I love my life!  That's all there is to it.  I have a wonderful husband and an adorable, fantastic daughter.  We have been so busy, and we have loved it!  Kate is at such a fun age where she interacts more and really is into what is going on around her.  A few weekends ago, we took Kate to a dog show.  She is not afraid of dogs- no matter how big they are.  She watched events, pet dogs, and even fed one dog to help it get over its fear of little kids.  We had a great time.  (It's made Josh want a dog even more!)

For one of the races we watched, Kate insisted on sitting by herself on the bleacher in front of us.  Dad kept a hand on her, but she did great.  She was amazed at all the dogs.

She's just getting too darn big!

For Halloween, Kate was a bee.  She was a little sick with a cold, but that didn't stop her.  She was so crazy!  She ran from place to place just enjoying her costume and being outside.

Such a happy little girl, even when she's not feeling so great.

Last night, I was trying to get dinner ready, so I decided to let Kate fingerpaint/play with pudding.  At first, she wasn't really sure what to do, but by the end, she was loving it!

By the end, she look liked the bearded lady, but she had so much fun.  

I really am so blessed and am so grateful for my family!
