1 month pictures

We had these pictures of Kate taken a week ago. She did pretty well. I was hoping to get some on her tummy with fairy wings, but she wasn't having it at all. I was laughing the whole time. It doesn't matter, we got some good ones anyway. I went back to work yesterday, so Kate went to daycare with Lane. Lane was so cute, he was glued to her the whole time. He is not that attentive at home. When Claire was feeding her, I guess Lane was a little confused because I nurse at home so Claire had to reassure him that Mom said it was okay for her to do it.

More Pictures

Here are some of the latest pictures of Kate. She is a couple weeks old and is up to almost 8lbs again. She is a great eater and sleeper(knock on wood!!).
Last Tuesday, at amazing newborns, we took some pictures with Brennan and James. James is my friend, Bobbi Kenow's, son. He was born the same day as Kate, he outweighed her by 2lbs, 6oz! Kate and James

Kate, James, and Brennan

On Sunday, Lane and I made cookies. This was the best part for Lane:

It is hard to tell in the picture, but lane had cookie dough all over his entire face and shirt. The paddle was almost completely clean when he was done. I think he had his fill, he has only ate half of a cookie since we baked them!

We spent New Year's Eve at Kory and Melissa's house. My parents were there and we were all very casual. The kids spent the evening in their pjs and I wished I had worn mine! Kory and Melissa made homemade pizza, which was excellent. The kids played and played and played! Here are a couple of pictures of Lane with Nora's dress up shoes on , playing with a doll, and talking on the phone. All pictures to torture him with later in life!

Kate Ann

Last Monday, we welcomed Kate Ann to the world! I was scheduled for a c-section at 12:30 but she wanted out sooner. I went into labor around 1:30 am and headed into the hospital a couple of hours later and she was born at 5:23 am. Jason was a little surprised to hear,"It's a girl" but he was very excited to have a little girl. Lane is very excited to have a baby in the house, he is having fun showing Kate all of his favorite toys, that might change once she wants to touch or play with them.

The kids gave Jason a fishing game for the Wii for Christmas and it has been fun for him and Lane. Whenever Jason catches a fish, Lane also "catches" one with his toy fishing pole. It is hilarious to watch!

Lane is becoming more independent these days. He is playing by himself in his room alot and will come out with a silly hat on or riding his horse and cracks us up. He makes me laugh everyday!!

I'm an Aunt, again!!

It's a BOY!!! Brennan Keller Kath was born this morning to proud parents Melissa and Kory and super excited big sis, Norah!

He weighs 6lbs, 15 oz and is 19 inches long. A peanut! I will post a picture soon!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! Lane wore his dragon costume to daycare today, he ran there 'roaring' the whole way!

This is Lane with Claire, his daycare mom. We love her!

Leaf Jump

On saturday, Melissa and I took Norah and Lane to Oak View Nursery. It was a great fall day, just a little windy out there. The most favorite thing to do was the leaf jump. Both Lane and Norah loved it!!

Lane recovered very quickly from the ear tube surgery. He cried for about 5 mins after the nurses brought him back to us, then was fine. He drank some juice and ate cheerios and was ready to play. He was spoiled by his grandparents and greatgrandma with toys, treats, and a balloon, By late morning, he was back to normal, running around crazy.

Jason is super busy at work and is now in the field working for a few farmers. Everything is going good for me and the pregnancy. Only about 9weeks until the baby is here. We still haven't decided on names yet, but we still have time.

It's been a long time!

Alot has happened since I last posted. First, my computer got alot of viruses and was in the shop for 2 1/2 weeks. Lane celebrated his 2nd birthday and we had a family party. Then he got yet another ear infection that lasted almost 4 weeks and took 3 different antibiotics. He hated taking all that medicine and it was no fun having to give it to him. He is getting tubes in his ears tomorrow. I am very nervous but keep telling myself that it is a simple procedure that thousands of kids get every year.

Jason's softball season is finally finished! It felt extra long this year. His team did well and had a really fun time playing together and thier spouses are fun also.

Lane has been sleeping in his 'big boy' bed for a while now. First, he slept on the mattress on the floor so when his bed came he was ready. He loves it!! We are so lucky, he transitioned from his crib to the bed very easily. At first when he woke up he would knock on his door for us to come and let him out, but know he can get his door open and most of the time he opens his door and waits for us to come and get him.

Lane had a great 2nd birthday! We had our family over for pizza and ice cream cake. He was so excited to open his presents and he got some really great ones!! A few of his favorites are a train set, a baseball glove, and an aquadoodle mat.

We've gone to a couple of the Owatonna High School football games and have a good time. Lane loves to watch the game, the cheerleaders and the band. Of course the treats at the game are pretty good too!

Here are some pictures from the last month or so:
