Hi everyone,

Sorry it's been such a long time since my last post. We've been busy :)

We were up in PA for a week as my Nana had open heart surgery (she is recovering wonderfully--it is truly amazing how an 80 year old woman has so much spunk!!!). And in the midst of these past few weeks, our computer bit the dust so I was waiting for a new one. I also got a job teaching a master's level course with University of Phoenix online. I start training next Tuesday...wish me luck!

So now onto Casey-bug. She is doing great as usual. She is marine crawling all over the place, going from her belly to sitting and starting to try and pull herself up on everything. Therefore, we moved her crib all the way down and started really baby proofing our whole house. Fun, fun!

We hope you are all doing well and enjoying what finally feels like beautiful fall weather.

Take care and enjoy the pictures!!
Love,

Katie, Kyle, Casey and Jim

Hi All...

Quick update. We are doing great. Enjoying the beautiful weather with lots of walks and sleeping with the windows wide open. Casey got her first tooth last Monday (bottom, front, right) and the one next to it is soon to come. She is trying very hard to crawl. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks, and then falls forward. It won't be long until she's mobile and then what!???!! He he he!

Hope you are all doing well.

Take care.

Love,

Katie, Kyle, Casey and Jim

Can you tell how much I love carrots??!






Hi Everyone :)
Just a quick update. All is well in Maryland. Casey had her first ear infection last week. Not too much of a big deal. I noticed she was very fussy on Monday, Tuesday she slept A LOT and then Wednesday she woke up with stuff draining from her ear. She's been on Amoxil and feeling just fine! At the doctor that day she weighed 17lbs, so clearly it did not affect her appetite. She's now eating squash, carrots and sweet potatoes along with her rice cereal in the mornings.


Our Labor Day picnic was not a big one, just a few friends...it was HOT that day, but college football in the cool living room was a big hit!!!


Heading to PA this weekend for our friends wedding celebration--CONGRATS Abby and Amaury!


Enjoy the pics--talk soon~
Love,


Katie, Kyle, Casey and Jim

Four and a half months :)

Casey and the "bride" at the hair salon. I think Cami Stehly was making her laugh in the this picture!
The one and only picture I have of the bride--LOL! Smile :)
I love this picture. So serious!
...and then not so serious. She loves to eat!
Wearing shoes :) :)

Hi Everyone,

All is well in Maryland. Starting to feel more and more settled in. Weather has been beautiful. It's awesome to sleep with the windows open and there's a fabulous breeze off the bay most nights! Heather and Craig's wedding was great. We had a wonderful time. Casey looked adorable in her dress, I'll post pics of that as soon as I get some. As you can see, I only took one good picture of Heather that day...right before we went into the reception.

Casey's doing great. She loves to have her cereal twice a day now. She's working on sitting up on her own, but her newest trick is to throw her head back and look at the world upside down. Sometimes it scares me, but it is too cute!

Kilian's were down to visit last weekend for Kyle's birthday, great visit. This week the Dapkiewicz's are visiting Thursday-Friday and Jenna's visiting Friday-Sunday. We're having a little gathering for Labor Day next Saturday, too.

Hope to see many of you down here visiting soon!!!!

Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey and Jimmy

Hi Everyone :)
She's four months old already?!! How time flies. We had our appointment this morning and she is doing excellent. She weighed 16 lbs and was 25.5 inches long. Which was the 90th and 97th percentile respectively! She is sitting with some assistance, standing up on laps and in the exersaucer, rolling both ways and trying with all her might to move. I can not get over it! She will be telling me what to do by her first birthday, I'm positive!!! She was a trooper getting her shots, too. She cried loudly and as soon as I picked her up, she stopped and started laughing at the techs. We start rice cereal tonight and if all goes well for the next few weeks, we'll be able to start veggies :) :)

We head to PA on Wednesday for Heather and Craig's wedding...we can't wait!! We'll be back on Sunday some time...

Settling in out here in MD. It is just lovely. Please come to visit soon!!!
Enjoy these pictures!!!
Love,

Katie, Kyle, Casey and Jim
