Easter 2010

Kane loves walking a mile in his Dad's shoes.

Wow, Easter is tiring!

I found one!!!

Kane having fun with his friend Mia in Kansas City-is she not a cutie?! love the hair!

A new post! It only took me...six months...but we've had a busy year: sold our house, moved to a new one in Ballwin, found mold in our leaky basement, removed mold and leak from basement, Bryan took a new job at Enterprise, I finished my Master's Degree in K-12 Administration, we threw a big party for my parent's 40th! anniversary party and now we are getting ready to celebrate Kane's 2nd birthday on Saturday (and this is just to name a few of the big things that have happened in 2010). My how time flies! We definitely haven't taken as many pictures in the past year-we're too busy chasing Kane around. At least here are a few to share.

Christmas 2009

We had a fun Christmas Break this year. Here are a few photos of Christmas and our trip to Chicago!

Dr. Lily listening to Kane's heart-she even lifted his shirt to get a good listen. What a riot!

Kane playing teacher-a noble profession!

Kane and Maddie at Family Grounds-an awesome coffee shop/play place!

Happy Halloween!!!

A Star Wars Halloween

We had a fun time at Aunt MJ and Uncle Paul's house on Friday night and at Michael and Amanda's house on Saturday. We didn't trick-or-treat this year-but Kane had fun greeting kids at the door and watching Aunt Amanda hand out candy!

We're baaaack!

School has started, and my free time is no more. Here are some fun pics from the end of the summer, including our vacation in Destin.

All I can say is that I predict large dental bills-he just won't take that thumb out of his mouth!

Kane's Baptism

With Mom and Dad in the lobby

Aunt, Uncle, and God Parents

The Pastor, Stephanie, was great with Kane and delivered a compelling sermon about relationships and expectations

Standing for the baptism

Sleeping Angel

Last night Kane was baptized at Manchester United Methodist Church. Uncle Michael and Aunt Amanda stood with us as his God Parents. Our little Angel slept through the service until it was time for the "show." He wore a darling, white jumper and made sure to pass a lot of really smelly gas while Michael held him in the pew. Yep, you read that right-passing gas in the house of the lord.

We lucked out when we found that Saturday night is ice cream social night at the church so we all enjoyed some Ted Drewes after the service, including Kane-he threw a fit when it was gone. Yesterday was a great day and a beautiful evening-good job Dad with organizing Kane's Baptism! Thanks to all our family for attending!
