New Bedroom

Kaelyn LOVE LOVE LOVEs her new bedroom! She has been excited about it as we've put it together.  We moved her in on Tuesday night and she adjusted just perfectly. Fell asleep right away without calling us but  then did wake up about an hour early. We wondered if she'd come to our room or if she'd call us - no such luck. She arrived at our door, much to the dog's confusion! The first nap went well too - 2.5 hours! It's been smooth sailing thank goodness ;-) Don't forget - to watch the video below, first pause the music in Kaelyn's PlayList (down a little on the right side).

Happy Easter!

Kaelyn really enjoyed her first year of decorating Easter eggs!  Luckily she likes to eat them too cuz there are a lot of leftovers ;-)

And she wrote him a note and left a carrot - which was of course gone in the morning!

And she thoroughly enjoyed the hunt for Easter Eggs despite the chilly weather.

Even Kingston got into it - although the bunny seems resistant to leaving Kdog any goodies!

The final basket was under the sink...

And the bunny even left a chair for the new bedroom...

Which she was sure to try out right away!

Grandkid Photos

We had a nice visit from Carly, Stephanie and Auntie Jen during their spring break.  We decided it was time to do an official photo of the grandkids since we have never done that (and conveniently Gramma W's bday was coming up so it made for a perfect gift)!  We had fun shopping for coordinated outfits and ended up with two different options.  We had a hard time picking favorite photos so we ended up giving her two different sets of three!!

Spring Photo Shoot

I saw this beautiful field of yellow wild flowers and couldn't resist taking Kaelyn over there for a Spring Photo Shoot.  It ended up to be a pretty gnarly photo shoot.  First we had to park on a busy street and risk life and limb just to get out of the car. Then we had to cross the busy road! When we finally got to the flowers, we had to walk "into" them (since there was no path!) and there were all kinds of gross bugs and creatures.  Needless to say - we were there for 10 minutes only, and it was difficult to get good shots b/c we were both kind of grossed out - but if I wouldn't have told you that story, I bet you never would have guessed! 

The Bobsy Roommates

My friend and old roommate Kelly came to visit last week.  We used to look a lot alike when we lived together - we had the same hairstyle and could pass ourselves off as sisters.  Turns out we are due only 10 days apart with matching little boys, so we had to get an officially "matching" belly pic.  Now I do know that I am getting very big but I have to say that Kelly's stripes make it seem like she doesn't even have a belly!!  

Healthy Eating

KK Bella and I have been trying to concentrate on healthy eating more consistently these days (yes, she has nicknamed herself KK Bella - or KK Beya from her lips -  after reading Auntie Janet's Birth Cross Stitch framed keepsake which says "Kaelyn Isabella").  Last week we made crab stuffed avocados (Yum!).

And home-made RAW applesauce (basically blended apples, some orange zest and fresh squeezed OJ, and cinnamon) topped with Greek Yogurt and Raw Pecans.  Also very yummy.

And with a birthday to celebrate, we did get in a "treat" as well - some brownie cupcakes in the sunshine. What a great week!  We had such nice weather that every time it is "time" to eat, Kaelyn asks to "eat outside"... who can resist a meal al fresco?

Bedroom Progress

Thought I'd post an update on the progress we've made on the bedroom.  Auntie Nancy came for a brief visit last weekend so we hurried the bed so she'd have somewhere to sleep.  Although the plan was to have the dust ruffle covering the bed (and therefore Mike was going to make a bed that wasn't that good looking), Mike got all creative and made a bed that I think is pretty darn cute!
