Introducing Kaitlynn Alexander

We are so excited to introduce our newest addition to our family -- Kaitlynn! She arrived July 22nd at 7:38 pm. She weighed 9 lb 3 oz and is 22 inches long!

Here is our first family picture--about an hour after Kaitlynn was born. We are still in the labor and delivery room. :) We will post more pictures soon.

Maternity Photos

I have been avoiding the camera for the last few months. Actually, we just don't take a lot of pictures and when we do, we take pictures of Adysen. A couple of weeks ago I realized that if I wanted any pictures of being pregnant this time around, I better hurry and take them. So, I told Alton that he could be my professional photographer. These were taken just before 37 weeks.

June Overview

Here are just a few pictures of June.

Adysen has discovered that she prefers to drink her milk directly off of her tray. I'm hoping she grows out of it soon!

We bought a new rocker/recliner for the nursery -- YAY! Adysen loves playing with the box! Alton made a window for her and a little back door! She has lots of fun playing with her house box. She likes to peek out the window or door and say "Hi!"

Adysen likes helping us with our wire business. She enjoyed "helping" Alton take pictures of our new products.

Adysen loves shoes!! She is an expert at putting on her own shoes. I think she was even saying "shoes" in this picture. :)

So Sleepy! I realized that I can french braid her hair. It is so cute...but I had a hard time getting a good picture of it.
Adysen and I went to the park with our friends. Adysen especially liked playing in the little house and with the wood chips.

I made homemade freezer jam for the first time by myself. I am beginning to realize how many things I should have learned while I was still living at home. However, the jam turned out great. This is rhubarb raspberry jam. I made a few batches of strawberry. Yummy!
