Lila is a happy girl on Valentines Day!

Life update:

Drew- He is very happy working at the Children's Museum. They are so good to him and he loves the people he works with. 

Katelin- I am enjoying being in the YW presidency in my ward as the YW Secretary. I have become really good friends with the ladies I work with. Lila and I have actually started walking with the president (Megan) and her son Winston at the church a couple times a week. It's a lot of fun! We take our strollers and try to walk around the gym a couple times but the kids have short attention spans and want to get out and play. So we typically park the strollers in the middle of the gym and set out snacks, drinks, and lots of toys and watch them play as we continue to walk around the gym. I love it!

I also opened up my etsy shop this month. YAY! I keep busy doing lots of projects for people, but it makes me happy and I love doing it. I've also started tending Winston a couple times a week too! It works out great because he and Lila play so well together. Megan brought over his pack'n'play so it is set up in the extra bedroom upstairs for him to nap in. We have dance parties, play with all the toys, read books, color, watch movies, have naps, eat snacks, and have so much fun! I love it!

Lila- She is so close to walking on her own! She'll walk along any type of furniture and with any helping hand, but not quite by her self yet. She continues to practice standing up on her own and she is so proud of herself! So are we! It's awesome. She's the cutest thing ever. She is a master at asking for "more" in sign language, as well as telling us she is "all done." She has switched over to whole milk now and takes it like a champ! She is on a huge popcorn kick and eats it like her dad does-- handfuls at a time! It's hilarious! She's smart and happy and perfect. She is seriously a dream!

It's been an awesome year already marking off new years resolutions (opening up my etsy shop), and doing a spontaneous Disneyland trip! Plus throwing Lila's big birthday party and the awesome cabin trip too. What a life we live!! We are so blessed!

Love,

Kate
