I forgot to put this first picture on my last post, and it is one of my new favorites because Kate looks like such a big girl. Can't you almost get a sense of what she's going to look like as she gets older?!
The other night Kate fell asleep on my chest and since Jana wasn't around, I took a picture of it myself. It turned out all right, and you can get the idea of how sweet it was to have her hand pulling on my shirt and her head nestled into my chest. She's such a pleasant weight right now when she falls asleep on you.
Kate still looks like a baby in her pajamas and bib. She's so soft and huggable in her soft footed pajamas!
One of my favorite places at MSU is the gardens that include the demonstration gardens and children's garden. They are such cool places to walk through and amazingly, Drew and Kate had never been there. This past weekend Jana was at a retreat, so on Saturday night to get out for a bit I took Drew and Kate to the gardens. Drew had fun checking everything out and exploring the gardens.
The garden is right next to the train tracks and while we were there a train went by on the tracks. Drew has seen MANY trains from the car, but it was the first time we were up close when a train went past while blowing its horn . . . and it was loud! Drew's eyes were huge at the noise the train made. After seeing the train, Drew got up in this play train and enjoyed driving it.
He poked his head out of the engine room to say hello to me and Kate.
To my disappointment, this part of the garden wasn't operating. Usually you can rotate the metal thing Drew is holding and the frogs in the background have water pumped out of their mouths. It's pretty entertaining for kids (and adults too), and I was hoping to show it to Drew. Drew still had fun rotating it around, but it wasn't the same without the water shooting out of the frog's mouths.
Both Drew and Kate were THRILLED when Jana came home. They had a good weekend with Dad, but they lit up when mom got home. Kate chatted away and smiled all night, and Drew was giving everyone hugs!
