Christen's Wedding

My cousins daughter, Christen, was married on Dec 17th. She and Chris were married on my aunt and uncle's 50th Anniversary! It was so sweet how during the reception they surprised them with a wedding cake and a first dance! We had a blast with our family! Congratulation's Chris and Christen, we love you!

Wilders Visit

My sister and the girls came over the week of Thanksgiving to help me out. Viley held Kathryn most of the time while Lu and Grace Anne played. Viiley was such a help and loved holding Kathryn. I can't wait to watch our 4 girls grow up together!

Sweet Sisters

Grace Anne loves Kathryn! The first time Grace Anne held Kathryn she got so calm. Grace Anne runs to the car after school and the first thing she does is kiss Kathryn. Kathryn loves for her big sister to hold and sing to her. Grace Anne loves to rock and get Kathryn to sleep. They are so sweet together.

Introducing Miss Kathryn

I know I am way behind but Kathryn is finally here. She was born Nov 9th and was 6lbs 7oz 20in. She is beautiful and looks a lot like her big sister! She is a perfect baby and takes after her big sister when in comes to sleeping. Kathryn normally only wakes up around 2 or 3 times a night. Grace Anne is such a big help and loves her to death. When she hears Grace Anne's voice she turns to try and find her. It has been an adjustment to having a baby here. After 9 years I had forgotten how long it takes to do things. The 1st few weeks my daily goal was to at least get a shower. Kathryn loves to snuggle, she is spoiled and loves being held. I figure they are only little once, why not!

Wilder Bunch comes to visit

My sister and brother-in-law along with the girls came into town yesterday. I can't believe how much the girls have grown. Lu and Grace Anne have enjoyed dancing and reading books. Viley has kept us laughing. She is so funny! You can ask her whats in my tummy and she'll say a "Mammy." Katy and I called our grandmother Mammy and Violet is named after her. She never knew her great-grandmother but for some reason calls babies "Mammy's."

They will be here all weekend but here's the past few days with them!

1st Day of 3rd Grade!

I can't believe my little girl is in 3rd grade! She is growing up so fast! She was so nervous about starting a new school but lucky for me Beth, my best friend in high school, teaches there. She didn't get Beth but she is right across the hall! She is doing so good and met a new best friend the 1st day- Jessie! When I woke her up that morning she said "Mom, I need to say a quick prayer." In the sweetest voice she said, "God, please help me have a good first day and meet a friend." As soon as she got in my car that afternoon she was all smiles! She said God had answered her prayers. Remember once we found we were pregnant she began praying for a little sister, so she must have direct line as my sister says!

We are getting settled into our new house and loving it! We have the best neighbors and there are only little girls on our street! Kathryn will have a friend a few weeks older than her right next door!

Kate's Visit and Spring Fair

A lot has been going on in our lives and will be for the next couple of weeks. Kate and the girls came for a visit and the girls had a lot of fun together. Violet is a mess and always makes us laugh. Some say she takes a lot after me!

We will be closing on our new house the 28th and will begin the fun...moving. I started packing some things up last night and that was so much fun!
