Kate's Blessing

Sleeping . . .

Kate has just started to sleep through the night! That is always an exciting thing. She is doing great and growing, growing, growing! She's starting to coo and smile a lot more and is lots of fun.

GRADUATION

Hooray! I finally officially graduated. I received my diploma in the mail a couple of days ago. What a great feeling! I’m so glad to have that behind me. Somehow it all worked out- I finished my internship ten days before Kate was born. I received my bachelor’s degree in accounting. So exciting! Here’s a few pics with me and the girls . . .

And since Nick graduated before I started this whole blog thing he didn’t get a post. But CONGRATULATIONS to Nick! Way to go! He received his bachelor’s degree in Animal Science last December.

Fun in the Garden!

We have had so much fun the last few weeks being able to eat from the garden! We planted the garden hoping that something would grow and it has actually turned out really good! Lucy loves to go out and help me pull weeds and pick "salad". She's really grown up a lot since Kate was born and is a pretty big help.

I am beginning to wonder about the peas though. Are they really worth it? I mean it's great to be able to go out to the garden and have a few peas from the pod, but- I shelled peas for over half an hour the other night and ended up with this . . .

Barely enough for dinner!

Update On Our Last Six Weeks . . .

Roommate Reunion!

This past weekend we were in Utah while Nick was shoeing horses. Poor Nick was sweating away in the 100 degree heat, but the rest of us had fun. We got to see family, go to the zoo, and have a get together with old roommates.

Fun in Oregon!

Lucy, Kate, and I have been in Oregon for almost three weeks now. We came for a family reunion at the coast and redwoods and had lots of fun! It was so great to see everyone. Nick went home a week ago and is coming back this weekend to drive horses for someone at a show near Bend and will take us home. Lucy has been having a great time with Grandma & Grandpa Bailey. Kate is a great baby and has already grown tons. Here are LOTS of pictures of our trip . . .

The beautiful Oregon coast! Just a bit cold . . .

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

WE LOVE YOU!
