KK's still growing!

The past couple of weeks have been busy, exciting, fun, and a little challenging. Grandma and Grandpa K were here to visit, along with some special family friends - Kay and Ken. They were here for a week and we did lots of exploring and visiting. KK got spoiled silly with gifts and attention. Unfortunately, on the first day they were here, Daddy played in his first soccer game in over 13 years and was reminded that he is not 21 anymore by rupturing his achilles tend0n. Poor Daddy! He had surgery and is going through a painful recovery that is expected to last up to a year. He has a little cart to ride around on, but it also has dangers as he's learned the hard way (to salvage a little of his pride, I won't get into details of the cart mishap...and if you talk to him, you may not want to mention it.) : )

KK is cuter than ever. At the park a couple of days ago she met a new friend named Chris. When we were leaving, Chris said "Nice to meet you, KK!" She walked over to him, grabbed his right hand with hers and shook it and said "Nice to meet you!" It was so cute - and a reminder that she watches EVERYTHING we do and is a total sponge.

She continues to be a reader, sitting happily by herself paging through books and babbling as she goes. She still loves wearing 'hats' of any shape or size.
Auntie Sunshine sent a box of MN State Fair goodies - this is where the pickle 'hat' came from. This very special delivery included mini-donuts and saltwater taffy, but they didn't last long enough to get photgraphed. Thank you Auntie Sunshine - the box made my year! : )

KK's love for Mickey M0use lives on, but she has severed all ties with the W1ggles. They have been replaced by an occasional date with Thomas and Friends. She also saw a preview of some penguin show with a silly little character with a flatulence issue. Now she makes fart noises with her mouth and then laughs hysterically. She is so silly, I love it!

And FINALLY, KK gained some weight!! She was steady at 25 pounds for a couple of months - now she's 26.3! And her hair grew, too, just a little!

The computer is still not put together - the replacement keyboard arrived broken so we have to wait for yet another...

Life is good, and we hope you are doing great too!
