Kaitlyn in Ohio

Well, Kaitlyn is on her way back here after spending almost a week in Ohio - by herself - with my folks. She did great and sounds like she had a great time. She got to go to a UD (University of Dayton) Girls Basketball game (MOM!! This place is BIG!! And it's LOUD!! And there's CHEERLEADERS!! And a BAND!!). A trip to Boonshoft (Kids museum) resulted in Dad staying upstairs and Mom down while she climbed and slid her way back and forth between them. And she got a kick out of the planetarium show. She could almost reach the stars! A trip to the US Air Force Museum was a hit - she loved getting to climb up in the planes and explore around.

She also enjoyed going with Mom and Dad to eat with friends. Mom was bragging one night and asked Kaitlyn to write her name on the back of the place mat. Kaitlyn just scribbled. Mom asks, "What is that?" and her reply... "My name... in SPANISH!" Now, where did that come from??

Zach has missed her, and gets so excited when we talk to her on the phone, and especially when we Skype with her. I can't wait to see his reaction when she walks in the door.

I've enjoyed the nice quiet week with Zach, getting some great one-on-one time with him. And now I can't wait to see my Girl! YAY!!

Twirl Girl

Okay, so not long ago, Rick and I actually got to go out on a date. When we got home, I did my customary checking on the sleeping children. Kaitlyn kinda half woke up when I covered her up, so I asked her if she needed to go potty. She responded, "I... I... I need... I need... (BIG SIGH)... I need to twirl!" and fell immediately back to sleep.

I'm suprised my laughter didn't wake her back up!
