Kate's First Meal of MUSH!

In ten days Kate will be six months. I was planning to wait until she was exactly six months to start solids but I've been getting very excited about starting solids, because Kate was starting to get very interested in food. So far she's been given a "taste" of banana, watermelon and apple. Yesterday when we went grocery shopping we picked up a box of iron fortified cereal and today after church I decided to try it. She ate almost the whole tablespoon serving prepared for her. We'll see if she eats it again tomorrow!

The Blesssing of Fathers

To my sweet Ken, Kate and I are so blessed to have you in our lives. You love me and support me in everything and through everything. This is such a great blessing to me. I hope you never feel taken for granted. I hope Kate and I always show you our love and appreciation. You are one in a million and I'm so thankful you're mine!




















Not only do I have a wonderful husband who is a wonderful father, I was blessed to be raised by a wonderful father. Thank you Daddy for being such a sweet, doting Dad. (And thank you Mom for making sure Dad sees this!)

I'm grateful to my Heavenly Father everyday for the blessing of a sweet husband and a sweet Daddy.

Kate's New Toy

We made a trip to "Once Upon A Child" and Kate is now the proud recipient of a tigger bouncer. She has been dangling this morning but as yet hasn't figured out the bouncing. AND last night she said "ba". So far the only consonant was "g". All very exciting! Are we new parents or what!

Ken's Work

What does it take for Ken to make an appearance in the blog... Front Page News!! I do try to include the occasional picture of Kate and her Dad but this post is just about Ken. He has been working for the Town of New Tecumseth for six months now. This job has been such a blessing. He loves what he's doing - when he isn't frustrated by some code (you don't have to know what that means, just nod and say aha) and he works with some lovely people. It was a fun surprise to see some of Ken's work on the front page of the local newspaper. He made the maps that accompany the article. Yay Ken! (If you click any where on the picture it will enlarge)

Fingers are Passé

Toes are the new fingers!

Kate is Five Months Old

New Hampshire - the final entry

We left on the 20th of May and returned on the 30th. I was so nervous about going for ten days. Kate adjusted pretty quickly to all of her cousins and their noise. We had a really great visit. I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful sister. She is such an example to me. Kate had such a great time with her cousins, except of course for the occasional bump to the head. Isaac, Joseph, Thomas and Anna are such wonderful little people!
