Having fun in KC
In the laundry basketI haven't posted for weeks so this one will bring you up to speed on the last several weeks.
We went to KC for the Valentine's Day / Presidents Day weekend. We had a great time. Spent lots of time with Junior and his family. Everyone absolutely loved Caroline and she loved all the attention. While in KC we also went to Herington, KS to stay a few days with Traci and Emma. My friend Nicky and her daughter Ella also joined us. Traci, Nicky, and I have been friends for a very long time and we enjoyed spending a few days together with our beautiful daughters - we are very proud mothers.
Last weekend my friend Kyndra, her husband Larry, their daughter Cassidy and Kyndra's folks came to visit from Denver. Kyndra and I have been friends since 7th grade and her parents are like second parents to me so it was so nice to have all them here to visit. We had a nice time and the girls enjoyed eachother. We plan to go there in July for a visit.
Caroline is officially crawling and pulling up. All she wants to do is stand. I can't leave her alone for a second or she has moved to the coffee table and is pulling herself up. She is very steady when she stands - I have a feeling the crawling won't last long and she will be on to walking. My house is not yet ready for a mobile toddler - guess I better get it that way soon. She wants to touch EVERYTHING - she is so curious. She has 6 teeth and more coming - she has had a rough few nights and is very crabby today - we are trying a nap right now for about the 4th time today and she is not asleep yet, I can hear her in there moving around and talking to herself. Probably cussing me out because I keep putting her in the there for a nap - believe me she needs one!
We had Amy & Brian's wedding shower last night - very fun. The picture attached with Caroline and Grandpa is from last night. The wedding is 2 months away tomorrow. We are all getting very excited.
My sister Julie, her husband Tom and my nephew Bo are coming from Minneapolis the last weekend of the month. They will be back for the wedding but cannot wait until then. They have had such a rough winter and Julie is in need of some warmth and some sunshine. I am so excited to have them meet Caroline. It will be great to have Bo and Caroline together - lots of pictures to follow after that trip.
Other than that not much new. I have been traveling a lot for work and thanks to mom, dad, and Amy I am able to do that though I miss Caroline so much when I am away. I try to only stay away 2 days and 1 night. I think she enjoys her time with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Amy. This child is certainly not hurting for love and attention.
Caroline has her first birthday right around the corner - April 17th. I can't believe it!
I'll post again soon and add more pics.

Hi Gretchen,
The new pictures of Caroline are wonderful. She has blossomed and grown so much! We love the picture of her smiling with her grandpa. Kaleb has a smile just like that. Your daughter is very beautiful! All our love...S&K&K
Great to see her growing up!!! It's so fast and she is a beauty queen! We leave this Friday to pick up our baby girl...not sure if I'm ready for the drive to Almaty and leaving Michael is just about throwing me over the edge, but girls are worth it, right?
