In honor of the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, our own little explorer has accomplished yet another milestone…
Katelynn has managed to put together more than two consecutive steps. Yesterday, she just stood up and walked across the room! Of course, the camera wasn’t at the ready. I ran and grabbed the camera in hopes she would do it again. She graciously obliged.
It’s short, but worth watching for family and friends. Enjoy the video:
Katie had a birthday yesterday and she had her very own cake to enjoy (or destroy).
Afterwards we had to shake her out to get all the cake out of her clothes and baby wrinkles.
Thought I share a bonus video of Katelynn with her Aunt Cathy (my sister) playing in my Uncle Tom’s pool side water fountain.
Happy Birthday Katie!
Katelynn is trying her best to get around…seems the only direction she can go consistatly is backwards. She is going to be up and running soon.
She is so tired she fell asleep in the swing. Too Cute!
Mom…don’t be jealous…she forced her way in the door while we were asleep. We woke up to her playing with the baby and couldn’t find it in ourselves to kick her out on her tush after driving all night.
From Cathy: Mom…I asked permission from the boss and she said I could play with the baby…We had a really great day! See you at Christmas.
Here are the pictures from the last month…enjoy
All –
Apologies for not being as diligent as some of you have expected. I know I promised to keep you all up to date with new pictures of the baby girl…but as those of you who have had infants can attest, you don’t have as much time every day as you think you might. I’ve been working on consolidating pictures from 4 different sources into time relevant folders, but that turned out to be a little bigger task than I first thought. Imagine pictures from phone A have names like IMG_0001 and pictures from camera B have images with the same name, but are of course not the same image. I had to use due dilligence to ensure I got all pictures taken by my sister, mother, wife and myself without overwritting any. Long story short, it wasn’t a quick drag and drop activity. I started sometime on Saturday thinking I could have them consolidated, albums built and files transfered to the server before I went to bed…LOL. Well, you can see it has taken till mid week to get it done. But it is finally done.
So without further adu…go to the albums page and check out the new albums. I took the time to update the Happy Birthday Katelynn album to include some photos I didn’t have at 4am the morning Katie was born.
Enjoy, and I love you.

This weekend went well, Dad arrived on time late Friday night and left Sunday afternoon. It was truely nice to have him here. I’m glad he decided to visit for the weekend, not sure if it was Katelynn or Mom that was the motivator for the trip. Either way, he came. He was cute…classic Opa behavior. “No, I don’t need to feed her or change her diaper, just cuddle.”
I’ll write more later.

Appoligies for the delay in the updates, especially if you are a remote loved one…cause god knows, no one within arm distance has avoided me pulling out the iPhone and showing them daily updates.
Without further delay, please go see these newest pictures.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. And for a personal update, both mom and dad are fine too…just in case you were wondering.
Love ya’ll

Oh yeah…the last couple of images are of my mother hamming it up after I FORCED her to don that cute little bib. This is just a taste of how much fun she is…wish you could be here.
I’ll keep this short and sweet…it is 3:50 am, I’ve uploaded the initial pictures from our little girls first big day. She finally came out to say hello to her mom and dad at 11:58pm the 7th of July. Katie weighs 5 pounds 14.7 ounces…but they say they round up…so 5 15, 19 inches long and has a great set of lungs!
Both mom and baby are fine and resting. I’m sure Barb will be back up in a couple of hours for a feeding while I came home to check on the dog and post the pictures on the web for friends and family to enjoy.
