the month of november just flew past! it was a relatively rough one, but we made it through... on the first weekend of november we went to Lake Charles for a visit with the Mendelson crew... we had a nice time with everyone, but my purse and craig's laptop and other equipment were stolen! Needless to say, it's been difficult to stay caught up with all that needed to be done to remedy our loss. We're getting there though! Since that weekend we've actually been at home, which has been nice. July through October were filled with travelling and weekend events, which are always fun, but we have been enjoying a little more relaxed pace for a change!
Thanksgiving was kind of a drag. the food was great, but kaetlyn had a terrible cold, and Thanksgiving day was the worst day by far. Our original plan included 10 people, but was cut to 5 when the doctor said that kaetlyn was contagious... by the end of the weekend she was feeling much better and it was nice to have the time off work to spend with the family. We did put up Christmas decorations during this time as well!
kaetlyn is becoming quite a little girl... i keep wondering where my baby went... she is just the cutest thing and has the funniest sense of humor and personality! craig and i are enjoying her company very much. most of the time she keeps us smiling.... except for 3-4 am when she decides it's playtime! we're in the process of moving to only 1 nap / day, which will hopefully alleviate her need for early morning playtime.... let's hope so anyway! we've also conquered her serious disdain for shoes - FINALLY! she does just fine now with shoes, and has some cute ones as you will see in the pics below. she is also talking pretty well and is an absolute sweetie. she loves giving hugs and kisses!
well, the month of december is coming quick! we're fortunate to have already finished our christmas shopping. we are planning to spend the holidays with both families, as we have done for the past several years, except our visits are backwards from what they've been in the past... we will go to LC on 12/22 - 12/28 and then to the Perkins from 12/28 - 1/01. We're looking forward to this trip and a well needed break for both Craig and myself. We're also exciting about the new year and all the excitement it holds
i hope you all enjoy the pics... more to come through out this month and next.

She's such a doll! Got your post - let's definitely catch up. I'm going to LC this week. I'll send ya an email with my 411. :) Jen
Now, you probably would not be at all surprised at what we did. Let's see . . . we talked, we shopped, we ate, we toured the River Walk, we watched a girlie movie and we slept. It was GLORIOUS!! Plus, we got to catch up with Heather, which is a HUGE bonus.
