15 month check up for Kate and Alex

Here are the stats:
Alex - 22lbs 9oz (50%) & 32 1/4" length (95%)
Kate - 24lbs 13oz (75%) & 32 3/4" length (above 97%)

They are doing well. We will go in and have Katee Katsins hips looked at because she has a little "swing in her step". Alex loves to communicate - sign language, english and spanish! Kate just loves to say "Baby"! She loves to find babies faces and kiss them....tv, books, pampers boxes! They are in their second year of life and so they are already throwing fits....which by the third and fourth child we find to be pretty hilarious!

The girls in the car...

Just in case anyone wanted to know what it was like to drive in the car with all the ladies in tow. Here are a few pictures to sum up a nice quiet ride - which is rare. Maybe it was because of the lollipops and milk!

The kids at the fire pit!

The kids had smores in their full princess/hawaiian/fairy outfits! That is Anisa on the left and Luke on the far right!

Putting your hands in wet cement?

Samantha and Lauren got to put their finger prints in the cement that was poured in Ma and Grandpa Eddie's backyard. It was fun for the girls and Samantha was especially interested in the process.

Can you believe that Samantha wants a dog!! She had the opportunity to play with Oliver - Staci's little doggie - on her recent trip to my office!

Samantha's Birthday Trip with Grandpa and Nonny

Samantha had a very good day with Grandpa and Nonny. They went to the aquarium and got to see the new exhibits. Then they dined a picnic lunch at the locks. After that they went across to see the gate open for all the water to go into the ocean. Followed by the Salmon ladder!! Then on the way back to be dropped off at Kristi's office they just happened to find some ice cream - daddy's favorite - mint chocolate chip! She even got to eat it in the car - grandparents are so cool!

Thanks Grandpa and Nonny!
Love Samantha








Pictures were all taken by Samantha or her new camera!

Samantha Visits the office!

Samantha loves her new camera. Here are a few pictures she took, one outside our office and one of a model inside our office! She has quite an artistic eye! Note: the top picture has a black door on the bottom right we take that to the 3rd floor. You can see my office window in the upper left corner of the picture. Great job Sam and it was fun having you come to work with me!

I love you! Mommy

Priceless - who me?
