Long Overdue

Well, it has been entirely too long without an update here. We have tons of stuff we keep meaning to post, but amazingly enough, time really gets away from you with a 10 month old in the house. So today I had a break in the action and thought I would quickly jot down some goodies and load up some pics. I absolutely can't believe we are so close to her first birthday, the growth and change and fun we have had with her so far is amazing!! Here we are on a hike at Natural Bridge- she LOVED it. She loves being outside in general.

She is a great kid, and we are honestly very lucky. She has her moments- like recently she has decided to test her vocal range when it comes to naptime. She can shrill with the best of them. It is actually kind of funny- 70% of the time. She gives up pretty easily, but don't tell her I told. Other than that, she stays happy and smiling and lets us know when she's hungry. Like the rest of the Kettenring family, if you miss the sweet and nice hungry cue, she gives you a look and a warning- just like her daddy. She loves to share, here she is offering a yummy slimy biter biscuit...
She is a complete ham for the camera- when that little orange light comes on, so does the smile!

Just recently we went on a trip to a corn maze and pumpkin patch. I had bought her an outfit before she was born (we didn't find out boy or girl), a Snoopy puffy vest and shirt. I loved Snoopy growing up, so wanted my kid to have something with Snoopy, plus, it's cool. It is obviously more boyish, but she is a strong woman and ain't afraid to push the boundaries. So Shannon let me put her in it for our trip. Of course everyone kept saying" hey there buddy" and "he's so cute". She was cool with it though.

Finally, here she is in her Halloween costume from our Pumpkin Patch party at church last night- she is by far the cutest bumblebee I've ever seen. So that is it for now, but hopefully we pick up and post more here vey soon-we'll see. Things are only going to get more hectic I think!
