Kohler-Andrae State Park

Lots of kids updates!  Kayla has been sleeping in our bed for quite a long time now and we keep going back and forth when we should put our foot down and make her sleep in her own room.  Well Kayla of course is starting to do it all on her own.  She now starts off in her own bed and will try to sleep through the night downstairs, but will occasionally hop into bed with us in the night.  Some nights I don't even know when she comes up, I just wake up to a Kayla Bug snuggling up next to me.

Kayla's been having a rough few weeks getting dropped off in the morning at preschool, particularly with Jordan.  When I finally asked her about it, she said crying gets her energy up...  Smart words from a smart little girl.  Most days are getting better, but we're still working on it.

As Jordan was leaving for work one day, Kayla called out, "Make sure you don't get any poison ivy daddy!"    It had been awhile since he's had poison ivy, so it's cute that she remembers it.

We were driving a few weeks ago and went through a construction zone where they were putting down asphalt.  Kayla says, "What is that beautiful smell?!"

Colin is starting to get out of his clingy stage.  He is now Mr. Smiles and will make sure to get you smiling too with whatever it is he's doing.  He can now say more, kitty, baby, do do (thank you-he says this when he hands you things).  He is still a chow hound and will eat anything that gets put in front of him.  He loves to chase Kayla to give her hugs.  Kisses are next.  His favorite toy is a good old ball, picking it up, throwing it, then doing it all over again.  Or he'll switch it up a bit and kick the ball all over the house.

Here are photos from the past weekend's trip to the beach!  Let's go, let's go!  Kayla's hair is quite long in this pic.

BEACH!!

Colin insisted on carrying his goldfish crackers which quickly turned into sand goldfish.  Either way, he liked them just as well.

Our best attempt at getting a super cute picture.
