Katelyns New Tricks

The last week has been a big deal for Katelyn. She has not one but two teeth breaking through, both on the bottom. She started this new lip smack thing that after several attempts I caught on camera. And the biggest of all...she started crawling!!! In her typical laid back attitude she will crawl only if she has too. For example there are no toys near by or she really, really wants to chew on my shoes then she will crawl to get them but for the most part she is still content to hang out where ever she is at.

Fall Festival

On Saturday November 1st our church held its annual Fall Festival (our alternative to Halloween).Well originally Katelyn was going to be a bunny for the Fall Festival but considering it was like 80 degrees on Saturday and her outfit was thick and fuzzy we had to change the game plan so she was a cow instead. It was kinda nice with Katelyn this year because it got me out of working any of the booths or doing anything productive. We got to walk around the whole time and mingle but poor Stephen got stuck maning the inflatable obstacle course the whole time. As usual he was a good sport and did not complain once :-) Maybe next year we will alternate and he can take Katelyn around and I will work...well maybe...
All dressed and ready to go...

Cotton Candy YUM, actually she only took like two bites and then didn't want anymore.Her friend Ella on the other hand couldn't get enough!Katelyn got to ride the donkey, yeah she wasn't impressed.Stephen, only half way done but still smiling :-D

No place like home...

I have been back from Cali for a while now and am yet to post pictures and thoughts on my trip. I am such a slacker but I am trying to change my ways ;-) So here we go...First off Katelyn is an awesome little travler! Both on the flight there and the flight home she was fast asleep before we reached crusing altitude and woke up during landing. I was also lucky enough to have an empty seat next to me on both flights so I was not stuck holding her for three hours straight.

On one hand it was great to spend so much time with them and on the other hand two weeks without Stephen is way to long (well even a day is too long but anyways). We got to visit with my Grandpa, my Gram and Bappy (by the way our second visit on thursday went much better and we are at peace with the way things are :-), Poppop, Katelyns Uncle Jonathan and "Auntie Amy"

We made many special memories and enjoyed our time there but we are glad to be back because afterall there is no place like home!
