HI all~

Just a quick update. All is well here. We just got back from what was probably our last visit to PA until the holidays. It was a nice trip, went too quickly! We had pictures of the three Getz grandchildren together which was really fun, we went to my friend from high school (Natasha Heard's) wedding, and we were home to celebrate Payton's first birthday with her.

Now we are back to the day to day down here. I had a dr. appt for baby K today that went well. Heartbeat sounded great and all else was well. Jimmy has kennel cough from his trip to the kennel. We were at the vet for him after my appt and he is on cough medicince and antibiotics. Poor boy. Casey was back to swim class last night and she loves swimming more than ever. She really does well. Hoping Kyle will get to come with us next Thursday and take some pictures!

OK...well hope you enjoy the pictures and talk soon~

Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Baby K, and Jim

Here SHE is...in my favorite picture of the day! Her perfect profile, little hand above her head, and in the far left of the picture is her knee--she was all tucked up!
Top picture in this group is of her profile...and bottom is also her profile, with her mouth open wide and her little hands flapping around!

Top picture in this group is her big foot (3.2 cm long!!) and bottom shot...well, that's what told us she was, in fact, a she. Those 3 lines tell it all!

Mother's Day outing to Old Sheldon Church ruins...Casey and Kyle pump some water!

Casey...not too excited to get her picture taken!

"Inside" of the church

Approaching the church...so pretty.

Closer view of the whole church

Casey...she later told us this was a castle...We then talked about weddings being held there, etc. We asked her who she's marrying...her answer, "Prince Charming".

Mean girl. ha ha!

Hope everyone is well!
Found out today that baby sister is really baby sister! So excited! Baby looked great. She weighed 13 oz. and had a heartbeat of 143...

I had a great Mother's Day yesterday. Kyle and Casey took me to breakfast, then to the Old Sheldon Church Ruins (about 20 minutes from here). It was breezy and beautiful...a perfect day for pictures and exploring. Then we got home and I went the pool for awhile (ALONE!!!!) Kyle made a delicious steak dinner and it was a very relaxing day. Now -- to pack and get ready for our trip up to PA tomorrow!

Hope to see some of you soon~~
Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Baby Sister, and Jimmy

5 months pregnant!
Digging in the new sandbox!

Happy to have sand in my backyard!

Buckets and buckets of water!

More buckets of water!

Trying not to spill!

Walking w/my daddy!

In the strawberry field!

Ready to pick--she actually did a GREAT job!

She always wants to play her "game" -- Memory, but the cards end up scattered around the room...I guess she thought reading over the directions might help her understand the game and its' rules a little better. Ha ha ha!

Hi all,

Just a quick post. Here are a few pictures from this past weekend (Friday-Sunday). We went strawberry picking on Friday. No pictures from Saturday...Casey and I went shopping down at the outlets in Bluffton and Kyle went out fishing with his first mate, Jimmy. Casey and I were more successful in our trip. We actually brought things home from our trip. Kyle and Jimmy did not -- but they had a good day, too!

Today we went to Hunting Island for the day. It was WONDERFUL. The weather was perfect, warm and breezy. The water was cool, but not too cold. And Casey did great at the beach. She knows her limits way better than last summer so Kyle and I could sit by the waters edge and watch her run through the surf and come right back with buckets of water. It was sooo nice...she had a blast. Then we came home and finally got her new sandbox from Grandma and Pappy Kilian up and running. She was thrilled to have more sand to play in!

Right now, we are sitting in front of the TV watching the first Phillies game of the season that has been broadcast down here! Woo hoo...don't think we'll make the end of it, but still fun to watch. We were just drooling over pictures of Philly Cheesesteaks. (leave it to the pregnant lady to get hungry over cheesesteaks at 9pm). Speaking of pregnant, the first official picture we've taken of me and new baby K is posted. I showered after we came home today--but didn't do much else w/myself, so ignore my lack of makeup and messy hair. Was just trying to get the belly shot!

Take care all~~
Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Baby K, and Jim

Casey got a butterfly net and bug condo from Aunt Heather. Here she is in my parents backyard trying to find butterflies and bugs to catch!

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing great. Casey, Jimmy, and I had a nice trip up to PA again. Our ride both up and back went smoothly. Newly potty trained Casey did not have one accident the whole ride!

We had two birthday parties for Casey when we were home...one at the Getz's and one the Kilian's. She had a great time at both and probably is wondering why all the commotion surrounding her birthday is over now! ha ha!

I was able to be home for the wedding of one of my college roommates, too. It was a beautiful wedding and fabulous reception. It was so good to see everyone...I had a great time, but sort of fizzled toward the end of the night. This pregnant lady doesn't see 1030pm too often these days and I didn't get home until after midnight!

We also got to attend our niece, Dyllan's dedication to her church. It was a nice service (what I was there for...as Casey had a bit of a meltdown during the sermon)...Dyllan was well behaved and didn't seemed phased by all the attention.

We missed our Kyle while we were gone, but he was busy at work. He had a bunch of dinners the end of the first week we were gone and then had an group of educators down here the first part of the second week we were gone that he got to show around Parris Island. He was BUSY!

Casey had her 2 year check up last week and all went well. She was 33.5 inches and 26.5 lbs (which are both right around the 50th percentile). She got only one shot and barely whimpered. She told the nurse, "I brave". She also asked why she had to go the doctor that day and I told her so that the doctor could make sure she was growing into a big girl...and her response, "So I can drive, mommy?" -- She's always asking if she can drive the car and I tell her when she's a big girl. Well, she now knows she has to be 16! Ha ha ha!

Otherwise, we are all doing well. I'm getting a bigger belly by the day...haven't gained too much weight yet, which I am thrilled about. We have another ultrasound on 5/10 and then we fly to PA again for a little under a week! We'll be around from 5/11-17th. We have a wedding the night of the 14th and Payton's first b'day on the 16th. This will be our last trip to PA until after new baby...probably won't see you all until the Holidays! So come visit us!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay...rambled enough. Hope to see you soon!!!

Love,
Katie, Kyle, Casey, New baby, and Jimmy

Hi All:
