Boating

We went out on the boat today for the first time. Katelyn and Abby had a blast.

Katelyn drove the boat and figured out where the horn was. Garrett let her drive again as we were heading toward the dock and I wonder what everyone was thinking as we pulled in blaring the horn every two seconds. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Camping

We went camping near Mt. Evans yesterday. Katelyn had a great time. It was a lot of work chasing her around the campsite, but she had fun collecting pine cones and playing in the dirt. It was getting pretty cold and the heater wasn't working in our camper so we decided to head home around 7:30 before it got really cold and too dark to pack up if we were miserable.

Abby doesn't like riding in the car, and she doesn't look too thrilled to be sitting next to Katelyn.

We drove up to the top of Mt Evans and saw lots of animals on the way.

Abby was very excited to see snow





Too much excitement

Who is this toddler?

I realized part of why I haven't been updating the blog as much lately. I have no pictures of Katelyn! I am so busy just chasing after her and trying to keep her out of trouble that I haven't even gotten the camera out in awhile. She is definitely keeping me very busy. She is able to reach stuff from off of the kitchen table and counter tops. I find sippy cups in the food cabinet and dolls in the drawers in the kitchen. I am getting exhausted just thinking about how busy she is.

In baby news, things have been going well this week. I have had a pretty tough couple of weeks dealing with the gestational diabetes issues. I had gestational diabetes with Katelyn, but wasn't diagnosed until I was about 8 months pregnant and with this baby they have been monitoring my blood sugars since my first appointment. To make a long story short, I am now doing one insulin shot a day. Hopefully it stays at just one for the rest of the pregnancy!

Here is the only recent picture I could find of Katelyn actually looking at the camera!

Finally an update

We had our first trimester screen today and everything looks great with the new baby. The baby slept through the entire thing. I remember when we had Katelyn's, she was like a jumping bean!

Here are a few pictures of Katelyn from this weekend. She found my hair brush and decided to brush her own hair. She also had her first pig-tails this weekend. Her hair is to the point that we have to do something with it. You can see from the pictures that it is out of control!

Katelyn likes to be wrapped up in a blanket. It is one of the rare moments when she will sit still for more than two seconds.

Big News!

For those of you that haven't heard, Katelyn is going to be a big sister! We had our first appointment today, and everything looks great. I finally feel comfortable sharing with the world, even though most of the world already knows thanks to my mom and Garrett's mom :)

Our due date is December 11th, so Katelyn and the new baby will be almost exactly two years apart. December is going to be quite crazy around our house.

Zoo

We went to the zoo today. Katelyn had a blast. She loved looking at all of the animals.

Blizzard

I am officially over winter. When is summer coming?

We got about 2 feet of snow over the weekend. It is gone now because it has been 70 since then, but still I am done with snow!
