Hello vacation!

We have been horrible about taking pictures lately. Sorry! We spent last weekend in Moscow, ID celebrating the retirement of Fr. Joe! I worked for him for the year we were in Moscow. He's one of the most magnificent human beings ever. It was a wonderful celebration. We also got to spend time with Grandpa, Grandma and Auntie Sallie. Kaylin adores her Auntie Sallie. One of the nights Gus tucked Kaylin into bed and shut the two doors to the room on his way out. Peg comes downstairs to Gus and I laughing and asked,"Where do you think Kaylin is?" Great question. Apparently, she got out of bed, opened her two doors, opened the door to where Auntie Sallie was staying and walked right in with her blankies, Big Bird and all. She crawled into bed with Sallie and got to have some books read to her. When I brought her back to her bed she said, "But I like Auntie Sallie. I go see Auntie Sallie." Cute little bugger.

Luke is still an amazing sleeper. Unless he's a bit constipated, he's never upset. Oh yeah and he can't breathe out of his nose very well he gets a little irked too. He's smiling more and more and getting a lot of core strength. He's still a little too teetery to really master the excersaucer, but the time is soon! He's grasping things more and is interested in hanging out with me and smiling at me. Well, I'm interested at least.

My first two days of vacation has been mostly cleaning pee from the floor. I decided since I'm home for a straight month that I would try this naked potty training thing. She always pees a little on the floor and then I rush her to the potty and she finishes there. I'm starting to get her squats or postures. If only all I did was stare at her we'd be set. But usually it's when I turn to pick up Luke. Potty training is for the birds.

Have a wonderful weekend. Gus is on call this week so we will be staying put. He's two days into being a senior resident. Which means, he's on call for a week at a time, but not every four days!!!! We've survived the 1st year of ophthalmology residency. It was hit and miss for awhile there. =) Congratulation, Dr. Stein for destroying year one! Two (or three) more to go!

Wow!

A year ago today we found out we were having a baby and now Luke is turning 5 months old tomorrow. He no longer has crying fits (change in diet worked miracles!) and he is weighing in at 14lbs and is pure delight. If he would have been our first born we would have had another right away! =) For example, last night I laid him in his bed, awake and two minutes later he put himself to bed (no tears) and slept from 7pm until 4am. Really? I didn't know babies could do that until he came along. What a sweet boy!

Time with the Eddys


We were lucky enough to get to spend time with Team Eddy and Team Kaufman (and friends) for Dr. Amy Eddy's graduation weekend. Kaylin had a great time with Noah and even quotes him now by starting sentences by saying, "Hey, I have a great idea..." We were a spectacle to say the least. 7 children, all who have some energy, make for some attention. It was so much fun to spend time with others who completely understand a 2 year old tantrum.


I was getting something from the kitchen and when I came back I realized one, my daughter was very particular about all the place settings matching and two, she was feeding Luke "cereal" regardless of how he felt about it.

Goldilocks is big right now. PSSS...this is too hot...

TIRED!















We made it back from Minnesota. It was wonderful- however, I am so tired so I'm going to let the pictures tell the story and then I'll add later!

This is what happened when she was supposed to be sleeping

Sesame Street Live


Fun for the whole family! She watched and watched and would quietly say, "There's Elmo!, There's Cookie!" Then in the car she talked about it for the whole 45 minute drive. She must get that from her father.


This video was taken when I was taking a nap. =)

Kaylin and one of her favorite people ever, Auntie Sallie. We didn't know if we were going to be able to peel her away from Auntie Sallie. "Auntie Sallie so fun!"



Luke and Cousin Charlie. The boys are 12 days apart. Charlie has him beat in weight but Luke is longer than he is. Imagine that. MY child taller than someone. I'm still in a bit of shock.
