Uncle Brian and Aunt Heather visit

One of the highlights this year has been an awesome visit with Uncle Brian and Aunt Heather. We didn't get to see them over Christmas, so I was beyond excited to see them. Brian and Katherine became best buds...she would clutch onto Brian like there was no tomorrow. When I dropped Brian and Heather off at the airport, Katherine screamed loudly enough for eeeevvveryone at the airport to hear. And she kept screaming...after they went inside, they could still hear her. Katherine, I felt the same way...I miss them already!

Legos!

Ish ish

My last post was about....Thanksgiving. Whoooops!

This winter, we actually got quite a bit of snow here in Athens. One storm was bad enough to cancel school for the entire week. There was over an inch of ice sitting on top of several inches of snow, and I felt bad for (laughing at) Winston. He would go outside and skate on top of the ice...not sure how to get around the yard.

John is busy busy teaching this semester, and he's had a great time with it. His students are great, which always makes it fun. Katherine has been busy running around, dancing, growing crazy curly hair, drumming, and attempting to talk. She says only a few words (although inconsistently), but she is sure able to communicate with plenty of points and "Ish ish," which seems to be her catch phrase. And, that catch phrase has caught on...Brian greets me on the phone these days with an "Ish ish."

Enough ish, ish....time for some pictures, in order of increasing curls (okay, it's chronological).

What kid doesn't like stickers?!

Katherine was suffering through her first ear infection in this picture, but she still perched on her chair like a little lady.
