Peek a Boo

Kate loves to hide and play hide-n-seek. Her favorite part is when we chase her. I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard a child laugh as much as her

Kate 3 Years

Katherine is 3! I can not imagine our family without her and yet the past 3 years have gone by so fast. She is simply amazing! Her compassion and intuition is well beyond her age. She shocks us every day by how smart she is and how much she remembers and how much she understands. You definitely have to watch what you say because she remembers and gets it! She knows her ABCs, counts objects, recognizes her name, knows a lot of letters, knows every shape, sings songs, has an incredible memory and sense of direction, has the reasoning of a much older child, reminds us to pray and to drive with two hands, stops Abby from getting in dangerous situations, very imaginative, is incredibly sweet and willful… :) She is already her own little person!

~Funny story that happened a little while ago:

One evening Jason told Kate when she was older he would take her camping (this was when he was leaving for a boy scout campout). Kate goes “Oh, I get ring, get married, and have babies then go camping.” Because that’s what she understands will happen when she’s “older.” Jas told her he meant more like when she was 4

~When Jason and I go out we tell her we’re going on a date. Lots of times she says she wants to go on date too. So, one Saturday we had a Kate date with Mommy, Daddy, and just Kate. We went to the part then to the movies to see Tangled. She actually watched the entire movie! A couple of the scary scenes she ended up on one of our laps but she really had fun. I can’t wait for our future dates!

Snowed In

Atlanta was literally snowed in last month! We’ve had snow and ice before but I don’t ever remember anything to this extent plus our city doesn’t have many snow plows so you were pretty much stuck at home. The first morning we went out and played with our neighbors.

Brought out the boogie board

While the roads were still ice free we drove to our friends. Not the smartest idea, but luckily we have a good little car that had no problems; unlike the other cars we saw on the side of the roads. The weather quickly turned to ice which meant that we were snowed in. What were we to do? Have a slumber party of course! Our friends so graciously took us in, entertained us, and fed us. Kate and I slept on a bed while Jason slept on a couch in the bedroom and Abby slept in their closet.

Not too bad being stuck at home after all
