busy season

Whew! It's been a while. I didn't realize how busy I would be these last couple months! I never thought adding one little girl to the mix would make life so busy. We've been having a pretty good time, all thing considered. Most recently we've been traipsing around Oregon visiting family. We just got back to Portland from Sisters where Rowan learned to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the "violin" (or the mallets from Don't Break The Ice if you want to be technical) and Katie finally got excited about bath time :)






Lil miss Katie's been perfecting her wave for about a month now and it seems like she's been standing holding on to things for at least that long too (maybe longer). She is becoming more adventurous and mobile every day! She can stand on her own and though she hasn't taken many unassisted steps I just know that one of these days (very soon!) she'll be toddling around here after her brother and cousins. My baby girl is growing so fast!!!

Rowan is still as sweet as can be... most of the time ;) He is definitely three years old! He's a good big brother. He loves Katie and often wants to hold, hug, and kiss her. He doesn't always want her to touch him or to share his toys but we're working on that ;)

I love my kids so much. I am truly blessed!! Here are a few photos of what we've been up to the last few months. I'm kinda bummed I couldn't keep up on the blog so I could've shown more and had more opportunity to show off my fantastic kids... ah well, c'est la vie :)

Katie's bib said "I'm thankful for my Daddy" :)

and finally, our most recent trip to Sisters!
the weather began a little mild but we got to see and play in some snow and I understand they've now got even more!
I think our travel timing was spot on! :)
