Lately . . .

It seems we've been busy lately. Scott's been keeping the road hot on his recruiting adventures while Kilee and I have been running around doing various things together. Not that we've kept the world's craziest schedule or anything, but I've been finding myself excessively tired. And no . . . I'm not pregnant. :o)

I am really enjoying the Mom 2 Mom group at church. It has really been an encouragement to me to meet with other moms and discuss how we can grow as wives, mothers and followers of Christ. We have a lot of fun talking about our kids, too! I'm learning a lot. We've had a few projects going on at home in addition to the usual ones. I've been trying to get all of our clothes "switched over" from summer to fall for about a week now, we've had a "no eating out" policy for over a month so I've been cooking constantly, and I've found some other home improvementish tasks to do as well. Kilee Anne is constantly on the move! Scott and I think she is really close to walking now. She "cruises" around all of our furniture and walks holding onto me with just one hand! Is it really possible that our baby is almost a year old? It can't be true!

Things with Scott's job are starting to get a little less hectic far as his schedule is concerned, although he will have to travel a bit this month, too. He keeps busy, but he's been so good about coming home and making special time to spend with us. He's been hunting a few times, but no deer yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time -- he's pretty good with a bow.

Tonight we dressed Kilee Anne up like a puppy dog for trick or treat! She was SO cute. Like, seriously . . . she was the cutest baby EVER. I speak the truth, (and yes, I am her mother). :o) We will be posting pictures soon. Scott borrowed a video camera from work and got some great footage of the whole trick-or-treat experience. We had so much fun! God has given us such a wonderful blessing in little Kilee!

Take care everyone! More to come . . .

Fall Events

These past few weeks have been a blur! We've had a lot going on. We've enjoyed visits from family, trips to the Zoo, birthdays, and picking pumpkins! Scott's already been on the road quite a bit recruiting Summer Staff for 2008, so that's been busy for him -- and I've been busy with different activities at church, playgroup and visits with Kilee, and generally just keeping up with the little girl! Her latest feats include crawling (she's amazingly fast), walking while holding onto furniture, pulling up to anything and everything (all toilet lids MUST be in the down position at all times), and "cleaning out" all of our baskets, drawers and cabinets. It's exhausting, but VERY fun! I can't say much more, not because there's little to say but because I have GOT to go to bed! Here are some pictures you might enjoy. They're from my birthday where Scott and I had a cooking date and made a cake in the shape of a pumpkin, a trip to the Zoo, and our latest outing (today) picking pumpkins at Gallrein Farms in Shelbyville. It was a blast, we rode a hayride to the pumpkin patch, listened to live folk/bluegrass music, and picked some awesome pumpkins. Kilee Anne LOVED it!
