Social Butter-Bug

Bug has been socializing with all kinds of groups lately.  She's just a little social butter-Bug!  Last week, Aunt DeeDee was in the area and finally got to meet Bug for the very first time.  (Good timing, Aunt DeeDee.  You caught her in the A.M...otherwise known as her most awesome time of day!)  

 


*Bonus Videos:

Last Friday night, Grandma took care of Bug in the evening so that Wyatt and I could have a late anniversary dinner.  Can I just tell you how good it feels to put on a dress, some make-up, and have a glass of wine (or two)?  


Grandma's been A LOT of help the last couple of weeks and we're SO THANKFUL.  (Sorry for all the crying, Grandma!  You're a trooper!)

Grandma bought Bug a Baby Einstein book that Bug now LOVES.  So on Veteran's Day, Grandma and I were on a mission to find another book from the Baby Einstein collection just like it.  Sad times, Barnes and Nobles did not carry the books we were searching for.  We did find other books and some rattles you place on her wrists and feet.  You tell me...is there such a thing as over stimulation?   


This weekend, Bug also had her very first play date with two amazing little ones, Nathan and Zoe.  Nathan and Zoe's parents are a part of our married couples group at the Cathedral.  It's such a blessing to have gotten to know these couples.  I'm so excited to watch these kids grow in faith together.  Their parents have been such a blessing and motivation for Wyatt and myself and have helped strengthen our own faith.  I can only imagine what amazing adults their children will become.

Dads like these only come around once in a lifetime.  We're lucky mommies!

On Sunday we got to spend some quality time with Uncle Scott too!
 


 

Look at those little feet waiting for a table at Cheesecake Factory!
 This is Grandma's last week with us and we're getting sad.  :*(  Next week, Dad will be going head to head with Bug on his paternity leave.  Make sure to stay tuned for those updates!  At Bug's play date the other day, I told the moms that Wyatt was taking leave.  In awe (or shock), they responded with, "He is!??!"  I asked, "Why, is there a problem?"  From what I gather, most men do not take paternity leave.  So now I'm nervous for Wyatt and Bug.  Together, I'm sure they'll face (and overcome) some challenges.  Hey, they've got six weeks with each other.  They have no choice, but to get used to each other.  :P

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
