Christmas Pictures...

Christmas pictures... thanks to organized Auntie Gina. Check out Kate's Shutterfly Collection.

The Dreaded Flu

Poor little munchkin has had the flu the past two days... seems to be bouncing back, and hasn't lost her cookies since Thursday morning. Yes, a little chaos the morning of Mommy's big work event when I stepped out of the shower to have Kate lose her breakfast all over my clothes... to which she exclaimed"oh-oh" and motioned to me to clean it up (the humor of the whole scene did make it a little easier to handle). Grandma Mary saved the day when she arrived at noon to help us out!

Helloooo

More photos (including Christmas) to follow shortly! Yes, I know it's almost February...

Kate's latest...

The Phone - she loves all phones and pretends that almost anything can be a phone (remote controls, calculators, etc). She walks around with it on her shoulder saying "helloooo" and "yah" while she plays with other toys. I guess she's got multi-tasking down at 15 months!

Our Little Rockstar

Kate had a busy weekend... she spent Friday night with Uncle Dan while Mom and Dad were out and about checking out a magazine launch party and a band at the Uptown Bar

Saturday she was a trooper as we hung at Best Buy... dancing in the aisles and taking over the Magnolia showroom, making it her own dance party while Dad dreamed.

After Sunday brunch at Turtle Bread, she made her first trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts for ROCK THE CRADLE! She had a blast in the baby disco and pointed out lots of portraits of babies and dogs as we moved through the galleries. Had a very nice dinner with her cousins Syd and Tess, and Uncle Steve tonight while Auntie Gigi worked.

Continued special prayers go out to Auntie Joyce, who is back at Abbott Northwestern with complications with her chemo

Kate's latest...
"JUMP" - even better than Van Halen. She grins, yells 'jump', and does a little squat and bounces off the ground. There was even air-time tonight!

"SPIN" - one of her mean dance moves, she has learned how to spin in circles and make herself dizzy!

Feeding her babies - she likes to feed a bottle to all her dolls, from Ashley Barbara (her cabbage patch baby) to the Little People baby and Baby Jesus from her nativity set.

"AHHH-CHOO" - the cute fake sneeze followed by a grin
