A Post Dedicated to All Things Kathy

Well, my big girl is three!  She is definitely all girl! She was not late, but a few days early. I was eager to try a vbac and up until a week before she was born I was very hopeful. Then that week before her due date the midwife informed me that she had turned back around. I was scheduled for a repeat c-section on her birth date, but went into labor the Friday before. My biggest so far, she weighed in at 9  lbs 4 oz!! 
Kathy has had quite the adventurous life for a 3 year old! When she was 5 months old we began deputation. She was a year old when she took her first trip on a plane across the Atlantic to Scotland. Then at 2 1/2 she took that trip again to live in a, to her, foreign land.
We celebrated with a party on Saturday. She had a tea party with just the girls!! :)  Then on her birthday, yesterday, we had cake with just the four of us (Don, me, Harry and Kathy). She, like Harry, opened gifts from the grandparents while skyping with them.  Before lunch I took her to get her hair cut and she sat still very well! They put sparkly hairspray in her hair since it was her birthday. I'd have to say, except for having a cold, she had a pretty good birthday!  I'll be taking pictures this weekend, weather permitting!  Hopefully she'll be feeling better and up to picture-taking then.

Another Post dedicated to all things Harry

Harry had a great time at his party on Saturday. We had quite a full house. I attempted an Angry Bird cake and Piggy cupcakes. They didn't turn out too bad, but I am definitely not a cake decorator!  Harry, the awesome son that he is, declared it was the coolest cake ever! The party went great. At the end of the day Don went out to grab some pizza for us...I was tired!
Then since he was all dressed up Sunday, I took some pictures.
He's getting to be so big. Such a handsome guy, just like his dad!!

 

Here's a short and fun questionnaire I did with him Saturday. I plan on trying to do one with them every year and see how their answers change.

I don't know, uh, I just want to be someone who lives at home with mom and goes wild....I just want to be the dad, sitting around the house being wild and sometimes I do things for her. (I'm assuming from his last statement that the "mom" would be his wife he's referring to, otherwise, nope, you are not living at home with ME the rest of your life)
