Where to Begin???

So much to tell, too few pictures to show you. Let's see, I guess we'll start with last Friday.


On Friday, Keelyn and I packed up the mom bomb and headed to my parents house for the weekend. We both wore our purple & gold LOUD AND PROUD (except I forgot to get a picture of it) to try and bring my beloved Panthers good luck in Saturday's game. Shoulda had her wear it on Saturday. Stupid me!!! Anywhosers, we stopped at Grandma Sally's school where she got to show off her granddaughter to all her friends. Then, I got my hair cut (for the first time since, wait for it... February. Gasp!) Friday night meant lots of grandparent spoiling snuggling.

Saturday was jam-packed full of fun! Of course, being the nice wife I am, I dressed Keelyn in her Hawkeye crap garb, and well, you all know the result of that mistake!

Anyway, back to the story..first, we traveled to Odebolt where Keelyn got to meet her great-grandma Vi.

After a short visit there, we came back home and started getting ready for the wedding of my classmate, Cari. Keelyn and I looked GREAT (if I do say so myself), but again, I forgot to get a picture. Sad face. It was super fun to see lots of people from back home. The best part? They all ooed and ahhed over her :). Yep, I'm a darn proud Mama!!

Sunday meant going to church (Side note: a pair of twins born one day before Keelyn got baptized. The boys name? Yeppers, you guessed it. Kinnick. Shoot! Sean was not a happy camper when I showed him that. If we have a boy next, I may have to give in...). After a yummy lunch, Keelyn and I packed the buggy back up and headed home. You would think we would have stopped there, but oh no, not us. Then we went to a fun Labor Day party at some friends' home in Carlisle.

Monday was spent doing some much-needed laundry and some much-loved family time including lunch at Applebee's, a shopping trip to Target, and some serious cuddling with Keelyn.

Today was a new step in this journey called parenting... the reality of going back to work :*(. Of course, I cried when I dropped her off at Holly's, but got better when I got to school. The best part? When the day was done and I got to rush home to my baby. Holly, being the wonderful woman she is, made sure to send us two emails today, one of which included a picture of Keelyn and her 3 new boyfriends.

Watch out world!
