Later that evening we went to see my friend Maggie in the hospital because she just had a baby girl. Megan is still so little in my mind, but she looked much bigger sitting next to a one day old baby. Bad me though, I did not take a picture!
Sunday we had Connor's birthday party. Hard to believe our oldest nephew is 8 years old! It was a Vikings/Twins party. Again, I did not take a picture. However, the girls did wear Vikings gear for Connor, so I know my sis-in-law got some pictures of them in purple ;)
The week was filled with dance class (which Kelsey did great at again), school work, football practice, and just the daily hub-bub which keeps it all interesting. Friday night rolled around in a flash and we attended the Huskies home opener. The weather was not the greatest and we had to bundle up to stay warm. Megan had on tights, socks, a short sleeve onesie, a long sleeve turtleneck onesie, a sweatshirt, a jacket, her hat and mittens, and had a blanket around her. She fell asleep early in the game so I was able to keep her blocked from the wind and she was one toasty camper. Kelsey was also bundled, although she was not a big fan of her mittens. The Huskies won again 34-6. Matt's brother Nate is helping out with the team this year too, so I got a picture of the brothers as well.
Yesterday we took the girls to a nearby park and attempted our own 6 month and 3 year photo shoot. I really wanted a fall themed picture this year since Kelsey's yearly pics are usually taken in the summer. Megan is not quite strong enough to sit up on her own yet, so the types of poses are pretty limited. Therefore, we thought we would try it ourselves and see what happened. I am very happy with the results. The pics turned out well and will be great until we get a professional one done in the spring when Megan is 1 and Kelsey is 3 1/2. Here is a sneak peek until I can get the others edited. I have to say, after trying this ourselves, it makes me have the itch to get a nicer camera.
Today is Sunday again and that means football in this house. We went to church and breakfast and now are home cheering on our respective teams. The girls are napping which means blog time :)
A few random new things with the girls:
*Kelsey says that she wants to marry Matt. I told her that I am married to Daddy though. She still is convinced she will marry Matt, but has also said that she would marry Uncle Matt instead.
*I laid Megan on our bed as I was putting away laundry and she got a little fussy. Kelsey comes in and says, "It's ok Megan. Princess Kelsey is here to save the day." Then she proceeded to "read" her a book. It was so sweet. Good thing I had my camera nearby to capture the moment.
*Megan has found her voice! She likes to scream and make a lot of noise at times. Today in church she was a little chatter box.
*Kelsey can recite the pledge of allegiance--yes, the entire thing. Mary said they have been working on it during preschool time. I asked her about it and she rambled the whole thing out.
*Megan has now tried sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, and peas. Her least favorite it peas. The others she seems to like just fine.
*Megan must have some movement of teeth in her mouth because she is constantly wanting to gnaw on something. However, no sign of anything yet. Just my motherly thought.
*When we were in the car last weekend we drove by a farm and Kelsey shouted out, "Oh my gosh, what stinks?!" Matt told her it was Mommy and she thought that was funny.
*Kelsey has learned a lot in her preschool program with Mary and comes home daily with something to show or talk about. We love it! We can also tell that she is getting daily exposure to tuning her fine motor skills because her coloring, cutting, and writing are improving tremendously. She is working so hard to stay in the lines and make her pictures neater. She also tries to write her name. She does ok with s and l, but the others are a little too tough on her own.
*Kelsey is wanting to learn how to tell time. She has a watch that she calls her "video watch" because it has digital numbers on it. Usually she tells us it is 5:30.
Have a great week everyone!
