Major life events are happening...<br />1) I spent 10 days in Germany with my mom, Kylie, Aunt Monica, and cousins Crista and Laura. It was an amazing, God-ordained time. We were primarily there for the ISF International Adult Skating Competition in which my mom and Monica competed in. It was so fun! I have to do a post on just that. While I was away, Randy took rockstar dad status to a new level by taking care of our 2 littles for 10 days...by himself..I know--rockstar<br /><br />2) I got back and Randy had a job interview---with a position and place really out of nowhere....and to make a long story short, he took the job, we are moving to Columbia, SC and I quit my job at GPS and will be a stay at home mommy for a while...this situation has so many faucets to it that I'd like to share also in more detail...<br /><br />3) Summer has been crazy...our parents have taken care of our kids, Randy has been doing this with his new job and I have worked 4 weeks of summer camp at GPS...we've looked at houses and are currently trying to work on a contract for a home in SC...we will be first time home buyers which is very exciting. We've been packing, having yard sales and are getting ready to officially move in 5 days.<br /><br />4) I will start blogging more..just as soon as we move and have internet access in our new place of residence...and in between there we will make our annual trek to CAMP FITCH with my family...we always knew when God moved in this situation that everything would happen so fast...<br /><br />5) I have no idea if anyone will read this seeing that I have not blogged in months, but if you made it this far, I applaud you!<br /><br />Blessings to you today!Katie Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04094273390835396260noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161018287683513958.post-76237019684326000772011-05-01T13:09:00.005-05:002011-05-01T13:36:06.710-05:00Anna Kate: 15 months and full of personality!<div align="center">Oh my. These last two months with Anna kate have been so fun. She is a hot mess...just a hot mess...is very opinionated and silly. She can be so fun one minute and then give you the cold shoulder the next minute. We just love her to pieces. Her vocabulary is constantly growing and her interaction with Rody is just plain hilarious---they play really well together and often we can hear giggles and squeals from behind the curtain in their bedroom of them playing hide and seek together...</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">I snapped these last evening as we were outside most of the afternoon playing in the water and grilling out chicken...</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Here she is on the hammock...</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6NcHRBVjEjw/Tb2meQX0L0I/AAAAAAAAFc4/YrcOA3xqgKo/s1600/IMG_7051.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

She is getting so big...and she is communicating more and more..she has new words all the time..she loves her blankie and I caught her counting "one, two" the other day--it was really precious. She has started shaking her head to my questions--even if she means yes! ha!

She is in a big growing phase right now--learning new things and doing new things each day.</div><div align="center">For example, last night I had her in the bath with Rody...let me back up...I had Rody in the bath first alone for a few minutes and she could not stand it. I even tried to block her off from the bathroom and she pitched a fit. The minute I turned my back, she had crawled her self into that bathroom and was standing up on the bath. So, I put her in. I let her play. Then I took her out--and she pitched a fit. I had her on my lap and she was reaching for the bath and since that didn't work, she signed "more"...so I put her in the tub and she was happy as a lark! Until I took her out again and no matter how many more times she signed "more", she did not get her way which was inevitably confusing to her.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TThPZMNfXiI/AAAAAAAAE_s/dBwjl_CfOAk/s1600/IMG_6023.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564284633809378850" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TThPZMNfXiI/AAAAAAAAE_s/dBwjl_CfOAk/s400/IMG_6023.JPG" /></a> She is getting into more and more these days. She is a turbo crawler and has starting walking behind push toys. She pulls up and cruises on anything and stands on her own for short periods of time. She can eat some food--sometimes more than Rody--and is on all table food (except for the fruits that we put in her oatmeal in the morning)<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TThPY41b0yI/AAAAAAAAE_k/gNQi94dW62E/s1600/IMG_6027.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564284628608209698" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TThPY41b0yI/AAAAAAAAE_k/gNQi94dW62E/s400/IMG_6027.JPG" /></a> She can sign "more", "all done" and "please"<br />She can say "mama", "dada", "good night", pease"<br />She blows kisses and gives kisses like it is going out of style<br />She loves to try to feed us and then quickly pull it away and she thinks this is hilarious!<br />She likes to dance...but she dances sitting down on her booty right now--she definitely shakes it to the music.<br /><br />She is so much fun right now--I am enjoying this stage so much. She seems to be getting over her stranger anxiety and seems less attached to me overall.<br /><br />We finished breastfeeding a few weeks ago. She is completely on whole milk and doing great!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Katie Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04094273390835396260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161018287683513958.post-87654559593004335072011-01-16T21:33:00.005-05:002011-01-16T21:49:19.671-05:00snowed in and such<div align="center">Well, the snow is still on the ground a week after the snow fall! We were "sniced" (snowed and iced) in for 4 days. I had Monday-Thursday off of school and had to go back Friday with a late start. It was such a fun week! We just played, hung out, stayed warm and had fun with the kids. We played out in the snow the 2nd day with Rody, but then the snow just got hard and not fun after that...</div><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TTOsP3WFGtI/AAAAAAAAE_c/gDhDHl3FatU/s1600/IMG_6147.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562979353287269074" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TTOsP3WFGtI/AAAAAAAAE_c/gDhDHl3FatU/s400/IMG_6147.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TTOsPhFHEqI/AAAAAAAAE_U/b3bFKEEwuW0/s1600/IMG_6146.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562979347310514850" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TTOsPhFHEqI/AAAAAAAAE_U/b3bFKEEwuW0/s400/IMG_6146.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TTOsPpclLpI/AAAAAAAAE_M/Pq5pXbdqCRs/s1600/IMG_6145.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562979349556440722" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TTOsPpclLpI/AAAAAAAAE_M/Pq5pXbdqCRs/s400/IMG_6145.JPG" /></a> This was his face after a little bit of a meltdown.

We knew nobody was going anywhere...we couldn't...it snowed almost 8 inches...of the nice fluffy snow...Rody played a few times, then he took a 3 hour nap...We got to spend about 2 hours with Anna Kate alone while Rody napped--which was way fun (that does not happen much as you can imagine!), and we topped it off by spending the evening with many of our neighbors--eating dinner, talking, fellowshipping, laughing--so good. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>And tomorrow I have the day off again--so round two! I am blessed for this special time with my little family!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Katie Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04094273390835396260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161018287683513958.post-4257232967600681362010-12-31T22:41:00.002-05:002010-12-31T22:51:17.996-05:00White Christmas<div align="center">The south does not normally see a white Christmas. It had been almost 80 years since Roxboro, NC experienced a white Christmas. Almost 130 years since Atlanta, Ga had a white Christmas. We had a white Christmas 2010...it started to snow noon on Christmas day and we had a couple inches by that evening. It continued to snow until around noon on the 26th and we had a total of around 6 inches...that is A LOT of snow for the south... A LOT...and it was fluffy snow...just loved it!</div><div align="center">We went 4 wheeling, sledding, and just plain playing in the snow...Rody loved it too...</div><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6jofGIDMI/AAAAAAAAE8E/DK46l8_-IaE/s1600/820.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058906159058114" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6jofGIDMI/AAAAAAAAE8E/DK46l8_-IaE/s400/820.JPG" /></a> and I love how the pure whiteness turned out in these pictures...snow is so pure...it was just so white...I felt like I was in Narnia when we were 4 wheeling in the woods...and it reminded me of just how pure Jesus washes our sins..."Those are sins are like scarlet, they are made as white as snow"...wow<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6joWXN2fI/AAAAAAAAE78/wtuSaf2OU2A/s1600/815.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058903814822386" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6joWXN2fI/AAAAAAAAE78/wtuSaf2OU2A/s400/815.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6joFBBlaI/AAAAAAAAE70/Y4afw9CWmss/s1600/813.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058899158341026" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6joFBBlaI/AAAAAAAAE70/Y4afw9CWmss/s400/813.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6jnwBzXzI/AAAAAAAAE7s/o4LBzUd74Ao/s1600/816.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058893524459314" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6jnwBzXzI/AAAAAAAAE7s/o4LBzUd74Ao/s400/816.JPG" /></a> stud<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6jnm_xt-I/AAAAAAAAE7k/OyQ6wvKc_t8/s1600/832.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058891100043234" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6jnm_xt-I/AAAAAAAAE7k/OyQ6wvKc_t8/s400/832.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i_EDcKXI/AAAAAAAAE7c/KS6rqtajCQs/s1600/834.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058194525399410" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i_EDcKXI/AAAAAAAAE7c/KS6rqtajCQs/s400/834.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i-gq9bhI/AAAAAAAAE7U/QqxU6P0O81s/s1600/835.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058185027481106" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i-gq9bhI/AAAAAAAAE7U/QqxU6P0O81s/s400/835.JPG" /></a><br />Anna kate enjoyed it briefly too!<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i-XeG-lI/AAAAAAAAE7M/Ev3rWdTr0GM/s1600/840.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058182557661778" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i-XeG-lI/AAAAAAAAE7M/Ev3rWdTr0GM/s400/840.JPG" /></a> What is this stuff?<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i-avRr-I/AAAAAAAAE7E/v668zK2isZ0/s1600/841.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058183434973154" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i-avRr-I/AAAAAAAAE7E/v668zK2isZ0/s400/841.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i-Mp8HaI/AAAAAAAAE68/RW61uYd11eM/s1600/844.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557058179654491554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lDqmNKzg_4E/TR6i-Mp8HaI/AAAAAAAAE68/RW61uYd11eM/s400/844.JPG" /></a><br /><div>What a great memory.
