So thankful for all the diapers -- they'll definitely be put to good use...ha ha!

The "big kids"....McKenzie, Jake, and Casey

The food--YUM! Everything was soooo good!

And my very talented friend, Stacy, MADE this cake - diaper bag cake complete with a little blue fondant dress and shoes =) She is awesome and the cake was too!!!

Fireworks on opening night at the Beaufort Water Festival!

Casey patiently waiting some more!


Hi all~
Hope you all are doing well. We had a busy July. My parents arrived on Wednesday night July 14 and stayed with us until Monday evening the 19th. We had a lot of fun: swimming, shopping, the guys got to fish, and we managed to squeak in an afternoon at the beach, too!

Not too much else going on here. Casey got her pre-school teacher assignment and supply list the other day in the mail...so excited for her (and she is too). We bought her glue sticks last night at WalMart (on her supply list) and she just BEAMED carrying them through the store! ha!

I'm feeling pretty good. Getting more tired and having some nausea again (woo hoo)...but otherwise doing well. My friends down here put together a Celebration of Baby Kendall this past weekend and it was just so nice. Casey really enjoyed going to her baby sister's party, though she had a little trouble understanding why the guest of honor wasn't "coming out" of my belly to enjoy the party--and especially the cake! ha!

Well, hope you are all well~ we have another doctor appointment this week. I'll be 32 weeks on Tuesday and we'll let you know if there's anything exciting to share, but since I'll just be starting my 8th month, I think we have some time yet--especially if Kendall is anything like her big sister (who needed a little assistance in making her entrance into the world!)

Take care ~

Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Baby Kendall, and Jimmy

Waiting for the fireworks on 4th of July---do you think she enjoyed her chocolate ice cream???

Hi All~
Hope you are all well! Things are good down here! It's still been pretty hot and humid...although 4th of July weekend was gorgeous. We spent the first part of the weekend in Myrtle Beach, where we picked up Kyle's parents on the 4th. We returned to Beaufort that day and went to fireworks that night. Casey really seemed to enjoy them, but as it got later, she said she was scared and then fell asleep!

We had a really nice time w/the Kilian's. Spent lots of time playing and at the pool. They were a great help w/some projects around the house!

Not too much else new here. Baby K's room is slowly coming together...can't believe she'll be here in about 10 weeks!

The Getz's (my parents) arrive this Wednesday night and will be here until next Monday. Then things "calm" down and we have no visitors planned until after the arrival of our newest family member!

I guess the BEST thing that has happened since my last post was that my sister's latest MRI came back clear, so we're all still kind of on a "high" from that wonderful news! God is good.

Well, hope you are all doing well and hopefully I'll post again soon!!!
Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Baby Kendall, and Jimmy

Hi everyone,

Sorry it's been awhile. We've been BUSY. Nothing too crazy, just a lot of day to day things! We started back up with our Monday morning playgroup. It's been a lot of fun and great to see some familiar faces there from last fall. It's neat to see Casey interact with the kids this year as opposed to last fall when she played more by herself. And she really loves at the end when they sing and dance! She's a ham. Otherwise, she's doing great. Loving her pool time!

I'm doing well. I'm at the start of my third trimester now and still feeling pretty good. I hope it lasts. We've really started the work on moving the rooms around. The crib is officially out of Casey's room and in the "baby's room"...kind of weird to not call Casey the baby anymore, but something I think we'll get used to quickly! Ha! Baby is still very active...she gives me a lot more heartburn than Casey...that's for sure!

Kyle is enjoying his move over to Support Battalion. He is the executive officer there now instead of Second Battalion. He says it's busy, but so far, so good. And he thinks he'll have more Saturday's free, so that's a plus! His softball team on base, the Pounders, has had a great season and they are playing in the finals tonight...hoping they can bring home the championship! In last nights game, Kyle made the hit that won the game for them and put them in the finals! Woo hoo!

Guess that's about it...The Kilian's arrive next weekend -- anxious to have our visitors begin...hope to see more of you soon!

Miss you all and love you, too!!!

Hey all!!!

Hope everyone is well, we are doing okay here. We had a great 3 day/2 night getaway to Aunt Dit and Uncle Fred's condo in North Myrtle Beach for Memorial Day weekend. It was beautiful weather and we really had such nice time!

Weather here has continued to be hot, humid, and thunderstormy...ick. And Casey has a touch of some kind of stomach bug, so we are battling some diarrhea -- yuck.

My parents and the Reichl's both adopted dogs last weekend from Last Chance Ranch in Quakertown. Their new boys are doing great so far and we can't wait to get home and meet them!

I'm feeling okay...pregnant, but otherwise, pretty well. New haircut it nice and cool for the summer down here!

I don't think there is too much else to write for now...more soon!

Love to you all~~~
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Baby K and Jimmy
