Curb Appeal
As soon as we got here to Micah’s mom’s house, Micah felt the need to clean up the outside of the house, trim the bushes, rake out the leaves, etc. The exact same thing happened last time we were in CA documented here. So Micah and his brother Caleb got right to work. Rachel and the girls and I mostly watched and enjoyed the nice warm weather.

This morning Keira and Laddie were getting very well acquainted.
Birthday time
On thursday the 20th, our baby turned one year old! Keira woke up on her birthday not feeling so well with another cold she had caught a couple days before. Thankfully no parties were planned, just a get together with family for some cake. But after getting dressed the birthday girl started to feel better.

There’s our happy girl

Always wanting to stand

It was turning out to be a nice day outside, so I took the girls outside for some pictures.
No hands touching the pumpkin!
Yay! I’m one today!
On friday the 21st, was my (Katrina) birthday. I turned 28 years old! Where has the time gone? Micah planned some things for the day one of which included us going out to eat. Afterwards we were going to go nearby to see a good friend of mine who we went to the Bible school with and was also in our wedding. Turns out, Micah called Martha and had her and her husband come to the restaurant to meet us. It was a great surprise, and it was so good to catch up and to meet her hubby.

Saturday, we had some cake for both of us birthday girls at my parent’s house. There were way too many candles on my cake though!

Finally…
…the girls are back to normal, almost. Besides them both having a little bit of a runny nose they are their funny happy little selves. Especially Keira. She’s a new baby, just so happy. I’m so thankful to everyone who was thinking of them this past week.
