Disney!

We celebrated Kate's 10 month birthday at Disney World with Aunt Janet and Uncle Charles and Grandma and Grandpa were able to come up from Stuart for a few days. We had a magical time. Patrick's favorite ride was Aladdin and he was able to almost fill his autograph book. He attended Jedi Training school and now is an official Padawan! Kate was very tolerant and enjoyed many of the rides too!

Kate's 9 Month Pictures

She's busy busy busy. Crawling, climbing, chatting, eating. She loves to make a mess and explore. She still loves to smile at everyone but pictures were a little harder this time around!

Christmas 2012

Thanksgiving 2012

We had a great Thanksgiving with the Rileys and Grandma and Grandpa coming in for the weekend and the Wells family coming down for Thanksgiving Day. We headed downtown to Shedd Aquarium and met up with the Bouwmans. Patrick and Nora went to a birthday party on Saturday at Pump It Up. After everyone left on Sunday we went to the Field museum to finally see the dinosaurs. Lots of museum fun!

Fall 2012

This fall went by in a flash. I've really enjoyed staying home (really going to all of Patrick's activities) with Patrick and Kate.

Kate is meeting all of her milestones pretty much in the same time as Patrick. She got her first tooth just days after turning 6 months. She started sitting up right at 5 months, we had a lot of fun getting her 6 month pictures done because she is so easy to make smile! Kate has her own fan club of Kindergarten Moms and girls. They all love Baby Kate!!

Patrick's First Day of KINDERGARTEN

Patrick had a great first day of school. He is growing up so fast. He is loving school from 8 am to 11 am and then we either head to piano, basketball, or art class. He had a great first report card this fall and he amazes us everyday with his reading skills.

Trip to Texas

Before Patrick started Kindergarten we headed down to San Antonio so the Jacksons could meet Kate. We had a great time swimming in Aunt Janet's new pool and meeting the Turkey's and ZEBRA at Uncle Pat's ranch. Kate was great on her first plane ride and we all survived the heat!
