She's 5

She's 5!
It seems like it was just the other day I heard the phone ring.
My mom called to tell me I had a new niece.
Her name was Katharine Ella.
Little did I know that day would forever change my life.

Being an Aunt to Kate made me see things in a new way, and she was the first of the three....and maybe one more!
I'm so fortunate to be Aunt Emily....

And, you will see her beauty in these shots.
Simply, yet classic...Kate.

Swinging. TU Shirt. Sticker. Pink Camouflouge Rain Hat.

No better.

And, I'll leave you one with her attitude. She has days like that too. We all do.

Kate flipping out

Kate turned 5....and she had her party at Gymnastics Center of some sort.....where she flipped out. Literally. 17 flips or so...all the way to the ceiling. The pictures don't even begin to capture... but the video did.

She was impressive.

Will

Same weekend in Texas....wonderful Will. That boy has a heart of gold...I'm serious.
He was sick on Kate's birthday, but he came to the party at the end and was able to do a little playing. Here is a shot of him with his dad...it makes me see the resemblance.
His blue blue eyes....he's going to capture hearts, that's for sure.

Love that boy!

Andrew

It's been a while since I've posted anything.
I keep posting to this blog... but I know like three friends that read it and one family member....

I'll keep on I suppose. It's fun.

Here's Andrew. He's 13 months in these photo's. The first one is of him in the playhouse...the second story, playhouse. He was proud of himself for climbing to the top. He had us on our toes. He also had longer hair...



The next one is of the two of us....the day after he had his real big boy haircut with the shaver....the one that didn't just cut with scissors this time. He looked suddenly much older....

I like him peeking out at me...binky and all. He doesn't get it much, really. In fact, I think I stole it from him shortly after I shot this picture.

Same day.... love his smile..and you can see his locks... he's a sweetie. He's walking everywhere now!
