Halloween

This year we dressed up as a pirate, a piratess (okay, okay, a wench), & a parrot.

Carving Pumpkins

For an FHE last month  we carved pumpkins with Miriam, Steve & Brennen. Here's how ours turned out:

Pumpkinland

For a date-night in October we went to a small pumpkin patch at the local nursery. It was really fun & we got some cute pictures:

Super Behind

Since I have lots of pictures and things to post, I'm just going to do a few short posts to get caught up.
Sadly, we had to find Charlie a new family as he was getting too protective of Kaelyn and me. We gave him & all his things to his new family for free. We just wanted him to be happy and have a much needed backyard. Matt called about a week later to check on him, he seems to be doing fine. We miss our doggy, but hope he's happy.

On a happier note, Matt took the LSAT and got a 164! (That's good, not quite as high as he was hoping for but nothing to thumb your nose at.)

Coming soon....pumpkinland, pumpkin carving & Halloween costumes!

Loss of Wisdom

Life is busy as always, but right now I'm just takin' it easy. Friday I had 2 wisdom teeth removed (luckily, I only had 2 to begin with). It wasn't as bad I had anticipated & Matt took great care of me & Kaelyn & Charlie too. Matt took the LSAT and we're so happy that's over! We'll get his score probably in about a week and a half. Kaelyn is as cute as ever & seems like she really wants to be mobile, but hasn't quite figured out the crawling thing yet (still several face-plants away from that I suppose).

6 months

Now that Kaelyn is closer to 7 than 6 months I've finished her 6 month scrapbook page. She is such a happy baby :) and we're so happy to have her.
Things are crazy as always but we're all doing well. There's less than a month until the LSAT (hooray!); we've almost finished redecorating the great room (pictures coming soon); and I've got the beginnings of my new website/business up and running!

Oops, I'm not keeping on top of this blogging thing very well....

I really will need to start posting more with all the fun things Kaelyn is doing now! Can't believe she's 6 months old already.

She rolled over completely on her own and infront of more than just Matt while my mom was here a little over a week ago. She rolled from tummy to back; now she rolls both front to back and back to front.

She's really enjoying soild foods now & I've started making baby food and freezing it. She likes: carrots, avocado, bananas, peaches, little tastes of bread and accepts rice cearal but would rather have fruits or veggies. Sadly, this is the end of the era of those nice breast-milk-only-diapers :( Yesterday Matt was changing a diaper and I heard him from the other end of the condo exclaim, "Oh My Gosh!" I went to check on him and the baby to discover everything was just fine, Matt was just in shock at the volume & smell-factor of 6-month-solids-eatting-baby-diapers.

She also enjoys playing with toys, Mommy, Daddy, Charlie and anything else she can get her hands on and preferably into her mouth. She babbles a lot and is currious about everything.

In the midst of all this execitement we are also redecorating trying to get our condo ready to sell next summer (we want it to look as big and nice as possible). We've sold most of our great-room furniature via craigslist and have bought new (or in some cases new to us) funiture, I've sewn drapes and curtains, throw pillows and a TV stand cover (thank you Mommy for helping with Kaelyn so I could do so much).

Well, we'll keep you posted on the amazing things our girl does and the things we're doing too, I'll post photos soon.
