Family Photos

Earlier this month we went and had our first professional family photos done. This was inspired by my brother and sister-in-law's very effective use of the free portrait and no sitting fees deals that are going on at Sears all the time. I jumped on-line and found a coupon for this photo collage...



Then this picture was so cute I just had to pay the $10 it cost to have it printed for forever. I haven't had a moment of buyer's remorse!



And I have a coupon for a free 10x13 with no sitting fee. I'm thinking that for Kadri's first birthday we may have to do something with that...

Back by popular demand

So, I've had lots of people requesting that I update my blog in the last month or so. I suppose that is a reasonable request, since it has been two months since my last post. Lame? Yes. Even Cat says so apparently. But I'm over it. I have no good excuses for not blogging, particularly now that we are on a TV strike at our house. We were wasting way too much time in front of it. I've just made other projects priorities - like cleaning, learning to play my guitar (again!), pilates, STUDYING the scriptures when I can stay awake, etc. But tonight, I will post. Mostly photos, but I guess that will be okay. I do have the cutest baby in the world!
If any of my readers don't know, Courtney, my youngest sister, came to spend the summer with us and to act as a nanny for Kadri. While Courtney was with us...
We hiked once...
Howie came too!
Kadri LOVED Courtney!
When Grandpa came to take Courtney home...
Grandpa and Kadri snuggled.
Now that Courtney is gone...
Kadri helps Daddy with the dishes...
Kadri's outfits don't always match...
And Kadri has to play with Howie when she wants to have fun!

Also, just to let it be known, Kadri does walk now. I would love to post some video of it. But I can't. Conveniently enough, every single rechargeable battery in our house has stopped recharging. Just in time for Kadri to start taking her first steps... If I didn't have so many projects to work on, maybe I'd make it to the store for more batteries...
