Yay...A New Post!!

My apologies for the long break between postings. My sister got onto me the other day and told me to get some new pictures up soon. My reason, however, for being absent from the blogging world is a good one. Last week, Ryan's sister, Misty was here for the entire week from Connecticut so we were at his other sister, Amber's, house every day to hang out with her, her two kids, and Amber's 4 kids. It was so much fun! Karys's cousins are really starting to enjoy her now that she's older and more interactive. The last time Misty's kids (Will, age 2 1/2, and Jillian, age 1) saw Karys she was only a couple of weeks old and just not a whole lot of fun yet. Now she smiles, and even laughs! I found out from Misty and Amber that the noises I started hearing from her several days ago were, in fact, laughs. She gets this huge grin on her face, and makes almost a fake cough sound...so cute!

Oh, and today marks her three-month birthday. Wow...time is now flying! We took her to the doctor last Thursday because of a rash that wouldn't go away (turns out it's eczema) and she weighed 12 lbs. 2 oz. (that was with clothes and a diaper, though).

Here are some pics from our fun week with family:

Her adorable headbands that we have finally fit her so I dressed her all sassy! This onesie is a gift from a church friend, Rai Lynn, and on the back it has her name in this cute font with rhinestones around it. One day I'll get a picture of the back. :)
Look at this big girl!
And this is just a fun video for your enjoyment. She cracked us up because she was so enthralled with this toy!

What great fun to have so many cousins! I was one of 13 and we loved getting together! At least I loved it! *wink*

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
