that means the world to me. Kate has been such a trooper over the past 8 months with moving to a new town, sharing mommy with not only a new sister, but one who required/requires lots of attention and care. This little girl keeps me on my toes and always offers up a new challenge - good and bad!! I love her more than words can express. She wears many hats around our house, here are a few.
ADVENTURER (swinging at the new playground we found - just in time for spring!)
PLAYFUL ONE
EXCELLENT LITTLE MOMMY (her babies were taking a bath in a big tub like Grammy and Pops's house)
CRAZY
INNOVATIVE (We decided to paint our body with glitter glue - what a mess!)
EXPERIMENTER ("I was getting the last little bit, mommy." - pudding out of a snack cup while putting Addison down for a nap. Not sure why the sour face - I could not keep from laughing when she told me the story.
SCIENTIST (Water table at the Wonder Place in Little Rock)
MOMMY'S HELPER
I cannot do a post about our Kate girl without sharing a few of her most recent funny stories. Last Tuesday as I was getting her out of the car for bible study she proceeds to tell me that her parts were talking (that is what we call our girl stuff). I said really, what were they saying. I'm not sure what all she said, but something about them laughing came out - you never know with this girl!
I had another one to share but my memory is getting awful. There are so many moments with this girl that just crack me up. You never know what is going to come out of her mouth. And yes, she loves to be naked - we have one rule -must always wear panties!
One of the most important things to this little girl right now is her doll house. Oh my goodness - I am so glad we decided to get this for Kate for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. Morning, noon and night she is requesting that you play doll house with her. If you visit our house - you will play doll house - no one is off limits (including Chris's resident friends - yeah, that's right Neil and Blaine have played doll house - the secret's out).
Most of all Kate is the best big sister Addison could ever ask for. She is always on watch for her - making sure she doesn't eat something off the floor (her babies have food allergies -too cute), climb on the fireplace and she better not get near the doll house!!

Cute pics of Kate! Good to hear that Addison adjusted well to the different formula. You are such an amazing example of a mother, praise God for your heart and dedication to your girls and your family. It's crazy to think about us in college, not yet knowing what life had in store. Remember, God gives us everything we need to fulfill His plan in our lives.
We miss you Kate! You are getting so big and beautiful!
So sweet! They are soooooo cute together!
What a wonderful big sis!
SUCH a big girl! I loved reading the stories...you never know what is going to come out of their mouths. And I especially love how she watches out for Addison (and the part about her babies having food allergies, too). SO sweet!
Your stories are precious. You will be so happy when you look back and read all that you documented during this time.
Kate is a precious imp! She looks to keep you on your toes.
I hate that we are missing out on getting to see Kate & Addison (and you & Chris as well) but hopefully Addison will pick up on the fact that we aren't strangers when we are done in Ohio.
what a sweet post and sweet pictures. she's just growing up so fast!
she may start saying that she is allergic to things she doesn't want to eat. hayes does. :)
