Best winter ever!

I'm from Southern California. So for me, a good winter involves mild temperatures and no snow. That's what we've been getting here in Kentucky. We didn't get any snow in December and we've only had a few really cold days in January with just a light dusting of snow one day. It was 50 degrees and sunny yesterday!

Sassy pants has only had to wear a hat and gloves a handful of times! Whoo hoo.



The baby is due in less than five weeks and I'm slowing down. Katelyn has been very sweet and has just gone with the flow. Thank goodness for her Legos! Michael thought we were funny yesterday because we were both eating 1/2 a peanutbutter sandwich and some yogurt together.






Katelyn has turned into an amazing reader. It's just all come together for her over the past few months and she can pick up a book and read it cover to cover with little help from us. She's even reading us some of her bedtime stories now. So yesterday her High Five magazine came in the mail so she sat right down with me to read. I love it!!



And yet, she still is a BUNDLE of energy. Here's a little monkey jumping on the bed. After church today, we grabbed some lunch and then went to the park so she could play for an hour. It's supposed to be really cold by next weekend so we thought we'd take advantage of a day in the mid-forties to play outside for a while.



And some stories before bed. We tucked her in and the last thing she said was, "Goodnight Baby Aladdin." (That's what she's named her brother.) Hmmm....I don't think that will be the name this kid ends up with. Hope she doesn't mind.

I love all the pictures. Katelyn is getting so big. And you look wonderful for being 8 months pregnant. Keep up the good work! Love you. A.B.

Aladdin....I think that's a very nice name, Melissa. A very nice DIFFERENT name is more what I am trying to say! Hee, hee.... So cute that Katelyn has named her little brother!
