Congratulations Aaron & Brynn!!

Our dear friends, the Wikles, have a new addition to their family....their new baby girl, Samantha Grace!! We are so thrilled for them and so thankful that their prayers (and I'm sure the prayers of many others on their behalf) have been answered! What a blessing children are and I know they are going to be great parents!

Samantha and the new mommy!! (Aaron wasn't home, so no picture of the new daddy, sorry Aaron!)

I was able to attend a baby shower for Samantha today. She received so many fun things...she'll definitely be a very well dressed little girl!! Congrats Aaron and Brynn!!

Friday Night - Family Night!

Friday night is usually Date Night at our house...but we decided to brave the heat and head to the baseball game for a fun-filled family night. Louisville has a minor league team here, The Louisville Bats. Kevin and I have been to a few games since we moved here, but this time we took Alexa. Since her bedtime is 7:00 and that's when the game started, we gave her a late nap (thankfully she cooperated!!) and then headed to the ball park. And she did amazingly well, better than we expected. We had a fun time and Alexa enjoyed cheering the team on!!

Sticker Fun!!

We decided to try something new...playing with stickers. Alexa wasn't so sure about it at first, but then thought having all the stickers on her was pretty fun!

Look at me! Still enthralled with the stickers! Note to self for next time though...if stickers are left on too long, they hurt coming off!!

A little nostalgic...

I can't believe how much my baby girl has grown up this past year!! She's no longer my chunky little baby (weep, weep)!

A Surprise Visit!!

Last night, right around 8:30, someone knocked on our door...and kept knocking for about 30 seconds straight! Kevin and I were sitting on the couch, me in my pj's...so I ran up the stairs while he went to check it out. We weren't expecting anyone! And to my great surprise, it was my fabulous friend, Nancy, from Canada. She was here visiting a couple months ago and so I never expected to see her on my door step again so soon. Calgary is a LOOOOOONG ways from Kentucky!! Well, it turns out she had a wedding to go to in Chicago this weekend and couldn't pass up the opportunity to come by for a quick visit since she was in my "neck of the woods"!!! What fun! So we visited last night and then had a fun morning at the park where we let Alexa play in the water and then had a yummy BBQ. During Alexa's nap, and since Kevin doesn't have school this week, Nance and I were able to go out for some girl time...which of course includes Target!! Sadly though, Nancy is already gone. It was a super fast visit but oh so fun! Thanks Nancy for making the drive to surprise us!
