A Sneak Peek....

I just tried Kloe's costume on her for the first time and she LOVES it!!!! It is really soft and snuggly, so she cuddled right up in it and was as happy as can be!!

Kalee thought it was pretty funny to act like she was "picking" her sister!!

More Presents!!

Kalee and Kloe got some packages yesterday, from Sherry, Kevin, Lindsey, and Bailey! They got some super cool Halloween shirts, books, awesome Halloween gel window clings, and Kloe got a Taggies blanket which she seems to love already!! Here are some pics.....

A Fun Afternoon at the Mall

Yesterday I had some exchanges to make at the mall so we talked Daddy into joining us and we had a leisurely afternoon of shopping!

Kalee had me laughing before we left and made me realize what a freak I am about capturing all of the girls' firsts. I was dressing Kloe and put her in a little pair of shoes, more like slippers really. Kalee came in to see if we were ready yet and got so excited and said. "Oh, Mommy, this is Sissy's first time wearing shoes! Where's the camera?" It's so great to have her as a helper...she won't ever let me slip up!!!! So here is a shot of Kloe in her new kicks....

Kalee had some Build a Bear Bucks to spend so she couldn't wait to get in there and purchase Amy a new outfit, but on the way there she had some fun at the toy store, rockin' out the show....

and she also had a fun time in the Halloween store.....

Then we went for a super fun ride on the merry go round where we about made ourselves sick on "the spinny thing" and then we headed for home because Kalee said she was "pooped!"

FYI.....

Don't take your 4-going-on-24 year old daughter to the OB/GYN with ya if you can avoid it...Kalee has spent the afternoon discussing my UTERUS, and speculating that I am pregnant (WHICH I AM NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) because I have to have an ultrasound! SO, if you hear a rumor that I am prego, SO NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!

Our Weekend in the Mountains

This past weekend we went out to Cherokee, NC with Mom Mom and Pop Pop for a little mini-vavcation. Pop Pop had his truck in a show out there so it was a perfect opportunity to get away, and for him to finally get to spend some time with his newest granddaughter!



We had a really great time and the leaves and the mountain scenery were absolutely gorgeous! Kalee had tons of fun even though she was sick for the first 2 days and not feeling 100%, but she still seemed to enjoy herself. Kloe seemed to have fun, too, sleeping the days away...the cool mountain air really had her worn out! She even hung out at the campfire with us, all bundled up!



Another great part of the weekend was that Kloe got to meet some of my most favorite relatives, Danny's Aunt Dottie and Uncle Jim who live in Tennessee. They also came out for the weekend and it was so much fun to have them there, too! (Or actually, is that Uncle Dottie and Aunt Jim??? By the end of the weekend I was pretty confused, and I didn't even crack open any wine!) I am, however, looking forward to cracking some of that wine open VERY soon, so Uncle Jim should expect a phone call......

A Little Comparison....

These are pics of both girls (Kalee top, Kloe bottom!) with their first Halloween cards! The picture of Kalee is scanned so it is not the greatest but you can still tell how much Kloe looks like her!

Kloe's 2 Month Check Up

Today was Kloe's check up and she is growing!!! As you can see she is up to 10 pounds, 6 ounces now, and she is 21 inches long! She is a little short compared to her weight right now, but they said that she will soon catch up! The doctor said that everything looks great and she seems perfectly healthy, so we must be doing something right!!!! She was extremely brave for her shots, 3 in all, and she only cried for the brief moment that it took to stick her. She stopped as soon as I picked her up, so she is definitely a tough cookie! (I'm still a little traumatized...I wouldn't dream of skipping the immunizations but I hate to hurt my baby!!!)

Kalee was also a brave little soldier and got her "Flu Mist" so that she desn't bring home any gems to her baby sis...Thanks, KK!!! What a great big sister you are!!

Kloe is thoroughly exhausted from her big day at the doctors, though, so this is what she looks like at the moment....
