The Digital Age

As teachers, Jeff and I often discuss how technology has completely changed kids and the way we go about teaching them. In some ways it seems to make the job harder and other ways it makes the job easier. Kate is already enamored wih the computer. Anytime our laptops are out she wants to type and stare at the screen. It's the best way to get her to play on her tummy! I just have to be careful that my email is not up. I can't imagine what technology will be like when she's a teenager. I hope Jeff and I can keep up. An update on daycare-Kate is doing great! She loves her teachers and is ready to play as soon as we get there. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged us with sweet notes and calls and have prayed for an easy transition. God has given our family a lot of peace.

First Day of School (Sort of)

Kate had her first day at day care on Friday. Here she is getting ready for the big day. She handled it much better than her mom and dad. Of course, everyone loved her. We only worked half the day, so we picked Kate up and went out to lunch to celebrate. Hopefully next week will go just as well.

Wyche Boys

After we left Topsail we headed south to visit friends of ours and their three boys. We had a great time visiting with this special family. It was the first time Kate met our godson and his brothers. Here is our godson with his aunt.

Beach Baby in Action

Kate was so brave. She had a great time playing with Mom and Dad in the water. The weather was wonderful all week.

Bikini Baby

Here is Kate showing off her bikini!
Kate enjoyed spending time with her cousin, she smiled and laughed and cooed every time she saw Scarlett. Isn't Scarlett cute!
Kate has her Hawaiian dress on-it is really from Hawaii-hopefully we'll take her there one day.

Kate is 6 Months Old

We're back from our two week vacation to New York, Topsail Island, and Ocean Isle. We had a wonderful time visiting with famiy and friends. We are blessed to have so many people to love and to love us. Kate was the best traveler! We celebrated Jeff's 30th birthday during our trip and Kate managed to stick her hand in both of Jeff's cakes!



Kate is 6 months old today. She weighs 14 pounds and 5 ounces and is almost 26 inches long. She did great at her doctor's visit today-she's going to have two teeth pretty soon! We are loving every moment of being her parents. Here are a few pictures from New York, I'll put beach pictures up as soon as I can.

Here we are at Aunt Gina's beautiful home and visiting with Uncle Barry, Aunt Adele, and cousin Heather below.


Thankfully, Kate's Nana and Mimi (great grandmother Mary) kept Kate for us so Jeff and I could go into New York City for a couple of days. Here we are at a Mets game.
