Hi everyone! Its been way too long since a blogged, AGAIN! I was really bad about blogging last year. Looking back I can pinpoint it to when Kate started walking. But this year will be different, one of my resolutions this year is to blog more because I feel like i missed so many opportunities to record the little things I wont remember later. I don't know if you do this but I love to go back and read the blogs from when Kate was a baby and remember all the little things she would do. I love that I can do that and want to remember all the little things.
I haven't blogged since October so Ill give you a quick version of our lives to get you caught up. Kate was a cowgirl for Halloween. Wasn't she cute with her pink cowgirl boots.
She actually went trick or treating twice this year, once at my grandparent's campground and on Halloween. She loved trick or treating, Jeff even took her all the way around the block. She had so much candy, next year I think we might donate some of it because we threw most of it away.
In the beginning of November Jeff and I went on a cruise with Jeff's family, adults only no kids. Kate stayed with my Grandparents, I think they had as much fun as we did on our vacation. After our cruise Jeff and I traveled to Key West. It was so nice to spend a couple of day there, it is a beautiful place. It was also such a beautiful peaceful drive to the keys.
We got back the week of Thanksgiving and it has seem to be fast forward ever since. St. Nick visited us on December 6th. He brought Kate Elmo slippers and a coloring book. After Christmas parties and seeing Santa a few times it was Christmas Day.
Kate had such a good Christmas and received so many great presents. Thanks everyone!
She still doesn't understand what Christmas is but she knows who Santa is and that there are presents. Even now she asks about Santa and where he went. I wonder if she will still be talking about him in July? We rang in the new year with good friends. Kate didn't stay up until midnight mostly because I thought it was time for her to go to bed. I think she could of though, she has become quit the night owl.
This year has been pretty quite so far. We all have a little cold, just mostly stuffy/runny noses. We did get out over the weekend to work in the yard. The weather here has been so nice for January. Jeff, with Kate's help, racked the leaves. With all the traveling this fall he never got a chance to pick them up.
Kate has been such a good helper lately. Her new job everyday is to feed Bella. She is getting good at scooping the food out and putting in the bowl. As you can imagine at first Bella was eating off the floor more than out of her bowl. The only problem that we are having is that Kate thinks she should feed Bella multiple times a day. This isnt a problem for Bella though. Kate even helped me fold laundry today. She would pull out a shirt fluff it out then crumble it up into a ball and put it in the pile. I hope she thinks I do a better job at folding than that.
