Catching up for November

Where has the month of November gone? I feel like it was the beginning of November a few days ago. Here are some updates with what we have been doing. Here is where I spent my day raking up our back and front yards getting ready for the leaf guys to come and suck them up. Kailyn was great to take a long nap this afternoon.

My Winter Village table centerpiece. Holidays fit for a King was great and I enjoyed learning some new ideas about Christmas and Children and Cooking for a crowd. I feel ready to entertain a large group of 20.

Kailyn had her 6 month checkup, she is doing good 12lbs 9.5 oz. She is still in the 10th percentile but is growing great! She seems to be healthy. She is trying to sit up and wants to be on the move but is only moving her arms and legs with her tummy keeping her still.

Halloween 2009

We took Kailyn and Ryleigh out for a walk to check out the neighboehood! Kailyn was the cutest butterfly in the neighborhood!

We went to our church's fall festival to have some fun as a family! Mommy and daddy took Kailyn down the big blow-up slide and we watched the ponies!

Four years of marriage!

Brad and I celebrated 4 years of marriage on Thursday October 22. We were able to go out for dinner and spend some great time with Kailyn. We all went to McCorrmick and Schmick's at Crabtree and it was great. I had the salmon and Brad had the trout. It is a pricey place but nice for a special occassion. The food and the service was top notch. We had desert too! Brad gave me a used Ipod to replace mine that got ruined by some soda over the summer and I gave him a gift card for a massage. We are so thankful for the years that the Lord has given to us to share this life together and look forward to what He has in store for us in the future.

Kailyn is eating cereal!

Kailyn is eating cereal and it is a great adventure! She is starting to figure it out. She is growing and changing so much. She is starting to play in her exersaucer and pushing buttons and grasping some of the toys on it. She is very inquisitive and checking things out. Here are some pictures of her as she is getting bigger. Passing the 5 month mark and looking forward to the changes that are ahead at 6 months!

Eating cereal for the first time!

She is eating some peas now too! Those pictures are coming soon!

Carolina Panthers Game

After going to Beth Moore my mom and I headed to Charlotte to meet the rest of the family to see the Panthers play. We had great seats 50 yard line 12 rows up from the field. Kailyn enjoyed it in her cheerleading outfit. She did make on the Jumbotron for only a few seconds before they went back to the game. She was exhaused by the end of the night but grandma and grandpa took her back to the hotel early. It was a great time!
