Kaitlyn Joy's name is so fitting to her and what she brings to all of us. Kaitlyn means "Pure", and she is pure joy! If you look closely in the top picture, you can see her big dimple on her right cheek -- just precious! Kaitlyn is 2-1/2 months old in these pictures.
Kaitlyn has been smiling since she was around 4-weeks old, and she has started to belly laugh at times. Aaron and Allyson can really make her smile!
Peek-a-boo!
Aunt Melissa, this feet picture is for you! :-)
Aaron (5), Allyson (2-3/4) and Kaitlyn (2-1/2 months) are such happy, joyful kids that are so full of life. They LOVE to pose for the camera, too. The photographers at Portrait Innovations were amazed at how well they sat, posed and smiled. (Some bribing about going to Chuck E. Cheese's afterwards may have helped, too!) :-) By the way, can you tell they are related, or what?
Kaitlyn Joy is pure joy in our family. What a precious addition, gift and blessing she is to us. Both Aaron & Allyson adore their baby sister! Mommy was quite pleased that the red bow actually stayed in her hair -- she seems to be losing her hair quickly! Everyone wonders if it will come back in curly and/or blonde, like Ally's.
The laughter and smiles Allyson Grace brings to our home is priceless. Her stories that she makes up about Superman's real name being Stinky Pete and her giggles about Stinky Chipmunk at the dinner table make us all laugh. Her prayers always consist of asking God to bless all the cats and dogs, and she often prays for a man in our church with MS, named Lonnie. She is soft-hearted and beautiful on the inside and out. God's grace is already evident in your life, precious daughter!
Aaron Pryce is ALL boy! His favorite shirt reads, "I Do All My Own Stunts", and boy that's the truth. Jumping, climbing, acrobatics, wrestling, terrorizing the cat, sword fighting...the list goes on and on. While he does keep us on our toes, he is such a lovable little guy with a big heart! He loves hugs and kisses (but not wet ones!)
Aaron & Ally -- our American Gladiators!
Aaron could not relax his thumbs for this picture...he couldn't figure it out, and it was SO cute!
This is Allyson's "River Dancing" pose...
She is SUCH a happy baby!
Posing with the sisters!
Allyson, Bethany, Andrea and Lisa -- oh, and look at all that yummy food!
Kaitlyn slept through most of her "party" but no one seemed to mind!
I thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful, loving family. We took this picture in our backyard.
I delight in watching Aaron & Allyson play together and love each other.
Leaf Fight! It was tons of fun to watch 'til they turned on mommy and bombarded me with leaves over my head and down my shirt! :-)
What a little poser! Check out those boots!
Aaron & Allyson LOVE going to the zoo! You can see their excitement in the backseat of our pick-up. Can you tell they are related?
We DID look at animals, too, but our kids love the train and the carousel at the zoo. Daddy took the kids on the train...
...and we all rode the carousel together.
Our kids could look at the monkeys and gorillas all day! Probably because both Aaron and Ally like to climb and jump like them! If you look closely at this picture, you'll see Aaron touching the glass right beside a gorilla that is sleeping.
