Watch KK Grow: Time flies....especially 20 years!

The past few weeks have gone by in the blink of an eye...it certainly doesn't seem like 6 weeks since K started preschool again! Maybe because she has missed so much, between going to MN for 10 days in September and then being sick. She is in her 3rd week of on-again-off-again illness. She was tummy sick for two days, then fine for over a week, then tummy sick for two days again, then fine for 4 days, and now she has cold symptoms including a mild fever. I'm a little concerned that she would develop respiratory issues so quickly after having flu-like symptoms so we're watching her like a hawk. She is still in her typical happy mood though, we are grateful for that.

We HAVE had some special and exciting things happen recently, first of which being that we have a new cousin in the family! Baby A arrived on September 1 and he is absolutely beautiful! KK loved holding him and giving him lots of snuggles. Cousin C is a great and very happy big brother, too!

We also spent some time in MN to see family and friends. My to-do list never seems to get fully accomplished when I'm home, but we sure did enjoy this trip! Daddy even made it out for a couple of days; he was there for work, we just got lucky with the dates. He wasn't able to stay for long because he had to leave for Seattle to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday, but we managed to get a nice hike in with Grandma and Grandpa at The Falls.

Another reason we were in MN was for my 20 year high school class reunion (I'm still in denial over that statement). I do have to say that I have some of the best and most amazing friends anyone could hope for! We had a great time, and we won't be waiting another 5 or 10 years to get together again.
