October... whirlwind!

So funny!! I just found this today (July 3, 2009) and saw that I had never posted it! Fun to look back a few months, seems like much longer. ENJOY! Katherine has moved way beyond crawling. She's is now pulling herself up to anything and everyone. Unfortunately she found the garbage can in the process so it had to be relocated. You can see how much she loves showing off her new skills!

Brigham is getting so big! His speech is adorable, and you can almost always understand him. He really enjoys going to the park on Fridays with all the little ones from church.

August happenings

What a cutie! This was obviously during her one month phase when she decided that she would actually drink from a bottle. A fleeting moment.

WE took the kids out to dinner at a place called The Elephant Bar. They were quite fascinated with the masks. We fit in well there, with all of the wild animal prints and figurines!

Brigham is really full of it lately. See that little sparkle in his eye? He's probably imagining what he should do next; dump out the shampoo, sit on top of "sissie", bite "bubbas"? So much to do, so little time!

This was our last family beach trip before the kids went back to school. Katherine was almost crawling and loved eating the sand off the mat.

Roark wouldn't let us walk him into his classroom, cause he's so cool! He is loving school like always. He is really into reading this year.

Cameron started school this month too. A big Kindergartner! He thought it was a really long day the first few weeks, but now he is enjoying it. He has a male teacher that was new last year, so he has lots of great ideas and energy for these kids.

Katherine began crawling in August. She's trying so hard to keep up with her brothers!

Katherine - growing

Katherine June is growing every day! I love having another girl in the house, I don't feel quite so out numbered anymore. She weighs in at about 15 pounds in these picturesthey are about 2 months old. Now she is weighing 16lbs 7oz. She's starting to get used to the new house and sleeping better. She had a cold for a while that was keeping her awake, but we've finally gotten through that thank goodness. "Kat" is our little princess!

Sanibel Island

One of the first family activities after moving to the Cape was going to Sanibel Island. It is a bout a 40min drive, not bad at all, and it si gorgeous! We arrived around 7pm and just planned to let the kids explore a little. We saw sea stars, fish and Roark is holding a sea urchin. The kids were all very excited to play in the warm water and collect loads of beautiful shells! We look forward to many more beach excursions to come.

Kaylee and the Piacente's

Cameron, Kaylee Ann, Katherine and Brigham!
No, we didn't have another one! In March our family had the opportunity to begin babysitting Rick's newest great neice! Kaylee is a sweet little thing and we have really enjoyed adding her to our family, for at least a few hours a week. She is about a month younger than miss "Kat". The boys are overjoyed to have another "sister" as they call her.

One Week Old

Katherine is such a joy! She is already awake more, and we are looking forward to seeing her personality come out. She's a great fit in our family!

Here she is! Katherine June was born January 18, 2008 @1:57pm. She weighed in at 6lbs 11 1/2 oz. and 21 1/2 in. long. She has light brown hair and deep blue eyes.












The boys are happy to have their sister finally home, Heaven help her!!
