Update for Sunday, November 26 (Part 2 of 2)

This is a very special post for Katie's Grandma Carol, her Auntie Tara and Uncle Bryan in St. Louis, Missouri. I just learned how to post videos here, and since I never before had a way to share videos from my camera, I don't have any old videos to post. These are the first two videos (of many more to come) of Katie. Note: there is no sound on these, only video.

So without further comment, here is our girl from about two weeks ago:

Bigfoot Katie: Little Sasquatch from the Pacific Northwest



Katie Spinning: One of Katie's favorite activities (notice at the end when she picks up a piece of trash from the floor and shows it to me and says "oohhh!!!")



We hope you all enjoy seeing Katie Grace in motion!

Update for Sunday, November 26 (Part 1 of 2)

Your patience will again be rewarded... today we're sending out not one, but TWO posts! To begin, let me share with you a terrifying discovery we made at the last full moon:



Miss Katie turned into a vampire! I guess that's what happens when you hang out too much with Auntie Liz!

On a more traditional note, our girl was a chicken for halloween this year. She did a great, and authentic, chicken bok-bok-bagok! sound to go with her great costume. Here she is with the cutest little witch in the world - her cousin Morgan!


Katie also went trick-or-treating for the first time this year. Katie and her Grandma, went to an area of boutique shops with her cousins Cole and Aiden and their Grandma to gather their candy treasures. Here are a few photos:



Katie had a great time that day, she was especially proud to carry her own basket and did really well walking all over the place without getting tired. We also leared a good parenting benefit of this holiday; until your kids realize what they're getting, the parents get to eat all the candy!

Cross your fingers that Part 2 of today's post works properly!
