"Kate, that's not for kids". Repeat.

 Not quite enough hair for product YET.

 Already an Apple girl

 Nothing beats climbing in the dishwasher

 The corporate look

Too cute!

Pinterest Project

My new favorite website, pinterest.com, is both a wonderful time waster and also full of cute ideas.  What makes it particularly dangerous is it makes these cute ideas seem so easy!  Enter our first successful pinterest project - book storage for Kate's room.  

Kate has new "bookshelves"!

 Close-up, side view

So with a little fabric, double curtain hooks, dowel rods, multiple swear words and a minor marital dispute, we have success!!

Happy New Year!

2011 was our best year yet!  We can't wait to see what 2012 brings!!

And so this is Christmas

Kate had a great First Christmas!  She had fun visiting with friends and family and got more presents than she knows what to do with!

 

 Grandma Sand is hilarious!

 Cousin Ryan with his nose in a book.

 Do you have a license to drive that?

 You have to have a family picture in front of the tree, right?

10 Months

Kate turned 10 months this week!

 This is the best I could get!

 Then I got this..

And this was how it ended.

Holiday Helper

Kate has been a huge help around the house over the past few weeks!

 She is an enthusiastic shopping partner.

 She enjoys "reorganizing" the kitchen cabinets.

She likes to help her dad cook.

And, she loves to flush the toliet!

Action Shots

When Kate was born Drew got me a nice camera.  I'm finally starting to experiment with the different settings, shutter speeds and lighting options.  I still have NO idea what I'm doing but am having lots of fun playing!  It also helps having a charming subject :)

Alright, mom, enough with the pictures already.
