Pizza Night

Katherine had her first taste of pizza tonight. She seemed to enjoy it, but was too tired to eat very much. Her mom sure enjoyed it, as it was only her second pizza after coming off the dairy/soy free diet. Mmm...maybe we should make every Friday night a pizza night. Why does this sound familiar?

Caught Red-Handed

Dear Katie -

Get your mangy, little paws off of my beloved "Man." I'm not allowed to even sniff your stuff, so stay away from mine! It's only fair. Please.

Sincerely,

An Un-Happy Hound

Stress-Free Holidays?

Now that she's back in her own crib, high chair, and stroller, Katie has had no trouble resuming her old routines. She seems so happy and carefree. Little does she know what her mom and dad does while she sleeps...on-line Christmas shopping, designing a Christmas card, putting up the holiday decorations, etc., etc. Phew - remember how much more fun Christmas was when we were kids?

Heads of State

Congrats to the East Grand Rapids Pioneer football team, 2007 Michigan Division 3 champs. It took 5 overtimes to win this weekend, but they grabbed their 6th state championship since getting rid of the likes of Mike!
In other high school football news, Mike's nephew Ben's current stomping ground, Joliet Catholic Academy, won the Illinois 6A state championship. Future soccer championships to come...right Ben?

I'm Back!

Happy belated Thanksgiving, everybody! Sorry for the lag in posts, but we were off to Michigan for the big holiday. After being an angelic traveler through multiple airports, Kate had a blast hanging out with her Grandma M., aunts, uncles, and cousins. She ate her first "turkey and all the trimmings" dinner and LOVED the jello salad. (She usually only eats fresh fruit for dessert, so this was a real treat for her.) She also enjoyed watching countless hours of football with everybody. Since our digital camera was acting up, we took most of our pictures with our old-school film camera. Therefore, we'll post a picture or two later this week when we get them on CD.

We had a better video of Katie playing her new favorite instruments, but we like this one for the outtake that cuts it short...

Cart Jockey

Is there a cuter shopping companion that this? Katie seems to be practicing the look that will eventually manipulate me into dropping anything in the cart that she wants.
