Where do I start:
Well, K is doing much better now that her antibiotics have taken course. She started a new daycare last week and so far so good. She loves the fact the daycare has animals...including two love birds. She is growing so fast. In two days she will be One and a Half! So exciting! She is definitely signing more and trying to talk to us in her language :) We were SO LUCKY to have grandma W come and take care of K for a week while she was in transition between day cares and while she was ill with a double ear infection and bronchiolitis. I think K missed grandma W and playing all day long in her own domain!

Thursday, cousin Mikey tried his hand at building his own fort. Like the Egyptians building pyramids, he darn near killed himself doing so. In a quirky five year old's mind, there seems to be a need for a 4x4 on top of the swing set to make a great fort. So as any other crazy five year old would do, he pushed a 4x4 up the slide and onto the top of the swing set. Apparently when he himself reached the top, there was just too much temptation- "I must slide with this enormous hunk of dangerous wood"- not so sure those were his famous last thoughts, however, knowing Mike it can't be too far off. Well the 4x4 was longer than Mike was tall. So the 4x4 touched ground before Mike and the hunk of wood stopped Mike in his tracks by striking his cranium. That's right folks, the 4x4 slammed into his head. Needless to say, Mike wasn't quite the same. So off the ER they went and one CAT scan and Cars coloring page later, they found that he in fact 1. has a brain that developed that great idea and 2. the fore-said brain was not bleeding. Hooray! Aunt Heidi and I are sitting together talking about this on Sunday waiting for Michelle and the kids to arrive and in comes Mikey. No battle wound- just a bad haircut!

This past weekend Cousin Brian came down from WI and hung out with us. Friday night was quite eventful with K's tirades to go to sleep and Saturday they went over to Uncle Gary's house to play some Wii. G and Brian had a great time and they were all able to catch up with one another. While the boys were out to play, M and K stayed at home and had a great time themselves! This would be the first time ever that K got a diaper and laid down for me to change it on her very own! I thought I was going to crap myself when I saw her do that- not once, but twice! Sunday when we went to grandma and grandpa's there was no displaying of this talent. I must keep it in my precious memories I guess.

As most of you know, our family has been blessed with a new baby last August, a brand new bambino a couple of weeks ago, Gary and Erica are expecting in June and now just yesterday we found out that my beloved sister Heidi is expecting in September!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited! The last baby on my side of the family besides K is wonder Mike! So it's been a while for me to have a new niece or nephew on my side! I'm thrilled to be a new aunt TWICE this year! I can't wait to shower them with love! Congrats Heidi and Bryan! K is going to just love having a cousin her age on our side! (Heidi asked wonder Mike what he thought they should name the baby and he said "mike" that was turned down faster than you can spit it out and then his second suggestion was "grandpa"- the kid would definitely be the only "grandpa" in kindergarten!)
Please keep all these babies and mommies in your prayers!
