himself to go to sleep. He's sitting on my lap right now listening to me type & trying to figure out my eye glasses & undone hair. He is adorable & so easy to love. There is nothing more in the world I could ask for at this point in my life.

Misfit is the PERFECT name for an animal! Or hey, one of my kids too. I love Kaelah checking out her face art in the mirror. LOL!! Tooooo cute!
By the way, I like horsie pajamas too.
Also, Danny has GOT to be one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen!!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
