Vacation Slide Show

Emerald Isle 2008

Here we are again... this is the 5th year in the "Big house" together for vacation...Let's see... we vacation with (now stick with me here) Me, Matt, Kaitlyn, with my Mom and Dad, with my sister and her husband- Sean and then their two girls; Hannah and Emma. My Brother sometimes comes (if he can afford to sit work aside for a couple of days). Plus Sean's Mom and Dad and plus Sean's sister- Tiffany and her 3 kids; Madison, Atticus, and Samantha... did you get all that. It's a BIG HOUSE alright! We have plenty of room! (think goodness :o) )

We tend to eat way too much sugar, and just way too much in general, we sit for hours on the beach and do basically nothing, we nap, we eat, we play, we walk, we eat, we build sand castles, we eat, and so on- you get the drift!!

This is K's first time to the ocean and on sand! I think she likes it ok.

Of course here are some pictures to share...

Kristy's 30th

I just read on my friend Kristy's blog that she was going to (eventually) post some pictures of her 30th birthday party.... AND.... that reminded me that I had some to share as well... so HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kristy.... so who cares if it's been over a month ago... :)
N-Joy...

MMMM Carrots

Really... need I say more than this.....

hmmm.... hands or carrots....tough choice!


What F-U-N!!!

Weekend Trip

We went to PA this past weekend. It really is good to visit family there and spend time together. We had some precious moments together.
Here are some pix....

4 Months

W-O-W!! I know it's hard to believe, but Kaitlyn is already 4 months old!
She is weighing in at 11lbs- 7 oz; and 23.5" long... she is progressing along the 25th percentile line, and right on track for her height and weight!
SHE continues to spoil US! She really is making things easy on us. Mommy gets plenty of sleep, she is not terribly fussy (now she does have her moments!), she can melt you with her smile, she holds on tight and you feel her love!

Children are soooo trusting! What a lesson to remember as we adults walk through our daily lives... trust our Father, our Heavenly Father, just as our children trust without hesitation. What great reminder to have in our lives!

She has just recently started to eat cereal.... with a spoon... :0) Boy- this sure has been fun! She is really getting the hang of it, and maybe this week we'll introduce another item to spice things up a little! hahah

These little BUMBO seats are a-w-e-s-o-m-e! It is a great thing to feed her in- she loves being able to sit up and look around.... although she does still occasionally slump over :o)

Being a parent is way more fun, exciting, rewarding, scary, thrilling than I ever thought possible! We continue to learn so much about ourselves through this process of parenting. Lord, continue to pour out your favor and grace into our family!

He said I could....

I had to laugh this afternoon :) Kaitlyn needed to be changed so Matt offered, as he does often! Well, lately she has been waiting for us to take her diaper off, and then pee again! I'd say the last 9 out of 10 times she has done this do us... so that in itself is pretty funny! Matt even told her he was going to wait a few more minutes before taking her diaper off, just in case... well she didn't listen! So, yes she did pee with the diaper off, so her little onesie outfit got wet and Matt had to change her clothes as well...

I had been working in the kitchen, and when i came into the living room to check out the situation he had her lying on the floor playing with the floor mat thingy and this is how she looked :0)

Now, granted- she does look happy! But that might be because I was laughing at, i mean with, her! Notice the snaps on the left- they aren't snapped to anything, as well as between her legs... oh - how he tries! I told him "I should take a picture of this" he said "Go ahead" :o) so i did!

And... here is a picture after Mommy got a hold of her!

Now, isn't that much better :o)

I also have to post a picture that Daddy took today!

I just love this little dress that Kaitlyn is wearing today! It was one that I actually bought for a friend of ours, and she lent it back to us to borrow for a while! Thanks Kristy! It's so cute on her!!! She looks so girly with those little pink shoes and white frilly socks on too!

Another Great Sunday at the Landis Home!!
