Kaitlyn is 13!!!!!!





























Yesterday marked a big day for Kaitlyn. She finally can say she's a teenager. Matt and I find it hard to believe she's 13 already. Seems just like yesterday where we waiting 20+ hours for her to arrive. Spending all night in the hospital just praying she would just make her arrival quickly. Now look at her, she's 5'1" and a beautiful young lady. We are so proud of the person she is turning into!

To celebrate her special day, last weekend she has 2 friends spend the night. They had fun watching movies and doing crafts. The next day they went to the movies. It was a simple but very fun "party". Yesterday was a snow day so she spent the day just hanging out at home playing on her new Facebook page. One of her girls friends came over in the afternoon to hang out for a bit, which was a great surprise for Kaitlyn. We couldn't go out for her Bday dinner so we made tacos and Matt made a special Daddy dessert for her.

Today since the weather is better and the roads are open we are taking her out for her birthday dinner that we missed out on last night. She is taking after her "Auntie" Brooke and turning her Bday into a month long event!

SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







It has arrived!!! I think Matt is even more excited than the girls about snow finally arriving here in Inverhuron. Friday morning we woke up to about 2 inches of white fluffy stuff. It was so beauitful and fun to watch it falling. It didn't last long on the roads, which I was thankful for. Kaitlyn had friends over and we needed to drive them half an hour away to the movies!

It lighty snowed over the weekend and then Monday morning we woke to about an inch then this morning about another 2 inches. Today has been partly sunny and bare, wet roads. I took advantage of the weather and drove up to WalMart to do a little shopping before the major wind/snow storm they are predicting starts tonight.

The girls had a blast last night playing in the snow and sledding down our little side hill. I have to say I'm glad that this year isn't as bad as last year and I pray the BIG snow fall holds off another week so we can drive to Detroit next Wednesday night for our flight on Thursday morning!!
