Mitch is 2, yes 2

On 8.20.13 Mitch turned two. He is getting so big I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. He had a 'Cars' themed party and family and friends gathered to celebrate. He is suck a lucky boy! He is growing well, although he had a bout with pnuemonia two weeks ago that gave us a good scare. I never want to have to deal with that again. Of course when he was getting in trouble here at home is when I knew he was doing better! He is talking so much now also, new words everyday. My very talented cousing, Heather, came down from Chicago this summer to photograph Mitch for his 2 year and she got some great shots of him and Katelyn. She is so great and did will when they weren't in the best of moods. I hope she will keep taking their photos in the future if she is available! Here are just a few of the shots she took...

As a side note, Katelyn is getting so big also. Literally she is super tall! It is so hard to buy jeans for her! She is also very smart and impresses me everyday with her intelligence. I am so proud of her. She loves pre-school and cannot wait to turn 5 so she can go to kindergarten! I wish I could slow down time!

Meeting the twins!

This past Saturday we made the trip to see Kevin and Hillary and their newborn twins. I myself, as well as Katelyn, were super excited to meet them. Morgan and Addison are identical but we could tell them apart by several small differences. Morgan was a lot lighter in color but was bigger than her sister Addison. (Another way was that Morgan was in the white blanket and Addison was in the pink blanket!) They were both beautiful and are already loved by all of their new family. We spent the day with them and reluctantly left in the evening. I wish we could spend more time with them but as always new parents need time to adjust to, in their case, to 2 babies! We also know that Jack will be the best big brother to his new sisters. Katelyn asked many times to hold her new cousins and I am happy that I got to feed each one a bottle. Here are pictures from that day...

 

Party Time!

As promised here are the photos from Katelyn's birthday party...

Happy 4th birthday Katelyn

This post is a little late! We want to wish our beautiful little girl a wonderful and happy birthday! I cannot believe its been 4 years already! She loved her art easel, we let her have it on her birthday, her party is planned for tomorrow. She is super excited and is really looking forward to her party. She loves being around her family and friends. We got balloons today and have the house all decorated. Her theme is Rapunzel from the movie Tangled. I plan on taking lots of pictures!
