Kaitlin's 3-year Checkup

We just got back from Kaitlin's 3-year checkup and she is doing great! She weighs 26.6 pounds and is 36 1/4 inches tall which puts her around the 25th percentile for both. She hasn't even been close to 25th percentile since she was 6 months old so that is wonderful news! We are very lucky to have two healthy kiddos! Here is Kaitlin in her new dance outfit from Mrs. Christy.

Peek-A-Boo!

I was in our bedroom putting away laundry yesterday, when I heard lots of giggles from the great room. I went out to see what was going on and this is what I found:

First Day of School

Kaitlin moved up to the three-year-old class at school today. She looked so grown up carrying her backpack!

Seven Months

With all our travels, I never got around to taking 6-month pictures of Ethan. I'm really glad that I started taking these great pictures of him with the zebra and the lion when he was a baby since we won't be able to continue the "Harley/baby" series. So, here is Ethan at 7-months. As usual, I couldn't just pick one picture, so here are a few of my favorites.




This one cracks me up! Ethan is looking at Kaitlin like "What are you doing in my picture?


Ethan adores Kaitlin! Can't you tell?

Harley Yost 6/13/03 - 8/5/10

Today we lost a member of our family. Shortly after moving to Auburn, we got Harley. He was defective when we got him; he had a little spot on his nose that the breeders vet hadn't diagnosed. We decided to take a chance on the little guy and we are so glad we did! Harley has been the best dog. He just loved everyone and was the official greeter at the Yost house. As soon as the doorbell rang, he would run to the door to greet our visitors. We always joked that if someone tried to break in, he would lick them to death! Harley loved to take walks! We started calling them "things" because he knew what walk meant and would get all excited as soon as someone said the word. Harley didn't get nearly as much attention after Kaitlin was born and even less after Ethan was born, but he still loved us and he loved our kids (especially when Kaitlin would drop food for him)! He let us do a lot of silly things to him and he put up with a lot of stuff that Kaitlin did to him. He was very gentle with her. We couldn't have asked for a better dog. We miss you already, Harley!

Here are a few pictures of Harley through the years.
