Play Dates

It's so much fun having close friends with little girls about the same age as Kylah! On Friday Kylah and I met Sarah and Trinity for breakfast, and then went to Millenium Park. The weather was perfect and the girls had a great time running around! Give them about 6 more months and I think they'll actually play "together"...

Peak-a-boo!

Then on Monday, Amy and Olivia came over to play! The weather wasn't quite as nice so we stayed inside and got out Kylah's Dora tent. Again, Kylah had fun - she must have because she slept like a rock that night!

The girls, saying goodbye!

Golf!

Kylah's first golf lesson with daddy!

Kylah loves everything and anything that has to do with being outside. She typically goes for the soccer and basketballs first, but she loved her new golf clubs we got out last weekend. We're looking forward to the warm weather this weekend so we can go out and play again! Maybe she can show mom a thing or two about hitting the ball ;)

Happy Easter!

After a few days of Easter celebration, Kylah is completely wiped out! She went down for a nap at 10:30am today...it's now 1:30pm and she's still sleeping. Although we've been very busy, we've had a lot of fun with all sides of our family the past few days.

Easter started with Kylah's day care party. Eating cookies, decorating hard boiled eggs, and then the ultimate easter egg hunt with all her friends!


She found the first egg, but didn't understand to put it in the basket. We switched her basket for a zip lock bag and she started to get the idea. She found about 3 eggs by herself, and the rest of the kids filled her bag for her.

On Easter Sunday, we got up early and went to Church. Afterwards we met my mom's side of the family for brunch, and then spent the rest of the day with Craig's family in Lansing. The Easter bunny visited Kylah twice yesterday! She's one lucky little girl...

All ready for church!

Kylah and Caleb after breakfast...he was fixing her hair (or petting her?)!

Kylah got a camera and a phone in her Easter basket, along with a whole bunch of other things she loved!

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful so we were able to take a family walk in the afternoon too. It was so nice to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine again!

Hopefully you all had a great Easter holiday too!

Update

Craig and I want to say thank you to everyone who's been here for us the past week. Your phone calls, emails, messages, visits, and edible arrangements have meant a lot to us, and really re-emphasize how wonderful our friends and family truly are. Your encouraging words and advice are greatly appreciated.

It's still very quiet at our house. It's hard to come home from work and not be greeted at the door, and it's hard to fall asleep at night without the sound of Riley breathing beside our bed. We are constantly reminded of him all throughout our house, but are in no rush to put any of his toys or blankets away.

We are hanging in here though...and are enjoying the time we're spending with Kylah. She never ceases to amaze us with her fun loving personality and innocence to life in general. She recently started singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, her ABC's (although she skips quite a few letters), and can count to 4 by herself. At only 18 months, I think that's pretty good!!

Anyway - thanks again to everyone for your support. We love you all. (And we love you too Riley!)
