Keeping Current with Kathryn

I have some very particular blog readers out there. First you complain about me not blogging then you complain about how I blogged. It was brought up to me that I didn't post any recent pictures of Kathryn, better known around here as Baby Sister. I realized that Steve, Nathan and I rarely call her Kathryn. I don't really have any Kathryn stories to share. Well, I do, but they're boring to everyone who isn't her mom, so I'll spare you the details. I know how bad it sucks to have to listen to other people's newborn baby stories. When she's old enough to do cute stuff, you won't be so lucky, though!

She likes having her legs out of her clothes.
Here's my little bathing beauty.
Bath time is her favorite time of day.
Nathan provides Baby Sister with plenty of entertainment... whether she likes it or not.
He's also in charge of keeping the music playing while she's in her bouncy seat. He likes pushing the buttons.
She's not a huge fan of being all bundled up. I guess she's a southern girl.
Nathan isn't a huge fan of the cold and wearing bulky coats and bundling up either. However, he is a fan of licking the cold window. That's not weird, is it?

Squadron Christmas Party

I've been catching a lot of flack for not having new blog posts daily like my readers have grown accustomed to. My deepest apologies. Here are some pictures from the other night. Major Meissner and I attended the squadron Christmas party last weekend while Oma babysat Nathan and Kathryn.

My two guys.
Mother, can this picture count as our picture taken together because I don't like the professional picture we had taken?
I know everyone will sleep a little better tonight knowing these guys are protecting our country. When they aren't dropping bombs, they enjoy singing karaoke.
Typical Pigpen style.
You had to know this one was coming. Nathan climbing all over Steve the next morning. Steve's gonna kill me!

Blog Backtracking

As expected, blog posts are becoming fewer and fewer. I'm going to try to do better. I really can't blame it on being super busy with a new baby because she is the easiest baby ever. Maybe she just seems that way because Nathan was the most difficult baby ever.

Anyways, I was looking through pictures and realized I never posted these pictures. Kathryn is 10 days old in this picture. Steve lost hope in Nathan becoming a Vikings fan, so he's concentrating on Kathryn now.
It didn't take Kathryn long to figure out how to win her daddy over. Not only did she wear the Vikings clothes without throwing a fit, but she actually smiled while doing so.
Another Sunday, another anti-Vikings fit thrown by Nathan when Steve tried to get him to wear the jersey.
I just like this picture. She's in the Christmas spirit.

Lady's Days

Ugh... Lady is going home, back to her leisurely lifestyle. That sucks because that means I'm going to have to start taking care of my own children now. Kathryn poops and I yell, "Mom, Kathryn pooped." Then Lady takes her and gets her all cleaned up and doesn't give her back for a couple of hours. She's been spoiling me at night, too. She even gets up and changes Kathryn's diapers for me in the middle of the night. I feed Kathryn then hand her off to Lady and fall right back to sleep. Lady sure is putting Steve in a predicament once she goes home!
Apparently I'm not used to buying hats for kids with normal size heads.
Lady and Nathan are on again/off again friends. Basically, if Lady does what he wants, when he wants, how he wants, they get along just great. Here they are dancing together.
Dancing, per Nathan's request.
Climbing on Lady as she checked in online for her flight home. He insisted that she wasn't flying home tomorrow.
When Nathan is sweet he makes you forget all about how mean he can be.
Kathryn is sweet all the time.
Here are a few pictures over the past few days.
One of Kathryn's brief moments of no one in her face.
He received some paints as a big brother gift. He has painted some beautiful works of art.
Lady can't pull her camera out without Nathan asking to "push the button" on it. Ever since Paw-Paw taught him about the self-timer setting on the camera, he wants to take group pictures nonstop. Lady and Paw-Paw's camera has about 20 of this same picture on it.
Lady and Kathryn had all the picture taking they could handle, so they left it to Nathan and me.
Thankfully, our neighbors put Christmas lights on their trees for Nathan to enjoy. That saves us the hassle of putting lights out.
Bath time at our house takes forever. Nathan's baths are a minimum of an hour long.
Kathryn loves bath time, too.
All warm and snuggly.
Nathan's new desk doubles as his dining table.
Stuffing his face with more Arby's chicken nuggets.
Another kiss for Kathryn.
Worn out from all the excitement over the past couple of weeks.
