Beautiful Tess

Okay, so my kids don't always take the best pics, but my sweet little niece does! She usually pops a big smile for any camera that comes near her, but she's teething right now (working on number 3 & 4 I think) and her gums come first. LOL! She is precious though and we are so glad to live so close to her. She and Karsyn are going to be great friends! There is no telling what kind of trouble they will get in to. So, here's our little shout out to Tess... We love you!

And one more little thing, okay kind of a big thing... Apryl... thank you SO much for your help yesterday! I couldn't have done it without you! Drew's face was priceless when he got home... I'll have to tell you more about that later. ROFL!

In the Garden

Sunday, my little helper (aka. Karysn) helped me out in the yard. We watered the plants and herbs on the deck while Daddy mowed the lawn. Then we (Mommy) had fun taking pics of our little cutie while Daddy finished up. Seems baby K is a little camera shy... I have the hardest time getting her to actually look at the camera. She just seems to be in awe of God's many wonderful beauties and soaks them all in! In these pics, check our her toes... lol. She always seems to have her left toes curled and her right toes "catching the wind."


After we finished with the plants on the deck (really not that many), we headed out in the yard. The bumbo sqeezed into our little red wagon perfectly & Karsyn had fun riding around while I continued to water plants. She would fuss when we stopped, and then was happy again when we were moving. What a picky little one. Maybe this means she will like roller-coasters though... I would love that! Girl after my own heart.

Baby K checks the "time." Are we done yet?

My sweet sister-in-law started sharing some veggies with me and I had no where to plant them, so we created a little spot. This is my little garden experiment for the spring/summer... tomatoes, onions, peppers, squash, etc... It's been fun. We'll just have to wait and see if I can keep these sweet little plants alive though.

One Month Ago

It's hard to believe that we were driving to the hospital to be induced just one month ago! That's right, our little Karsyn is one month old. She has grown and changed so much already... it's hard for me to even imagine what and how she will be at one-year. I don't want to rush things though... I'll keep her sweet and small while I can. She finally moved out of the newborn diapers up to a size 1... and 0-3 month outfits don't completely swallow her now (although newborn still fit better). I'm guessing she is around 8 lbs. now, but am not sure how long (she was 21 inches 2 weeks ago). Seth is also so proud of her and he is such a good helper! When Karsyn starts tracking a little better, Seth will be a great source of entertainment for her (he just moves a little too fast for her right now-lol). I'm sure they will grow to be great friends!

Ice vs. The Burning Crusade?

No worries... we stayed bundled and warm during the recent ice storm. Drew managed to catch one of the last flights out of town (so sad about that) while the kiddos and I stayed cozy at home. We drank spiced tea, read lots of books, played games and of course found time to play on the computer too... WoW's Burning Crusade being our main occupation - lol.

Waking Up

... it's a tough business being two weeks old. Doesn't Karsyn do a good job of making us all feel sorry for her! Really, it is so funny to watch her "wake up." She stretches and coos and grunts and makes quite the ordeal out of it. Just wait until you start cutting teeth sweetie... then you'll really have something to whine about.
