Baby and the Dog

Things really started getting fun when lil K actually noticed our dog Maggie. Before that Maggie would walk by, jingle her collar, smell the baby, and lil K was oblivious. Then she started following the dog with her eyes and smiling. Now she is watching, giggling, reaching, holding her arms out to and petting the…

We’re Pregnant!

We found out we were expecting a baby back in November and have been super ecstatic since. This is the announcement we put up on Facebook.
