Heaven Sent

We have finally got some professional pictures taken of Kira and what can I say but that she is my Angel sent to me from Heaven. You can't tell me you just don't fall in love with that face. Although she was being a little pill all the way through. She would not go to sleep and cried most of the time and when we had her diaper off for a while she pooped in my hands. Not the ideal situation but we did get some nice shots never the less.

The Many Faces of Kira

She makes the funniest faces I just had to capture a few of them so I can remember how cute she was at this age.

Six Week Update

Our Baby Girl is now Six weeks. It's crazy to think about. She is 22 inches long and seems to be getting bigger every minute. She is able to hold her head up really well, and push herself into a standing position. It has been a really fun rollercoaster ride, and usually I am not a big fan of roller coasters. We have now settled into a predictable routine. Mondays and Fridays she stays home with me and we read and I try to get some house work done usually one load of laundry is all that she lets me do. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday she goes and stays with her Grandma Julie and on Thursday she stays with her Pappa Dennis so that I am able to go to work. Kira and I in her cute outfit from Bolivia given to her by her Aunts Kiara and Katie. Thanks girls I just love it and so does she.

She doesn't like to be put down a whole lot right now. So in lieu of not having a carrier I put her in my purse she loves it sleeps like an angel and I am able to get some stuff done while she sleeps.

Cousin Kade has borrowed Kira's Exersaucer he thinks its pretty cool and at least right now she doesn't mind sharing.

We tend to wonder who puts who to bed.

Botched Camping Trip

Andy and I decided to go camping last weekend Oct. 2nd and 3rd. We figured we would just drive and wherever we ended up that is where we would spend the night. It was a fun idea I made tinfoil dinners and we bought marshmallows and since we were taking Andy's parent's camper it wasn't going to be easy and nice and warm.

WRONG! We seemed to have problem after problem.

We weren't able to leave until late Friday night. Which was ok but not ideal. We decided to camp up
Tony Grove and then go for a hike the next morning to White Pine. It was good night we had the heater and lights going and Kira seemed to be enjoying herself as well.

We spent the night there. The next morning we discovered that all our leisurly amenities, like heat and lights caused the battery in the truck to go dead. (Not supposed to get power from the truck) Thankfully we camped in area with a lot of other people, but we had to wait 3 hours until someone could give us a jump. So we couldn't go for our hike because we didn't have enough time now and it was snowing.

So we decide to go somewhere else, only to discover that the trailer batteries don't have enough power. Because of this our options were either to have no power and to freeze, to have power and let the truck battery go dead again and then freeze or to just go home. Odviously we chose option number 3 and came home.

Well all we can say is that we never seem to have boring trips.

New Visitors

Heather, Dean, Aunt Kari and My Grandma all came up and visited a couple of weekends ago. It was nice to see them. They came up to see Kira ofcourse. She gets all the attention now. We played games, and ate and ate and ate, but it was a really great time.
