Helen you are so fun!

Helen we had so much fun spending every moment with you during spring break.  Your little personality is blossoming and I just love to hear you talk, and say, "wats dat?" about everything you see.  I can't believe you are 15 months old.

 Here you are at 14 months.  You love baby girl Eva and Percy.  You want to be with them all the time.  You adore animals of any kind.

  We went to the zoo over spring break with our friends Jenn, Eden and Micah.  You had so much fun, and got to even walk around a lot.  You thought the Giraffes were funny and said "wow" a lot.:)

Here you are ready for church sitting in a big person chair.  you are growing up so fast.  You even stayed in the nursery by yourself and momma got to attend the service.  This was the first time in a very long time.  She is so proud of you!

Here you are in your pajamas from aunt jeremie, and Uncle Kevin.  Anytime we say, "Oh my goodness!" you put your hands on your head and shake it like you think momma and dada must be crazy!  We love you sweet girl, and can't believe you are growing up so quickly.  You are no longer baby Helen.  You are getting to be a big girl who is going to be a big sister any day now.  Momma and dada love you so much!  You amaze us every day and make us smile even after a night of teething when none of us got any sleep.....molars are your thing right now.  I know even you will be glad when all those teeth finally arrive. never forget how special you are to us and how beautiful you are in every way.

showers, Kai and celebrations!

So Kai, I figure you will be here any day now.  I can't wait to see you face to face.  I love you already, and hope maybe we can go to the hospital today!  Nana wants us to wait until Friday because she wants to share a birthday with you, but you do want you want.  You are your own man.:)  Lots of our friends and family are excited about you coming too!  They have been "showering" us with lots of wonderful things.
First we had a celebration with the mothers of your future friends.  I knew them in college, and/or play music with them.  It was a celebration for Miss Laura too who is having  baby Claire who will be just the same age as you.  Here are the moms!

Helen was there too!  She got a little brother Kai doll from Julia (just behind her) as well as a big sister t-shirt that she will wear at the hospital.  She had so much fun, and is going to be so excited to see you soon too!

 Our best friends, and friends from church also wanted to show you how excited they were that you are coming!  Here is a picture from Jenn that we are going to put on your and Helen's wall.  The Elephant represents Helen, and the monkey with the bronco's bow tie is for you!  She had it designed especially for both of you!  We love it so much!


We are so blessed to be surrounded with such great friends and family.  I can't wait for you to meet them all!   momma and dada love you so much!  Can't wait until I can place your little chest next to mine, and hug you with my arms.  See you soon!
