Hi All:

Just a few quick pictures to share w/you of our trip to Hilton Head this weekend...we had a great time. Enjoyed a nice dinner, great breakfast, and the beach and some shopping!!

Casey, Jimmy, and I are headed to PA tomorrow. (Well, we're driving to DC tomorrow -- and then to PA on Wednesday morning!)

More soon~~
Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Baby K, and Jimmy

Laying down, profile view...legs are curled up and crossed here.
Looking right at us...little scary/alien like, I know!

Hard to tell exactly what is what here, but the tech was documenting that the legs were all tucked up and crossed so we couldn't tell at this point what the gender was!

Ready to take the princess helmet off...

Me and my helmet!

Who doesn't just wear there bike helmet around the house all day...Joey?? Sound familiar? At least hers doesn't outweigh her!

Hi All:

Just wanted to add a few new pictures...
All is well down here. After a bit of a storm last night, we have more beautiful weather in the forecast for the next 7 days! (Although, Casey, Jim and I leave for PA on Tuesday, so could you please make sure the weather is nice up there, too!!!)

Yesterday, Kyle and I went for an ultrasound for new baby K as we has some abnormal screening test results...BUT, all looked great w/baby and we are pretty positive it is another baby girl! We are just thrilled that baby is healthy and we'll have a follow up ultrasound in 4 weeks to confirm gender! woo hoo!

Here are some pictures of Casey and her new little sister!

Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, baby sister, and Jim

Happy Second Birthday, Casey...and Happy Easter Everyone!

Had a beautiful day down here yesterday---it has been just wonderful weather this whole past week...if only there were no BUGS!!!

Sherri, Robert, and Alex were staying in Hilton Head this past Thursday-today (Monday the 5th)...so we got to spend a lot of time w/them. Casey and I went to their hotel twice and Casey got to play on the beach which she LOVES. The guys got to go out fishing on the boat-- no fish, but still think they had a memorable day!

On Easter, Casey got up and hunted eggs, enjoyed her Easter basket and then we all went to a beautiful Easter service at our church. We got home, had a quick snack and I got dinner going. Sherri, Robert, and Alex came for dinner and Casey's birthday celebration. The food was great, Casey enjoyed opening her gifts and LOVED her "princess" cake--which wasn't really a princess cake, but it was pink and therefore, she called it a princess cake!?! LOL!

Anyway, it was a really nice week...even more good weather headed our way, so lots of fun outside planned. And next week, Casey I leave to head to PA (on Tuesday)--we should be there Wednesday! Hope to see ya soon!!!

Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, and Jim

The New and Improved Stay Classy

Here are the most recent pictures of the boat w/her new paint job. Kyle worked SOOO hard on this project over the past few months...got help from my dad w/the primer for two days, but otherwise, he sanded and painted and sanded and painted his heart out. The finished project looks great!
Great work Kyle!!!

Hi Everyone...

Three quick updates~~

1. Had my 16 week appointment today and heard Baby K's heartbeat again today...nothing like it in the world! We are all scheduled for the BIG ultrasound on 4/27...then we'll know if it's a baby brother or a baby sister!

2. Have to share this story. On our way home from Parris Island today (Casey was there for the morning while I had my appt and then a hair appt and then went b'day shopping for her)...she fell asleep. However, she wasn't totally out yet, because a song came on the radio that she loves (Miley Cyrus--Party in the USA) and at one point in the song Miley says, "...hands up, there playing my song..." and I see Casey's hands fly into the air and she starts bopping from side to side---but her eyes are shut and and head is still all relaxed...it was soooo funny. It lasted about 15 seconds and then she was out again! Love her...

3. One more Casey story. Last night when we were getting ready for our dinner out at Chick Fil-A...we headed out to the car and Casey ran out into the alley. I firmly told her NO and then we had a talk about being safe and how it would hurt really bad if she ever got hit by a car, etc., etc... Well, Casey is constantly asking, "WHY" these days and when I was done w/my lecture on safety, she says.........."WHY"...so I say, "Because I love you..." and she says back, "So much."
Priceless....

Hope you are all well!!!

Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey and Jimmy

End of March

Guess who???
Just thrilled!!

YUMMY!!!

Make a wish!

The cake...

Opening gifts...

The birthday girl!

So excited for the party to start!

All ready to go!

The Amazing Spiderman has arrived at the Kilian's!

First ponytail!

WOW...
So sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I've hardly taken pictures this month either...with one exception, yesterday was the heavily anticipated birthday party--the SPIDERMAN party for Casey. What a blast. She was so excited. Even jumping around when she got up from her nap and saw all of her decorations saying, "I so happy, I so happy!" Priceless.

All is well in SC. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for 16 week check up and should get my referral for my big ultrasound. Feeling better these days, but still tired...

Casey is really starting to talk more and more like a big girl, using short sentences and stringing more words together...so cool. She LOVES to play outside and with her neighbors (who are big kids)...she's all signed up for swim lessons in May. When we went up to see my sister and family last week she LOVED her airplane rides and was a VERY good little traveler. People kept complimenting her and saying she must fly often--nope, just enjoying travel like her mom and dad!

Kyle is ALMOST done w/the boat...one more coat of paint and it should be complete. It is really starting to get warm down here and he's hoping to take a longer lunch break one day this week to finish it up.

Our trip home last week was bittersweet, it is always nice to see family, but stinks that it was under the circumstances that one of us is not in the best of health. Thanks for all of your prayers and kind thoughts -- they really help to sustain us all through the rough parts of our lives. We couldn't believe how well Payton gets around these days...much to Casey's dismay--Payton now takes toys away from her and the two of them had some issues w/sharing for the first of I'm sure many more times. And little Dyllan--well, really not so little, but what a sweetie-pie!

Well, enjoy the pictures and we'll hope to see many of you in April. Casey and I will be home from about 4/13-4/18 or so.

Love,

Katie, Kyle, Casey, and Jim
