Happy Easter Eve

I have been terrible lately about posting! Nate was out of town for a week and I've had so much work lately. Here are some fun stories and pictures.

Monday Cate and I went to The Wild Animal Park. Here she is in the petting corral. She wasn't big on petting the animals, but she LOVED feeding them.


Cate's hair is long enough for a ponytail now! She's seriously growing too fast. I can't believe how much she talks. She was so good the week Nate was gone - everything went really well.

Cate recently has taken greater interest in dressing herself. It's not all the time, but it's starting and usually involves a strong preference for a particular pair of socks, usually the brightest ones she has.


Last Saturday a little boy in our neighborhood named Jimmy had his 3-year birthday party. Cate had a blast and especially loved her goodie bag with cool little toys. The party was quite long and she was EXHAUSTED. She started melting down on the way back and about halfway back to our place just laid down in the middle of the sidewalk. She would sob and put her face on the ground, then roll over on her side and suck her thumb, then cry some more. All I could do was laugh - it was seriously so funny. When we got home she just laid on the floor for a while.


About 2 weeks ago Cate was sitting in her highchair. We were in the kicthen getting food ready. Then we heard, "OH.... (long pause).... MY.... (long pause).... GOODNESS." The drama.
