Cause to Celebrate

Today, August 15th, marks two milestones for our family!

Buxton turns 10 years old today and Kaitlyn turns 3 months old today!

So - here is a picture of Buxton taken today. He has been and continues to be such good company to us. He is quite protective of his little girl, and also jealous at times :), we hope to have several more good and happy years with him! He is probably more popular and better known in our neighborhood than Matt and I are! All the kids just LOVE him! So he should never be at a lack of someone to play with, someone to throw that ball for him! He is just so good with kids and gentle! Matt and I went for a walk the other night in Foxcroft, and there were several boys playing wiffle ball- they were all like "is that Buxton..." - See what I mean- all the kids seem to know him! What a treasure!

Now, onto our baby girl! Kaitlyn Olivia is 3 months old today!

WOW! She is really spoiling us. She is amazing! She is so alert and interested in everything around her. She has started discovering her hands, and enjoys sucking on them. We assume this can only mean she will find that thumb one day! (which, right now I'm not opposed to- since she refuses the Nuk). She rolls from side to side, but that arm and hip still manage to get in the way of the 'flip'.

I love the way her eyes will light up when her mommy or daddy talks to her, and the smiles that she gives you! And probably the best gift she gave me this morning was ME waking up BEFORE her!!! you go girl!

And- we celebrated today by meeting Daddy at the park for a lunch picnic!

We love her so much and feel truly blessed to have her in our lives!
