Amazing Weekend!

This was such a fun long weekend. It started with Aunt Carolyn and cousin Tom coming into town. I already blogged about that so we will start with when Grandpa Fimmen came. Mom, Dad, Grandma and I all went to the airport to pick him up. I made a sign that said "love U Grandpa" and we held it when he came off the plane. Dad and Grandma were embarassed to hold up the sign!!! He was excited to see me and really loved the sign! He was so surprised...he thought only Grandma was coming to pick him up! Grandpa gave me lots of kisses and blew chub balls on my tummy! He is funny!! I Love him! My Dad took Friday off of work so he was home for 4 days!!! Yippee!! We got to play, he gave me baths and lots of kisses!!

On Friday my Uncle Tom came in town and I got to meet him for the first time! He is so fun to play with and nice. Aunt Carolyn threw a surprise 30th B'day party for him at a really fun pizza place called Stonewall pizza. It was a beautiful night and we all got to eat outside and celebrate!

On Saturday Miss Nancy made a really good lunch for everyone! We played Guitar Hero, Sing Star and ate lots of good food! Saturday afternoon I got to meet my Uncle Chris for the first time! He flew in all the way from NY, NY to be my Godfather and to give me kisses!! He was so nice and fun to play with!! I went out to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Horton, Uncle Chris, Mom and dad. We went to Chili's and had a great time!

Sunday was a very big day! We all had to get up super early because cousin Tom and I were having our Baptism at 9am at Cure of Ars!!! Mom and Dad got me ready for the day! I wore a very pretty outfit...the same one mom wore, grandma wore and lots of other family wore. It was the Baptismal outfit of my Great Grandpa Walsh!! It is over 80 years old!! Grandma Horton got me a Baptismal bib and white booties that mom said we would pass down through our family! I also wore the gold cross necklace my mom's Great Grandma gave her for her Baptism and carried the white blanket mom had at her Baptism. It was all very cool!

I love that I was able to be baptized with cousin Tom! I know the entire family loved the day just like I did! During the ceremony I was such a good girl (or so Dad says). I loved to stare at the stained glass ceiling and was very happy the entire time! I did not even make a peep when Father poor holy water all over my head and then put holy oil on my head! Cousin Tom was so funny because he yelled once he got on the alter!!! My Godmother is Aunt Jenny and my God Father is Uncle Chris!

After the Baptism everyone came over to my house for a big party! We had so much food - BBQ, cake, etc! Everyone had fun and I loved being passed around and given hugs and kisses all day long! I received some amazing gifts...thank you everyone! But boy was I tired after the party!!! I slept almost 7 hours Sunday night!! Partying tires me out!

We spent Memorial Day resting and eating (everyone did eat well this weekend)! I was pooped and it looked like everyone else was too!

I had so much fun this weekend and can't wait for everyone to all get together again!

Love,

Kate

My Cousin Tom!!!

I finally met my big cousin Tom! He is so cute and fun and I just love to play with him! He has really pretty eyes and dark hair with such pretty long brown eyelashes! As suspected, I am chubbier than him, but that's okay as I hear I will lose some of the chub once I start walking!!!! We took lots of pictures yesterday and everyone was so excited to have us both together! I also met Aunt Carolyn who is really nice and pretty! I can't wait for our fun weekend!

Here is a video of Tom and I:

Here are a few of the pictures we took too (for some reason a few would not rotate!):

My mobile

I love my mobile. It spins and sings to me. Mom and Dad love my mobile too. I can lay in my crib and watch it for a really long time and kick my legs and arms and giggle and coo and it. Here is a video of me with my mobile.

Love,

Hi everyone! I am having a lot of fun with my grandma and grandma great in town and staying at my house. Yesterday we ran a few errands and hung out and played at the house. When Dad got home we went out to dinner and then went on a walk. It was such a pretty day!

I am very nervous about tonight's American Idol final as Simon was not very nice to David Cook yesterday. We still called in and voted. Grandma got in about 20 times but mom and I did not have such good luck....we only got in about 5 times!! I hope he wins...I love him Afterall, he was my first concert!! Here is a pic of us watching AI!!

Everyone says I am getting really big. I can pretty much sit up all on my own (Daddy had to help a bit as I start to slide to my side after awhile)!

Today I get to meet my Aunt Carolyn and big cousin Tom for the first time. I can't wait to see them!! Mom told me not to be embarrassed if I am bigger than Tom. She said that although he is 2 weeks older than me he was born early so it is okay if I am chubbier! I don't care who is chubbier...I just want to play with him!

Here is a video of grandma and me playing yesterday. Enjoy!

Love,

Kate
