Belated News

I just wanted everyone to know, in case you don't already know that my brother Ed, or Eric to some of you , is getting married on September 30th of this year. We are excited! There is picture of Ed and his fiance and her adopted daughter further down on the site. I will definitely be posting pictures from the wedding as soon as we get them and Kali and I are heading to the shower this weekend. I hope to take the camera to get some pictures that I can post. Exciting times!

Center Pieces

Evie and Elizabeth's Aunt Sharon helped me put together this baby shower. She had wonderful ideas and a lot of stuff for us to use. She put together the center pieces. The piece of cake and napkin were not a part of the center piece but there was a center piece just like this for Hosanna as well as two other children present at this shower. Evie and Elizaebeth's sister, Esther has two children and they were celebrated at the shower as well.

4 Generations!

Great Grandma Kilko is holding the newest member and then Grandma Jane Kilko is to the left and Momma Evie is to the right. Grandma Jane Kilko flew back to the States especially for the shower. We were thrilled that she could be there. The original plan was for her to send a video but this was so much better!

Cousins

Finally a picture from the baby shower. These two adorable babies are cousins. They are the babies that I threw the double baby shower for at the beginning of August. Hosanna Joy is my niece. Her parents are Marcus and Elizabeth. Scott Michael is my husband's cousin's son. However, we are closer to them then just cousins might be. Steve and Evie, Scott's parents, hung out in our apartment a lot and were baby sitters and friends while we were at college. We loved sharing our home and our lives with them and we miss having them near by. I especially miss being able to do for them what they did for us when we had our children. I will add a few more pictures from the shower but I probably wont write too much for them. Enjoy!

Ed and Joah

Ed kept Joah happy during the baby shower for Elizabeth and Evie. I think Joah looks very much like his Momma in this picture. Anyone who is reading this that was at the shower and got some pictures, could you send me a few to post here? I didn't get any pictures from the shower so I can't post any until I get some.

A little story

No new pictures right now. I am waiting to receive a few pictures from the baby shower. We didn't get any.
Sunday night I turned on the Women's Gymnastic Finals. Daniel and Kali were instantly attracted to the tumbling and rhythmic music. Daniel laughed when the girls did the Vault and the Bars. Whenever the kids were watching the Floor Exercises, they would start dancing and doing somersaults. Danny can do sort of cartwheel which he seemed to improve upon throughout the evening. I think that all he needs to do now is extend his legs and he would be able to do a nearly perfect cartwheel. After twenty seconds of watching, Kali turned to me and said, "Mommy, I wants Gymnastics!!!!) I told her to tell her Daddy. I will probably look into gymnastics for her.
We have a busy next few months. I will be starting my new job soon. There is a bridal shower for Tina over Labor Day weekend and of course the wedding at the end of September. Danny starts school the day after Labor Day. Doug will be away all this coming weekend at a Men's retreat. He is truly looking forward to it. I know that he desperately needs a break.
Doing house work today so I had best get back to it.
