Mr. Mom

During Meg's last week in Austin, Katelin got to spend the week with "Daddy!!!" Meghan came down for the weekend to drop Katelin off. She had not been home since before Christmas. Thankfully I had gotten the Christmas decorations down by then (yes, albeit the night before Meg came home, but at least it was before February!!)

Here is Meg and Katelin (with her favorite "gasses") getting ready to go to the park by our house.

Katelin recently learned how to make the bed. She helps throw the pillows on the bed (she says "baBOOM" when they crash.) Then she likes to jump into the pillows.

Cuddly time with daddy before work and "school."

There is no way Katelin will miss her breakfast. When I take her to daycare, I don't get up early enough to get her there by 8, when they feed her...so we ejoy a nice morning making Cream-of-Wheat and cinamon toast. She is so cute. She will take a towel and set it in front of the TV and say "uh oh" (meaning I need to turn the TV on to "Emo" aka Elmo). This is the only time she will sit patiently enough...when there is breakfast in front of her and Elmo is on. Otherwise, she could care less if the TV is on. As you can tell by the pic, she can shovel it in. I think she ate more than me!!

Yes, Katlin loves glasses. She did this all on her own. She thought it was sooo funny. Poor Mr. Potato-Head. His parts will never be in the right spot.
It was a great week, but man...I don't know how single mother's do it. I am definitely more appreciative of Meg now. I don't think I made it to work before 9:30 all week. I don't know how Meg get's Katelin to daycare by 7:30!!

I like the new feature on the side.
Yes, you may now have the name Chase. I am not sure BB Flemmons would appreciate being named after a puppy we bought and then returned a couple weeks later. That may cause long term issues.

Parenting, definitely a full time job. But well worth it!

Katelyn is too, cute. Glad your family is back together again. Things run so much better with two! Chad and Katherine look so great and happy and Maddox is adorable!

Welcome to our new blog! We thought this would be a fun way to share our pictures and lives with family and friends. Thanks for visiting. Enjoy!
Katelin celebrated her first birthday at her grandparents' house in Round Rock. We grilled hamburgers and had cake and homemade ice cream.

We went to the Grand Canyon for our vacation this year. We stayed in Sedona, Arizona. The mule ride was great fun! We suggest everyone seeing the Grand Canyon at least once in a lifetime.

Summer is definitely here! Katelin loves the pool.
