Lots o' Pics

I haven't updated in a while, so there are a few pictures. :) We are all doing well. Jeff is super busy at work, but hopefully that will slow down a bit by next week. Kaitlyn, Austen, and I have been staying busy on weekdays going to play dates, shopping :-), going to the park, etc. We are excited for the weather to get better!! Mama gets a bit exhausted from outings/socializing with two kiddos, so we try to stay in by ourselves one day a week and just relax. :) However, I'd go crazy if we didn't get out and do things (and so would Kaitlyn, which adds to my craziness:-)), and I want Kaitlyn to continue to be around other kids/people.
There isn't too much news to report. We had a nice Father's Day at our house with our families. Kaitlyn is as busy as ever. She is now saying "please" (peeeeease) and "thank you" (tay-too) on her own quite a bit, but I would too if I knew it was going to get me something. ;-) It's pretty cute. She also says "bless you" when you sneeze. However, no matter who sneezes, it's usually "bless you, Autee (Austen)." She continues to be our climber. If there is something to get on top of or into, she's there.
Austen started to laugh a couple of weeks ago. :-) Not consistent yet, but we've definitely heard it and love it! I can't believe she will already be three months old tomorrow. Before we know it, she'll be climbing with her big sister. :-)
Enjoy the pictures!

Playing in the sprinkler today for the first time:
Austen lounging in her papasan while big sissy plays in the water:

Annnndddd...she's in.

If she's not smiling, she's scowling or looking concerned. :-)

Watching sissy:

Grandma Bonnie got the girls a water table a little bit ago. Kaitlyn LOVES it:

She's not crying here, she's laughing :-)

We are now hanging out with Michaela every Monday during the summer. For those who don't know, I met her when I worked at a day care when she was 4 months old. I have babysat/nannied her off and on ever since. She is now almost 10! She and Kaitlyn have a great time together. :-)

Father's Day with Great Grandpa Allan:

Oops! There are a few duplicates. I can't delete them!

Austen has found her hands in the past week or so, and likes to suck on them. She's sound asleep :-)

Yep.

Ready to go out. I left the room for 30 seconds and came back to this:

This pictures cracks me up...

Watching Dada mow the lawn. Again, left for 30 seconds...

It's not quite as fun if you aren't IN it.

We went over to Meagan's a couple of weekends ago. They have a garden, and Kaitlyn LOVED picking strawberries and eating them. She also got to help water. Meagan and Kerry (Megs' sister) helped. :-)
