Baby Kate - Day 2

Baby Kate's Birthday

Mama just found out that Baby Kate was going to be born on Sunday, February 28th, 2010. She looks so relaxed (probably just ready for some relief from the stomach virus and labor pains).

Mama is filling out all her paperwork to get ready for the C-Section.

Aunt Julie stepped in to be with Mama during delivery because Daddy was too sick with the stomach virus. He didn't even find out until the next morning that Mama had indeed had the baby and all her information.

Baby Kate or Sumo Wrestler???

Just chilling in my crib.

1st Day of School

This is my backpack. See, it has my name on it so that the other kids know it is mine. And I love trains!!!

I don't really know what school is yet so I'm just hanging out with my toys before Mama drops me off. That is when I really know what is going on, and I don't like it!

Snowpocalypse - Day 2

Daddy and our neighbor Carolyn help me put on my gloves. We sat around their chiminea for warmth.

The snow is almost as tall as me!

Yum, what is this stuff?

Tastes good!


How do I get out of here?


Thanks for the help, Mommy!

(Ignore the runny nose) Yummm, snow!

Snowpocalypse 2010

Matt starting his first pass at the driveway. He ended just just connecting our house to a few neighbors so we could get together for "Souper" Bowl Sunday.

The sun near our house.

Matt's car, if you can believe it.

Our side yard and next door neighbor's house.

This bush may not make it under all that weight.

Our back deck. Good thing we fed the birdies!

January 2010

I love playing with my new GeoTrax airplane that Grandma Lorrie got me for Christmas. I especially love when it swooshes down the ramp!

I like to help myself in the fridge now. (I'm not sure why I'm not wearing pants. Ignore that part.)

Ooh, my favorite yogurt smoothie!

Well, maybe another time. (The next day I helped myself to 2 of them while Mommy was busy and spilled them all over the floor.)

Mommy & Daddy in New Jersey

Mommy and Daddy went to New Jersey in January for a friend's memorial service so I stayed home. Grandma Lorrie, Grandma Pat & Grandpa Phil all helped care for me during the weekend they were gone.
This is the view from the parking lot at their hotel in NJ - right across the Hudson River from NYC and the Empire State Building. Notice Mommy's baby bump :-) She says there is a baby in there, but I'm not sure yet.
