It's been really fun to see Connor get so excited about moving into our new home. Byron brought a tape measure and Connor asked if he could measure his room. He and Byron "measured" the floor and Connor said, "Yep, i think it'll be big enough." :)

getting closer...

we drove out to Mebane to see the progress of our home...we're pretty much pumped out of our minds. :)
here's the view from our family room looking at the window,
our fireplace,

our dining area,
our kitchen,
stairs leading up,
yep, that's ours!
Connor's room will be above the garage.

when the framing's all done, we'll meet with the builder and he'll give us our closing date at that time. we've been told sometime in mid-May, so we're hoping!

15 Months

our little Kylene is so full of happiness and spunk!
at 15 mths she continues to be a petite little thing and weighs 19.73 lbs but is also pretty long at 30.5 inches. people always stop and watch her walk by and are amazed that such a little thing can be walking around so regally. :)
we discovered about 2 mths ago that Kylene loves double cheeseburgers from McDonald's. we order her one of her own now and she stands up in a chair at the table, and holds the burger herself and little by little, puts that hamburger down. we think she might follow in her Aunt Codi's footsteps and be a lover of red meat. :)
Kylene now claps her little hands together and starts "talking" whenever we say it's time for prayer. it's just about the cutest thing the 3 of us have ever seen.
she LOVES to play and be around other children and belly laughs at all the things Connor does to entertain her.
sometime she wakes up at 10 pm and we can't help but bring her out and snuggle with her on the couch while we watch TV. she gets so excited when we do this and likes to snuggle right in next to Byron and I and suck on her blankie.
Kylene has a few "words". she says "Daaa" for "Dad" "Dooo" is "Dog" "Baaa" is balloon, " Mama" is "Mommy" and "Ya" is "Yes". She's also started shaking her head emphatically back and forth to indicate "NO". :)
she loves to twirl and has started showing an opinion in what she wants to wear at times and seems to really enjoy wearing dresses.
we love our Kylenie Beanie.

let's catch up

so i've been MIA for about a month. what have i been doing? making owls, lots and lots of owls.

so can we still be friends? here are a few pics of Connor and Kylene lately.

Connor brought a book to Kylene and said, "Do you want to read this Kylene?" She followed him into her room and turned around and sat herself down in his lap. He "read" to her and Byron and I tried to watch without breaking the spell.

Connor is so so so sweet with Kylene and he gets the biggest THRILL from making her laugh.

I think Connor must be a lot like my Dad, his Grandpa. Both seem to crack up the women in their lives. :)
