Sibling Fun

Those of you with more than one child know that there is no sweeter sound than that of lisening to your kids tryingto make each other laugh louder and harder than the other :)

Catelynn's class celebrates the end of the year with a picnic on the beach. It was pretty cool for mid-June ( where is summer?) so we didn't think Catelynn would dare go into the water past her ankles. Boy, were we wrong - she wandered further and further in until she managed to get completely covered. After a quick clothing change Catelynn was up and running around again.

Stepping Up Ceremony

Just before we left for vacation Ken and I attended her stepping up ceremony at preschool. It has only been 2 1/2 month but Catelynn's speach has made great improvements and she LOVES school. I couldn't help but cry watching her sing with the other kids and follow with all the body movement animation. Sh was very excited when she finally spotted us after scanning the crowd of parents.

Colin's 4 month stats

Colin is becoming quite a big boy. At his 4 month Dr's visit his stats are:

height - 26 inches ( 75% )
weight - 18 lbs 6 ounces ( 95% )
head circum. - 42.5 cm ( 75 %)

At Home on a Horse

i will post more pictures from our trip to Lancaster, PA soon but I wanted to post these of our beautiful catelynn for those of you not using Facebook yet. We were so proud of our " big girl." She handled herself with a maturity way beyond her years, following the stable owner's directions diligently. She took the whole matter very seriously and looked like she was born to sit on top of a horse. I know I'm a proud mama but I don't think I have ever seen Catelynn look more beautiful than when she first looked down at me from up on the horse. I wish I had been able to capture it with my camera but I was so stunned at how mature and beautful she looked that I just couldn't move.

For those of you close enough to go, we HIGHLY recommend a trip to Lancaster, PA. So much so that we all plan on going back in September. The Strasburg Railroad museum is AWESOME and the train ride through Dutch country is spectacular.
