Week 1 - Success!

Week one of working was a success. I didn't even cry. I was happy, Kate was happy, Brett was happy, and my parents were definitely happy taking care of her (except my dad, who had pink eye and couldn't touch her, or really anything :( he was sad. but, they are coming back in two weeks, so he'll be happy then :)

Seriously, it was as good as I could have hoped for. It felt good for all of us. I really appreciated and enjoyed my time with Kate before and after work and over the weekend. I enjoyed my time at work. It was fun learning new things and meeting new people. So far, it feels really good. More to come I'm sure, but it's feeling like a good decision.

Gummy Bear

We've always called Kate "the little bear." My newest nickname, due to her lack of teeth and giant smile, is "Gummy Bear." She's the sweetest Gummy Bear I know!

A good laugh

Kate has a great sense of humor - check this out

Florida

I think these pictures are the cutest :) Kate loved Florida! She loved the pool, she loved the ocean - it was awesome. She was a great traveler. More vacations in Kate's future!

Big Day

Tomorrow's the big day. I start my new job.

I'm excited. I'm nervous. I think it will be good.

If you're looking for something to do, pray that Kate sleeps through the night. We have tried everything we can think of, and half the times she makes it and the other half she doesn't. There's no pattern. We just need God's mercy on this one, I think.
