Happy 1/2 Birthday!

Today was K's 1/2 birthday...so of course we celebrated! She had her cake and ate it too! Not intentionally...our idea was just to get a picture and she just dug right in!

As you can see, she doesn't like chocolate icing very much :) !

Aunt H painted K's rocking chair for her room. She likes to sit in it while we read her books!

It's amazing to think of how fast six months went! On the day she was born it was one of the hottest days of the summer and now on her 1/2 birthday it's one of the coldest this winter! She will have her 6 month check up soon and we will get an update on her weight and height. It will be interesting to see if she is still above the 95% for height!

We have a NEW Place to call home!

Our offer was accepted and we are on our way to close on the new house at the end of February/ early March. We are very excited as it has several features we never had in our other houses...hardwood floors, ceramic tile, granite countertops, wooded lot and walk out basement. We were very fortunate that our realtor found this house for us! Thanks N!
K cut her second tooth and the third one is well on its way! A little Tylenol and Oral Gel goes a long way! :)
G and M are busy packing things up for the big move. We laughed the other night thinking about the fact that this is our third house and we are only 27. We're out of our minds! We are definitely pro's at packing at this point!
(As you can see K is exicted about her new room!)

WOW it's been awhile!

Nothing too new on the home front! We've put an offer in on a house that we saw this weekend and are hoping that things go through on that. As of now we are the only ones who have an offer in on this house. We have been in a multiple offer situation before and they accepted our offer, however they had previously accepted a contingent offer. So the contigent offer had the chance to "firm up", in other words- find means to strip the contingency off their offer with whatever funds they had available to them. Well they were able to come up with the money so our offer was cancelled. Hence the reason we have put in another offer on a different house.
K is working on a couple of teeth. Hopefully they will pop through soon. They seem to be taking their sweet time coming. Molly (our dog) is loving the life on a farm. She runs around all day and then crashes at night!
We will update you on our offer when we hear more!

Just another day...

Not too much new...G's family Christmas was celebrated Sunday at his brother's house. K's Aunt E and Uncle G hosted a great party! Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandpa and grandma were there. K was definitely tuckered out by the time we got going in the car!
K got a new "Baby Grand Piano" from Uncle G and Aunt E and cousins.
She's on her way to becoming the next Mozart of her time!



K has taken over G-pa's remote...tasted it at least! She loves anything with buttons- remotes, cell phones, home phones, cameras, etc! Maybe its the different colors or shapes- who knows! What I do know is that it must taste pretty darn good! You can kinda see in the pictures that her pants are a little on the short side...they are 6-12 month outfits and they look like knickers on her. Not the season for knickers in Chicago!

G is still loving his new job! He's been quite busy there as they are trying to open a new facility. At least he's home everynight to see K! That has been nice!

M has been busy looking for houses online and getting moving things in line for next month. Next week a few contractors are going to meet M and K down in Fishers to take care of some warranty issues that were addressed in the inspection. Should be tons of fun "baby sitting" them!

Hope all is well with everyone...email if you get the chance!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We hope you all had a great New Year!
We rang in the new year with family who loves us very much and wouldn't have it any other way! It was a blast! K only made it until about 10:30p but that's ok!
The Packers beat the Bears! K and Daddy cheered them on in their Packers gear! They had to hear a lot of grief from a bunch of Bears fans- but in the end the PACK prevailed!
Looking back on 2006 we definitely had our ups and downs...but in the end we are so blessed to be together as a family with K as our beautiful daughter...this is what we have always dreamed life to be- to have a happy family - even through thick and thin we will stay strong!
