Pajama Jam

We went to visit our friends the Caulfields on Saturday. We hadn't met their latest addition yet. We were long overdue considering Sarah is 6 months old. Here are Andrew, Emma, Katie and Sarah in their pajamas.

Little Sarah would open her month each time I went to take a picture. She looked so adorable.

Little Nemos

Katie had her first "Little Nemos" swim class yesterday. She was observant and quiet when we first got there. The kids all looked adorable. So cute! When we got into the pool, which was warm (thank you God!), Katie said softly "No, No, Up" but the instructor kicked off the class with "The Wheels on the Bus" and she LOVES that song. We worked on kicking and making the kids comfortable on their backs. Here is Katie in her new bathing suit. Look out summer...here we come!

Raisin Bran Connection

Raisin Bran is turning into an daily ritual with Katie. She asks for it every morning for breakfast. I find this funny because when I was pregnant with her I walked down the cereal aisle at Target, spotted a box of Raisin Bran and proceeded to eat enormous quantities of it until she was born. I don't know if there is a correlation but if she starts inhaling coffee ice cream, cheeseburgers, blueberry bagels and boston creme donuts, I'll be very suspicious.

WANTED: The Cupcake Culprit

Thank you for helping us rid our neighborhood of cupcake snatchers.

If Only It Actually Cut Grass

Uncle Jeff came down from Vermont this weekend and spent some time with Katie. I think she enjoyed spending some time with "Feff". He brought this bubble mower for her. If only it really cut grass! We could use an extra hand with the yard work. The dog really liked it too. Abby eats the bubbles!

Oh No! Home Improvement

We're starting to tackle some home improvement projects. This is our 3rd bedroom. We are stripping the wallpaper and repainting. Katie repeatedly yells "OH NO!" everytime she glances in the direction of that room. I hope she doesn't have that reaction when we're finished. Stay tuned for some after shots.

Bathroom Break

I don't think Kathleen is ready to give up her diapers but the bathroom is her new favorite place in the house. There are a few older girls at daycare and Katie loves to be like the big kids. When they line up to go the bathroom Katie jumps right in line even though she still wears diapers!
