No reminders

I decided to beat Julia to the finish line--write a post BEFORE a reminder from her. Surprise, surprise! :D
So we'll just look away when Mom says "SMILE!"


Lizzie loves to help in the kitchen. These pictures are from the past two Sundays, hence the pretty church clothes.



Lizzie loves to "prinkle" salt, pepper, and cheese onto dishes. If spices need to be measured, I usually let her drop them into the bowl. When we made cookies on Friday night, she helped roll the dough into balls, "roll around and around and around," as she says.


Drumroll please....say hello to Miss Catherine M. Killion's very first tooth!

Here is the closeup.

Cate has been extra cranky this week because of her new tooth. Both her top and bottom gums are swollen; more teeth are ready to make their debut--soon, I hope! In the meantime, she'll be right back after a quick nap ;)



Since Chris finished his oral argument and paper, he declared Saturday to be a break from school. We loved having our daddy with us ALL day. It was THE best!
We went to Tyson's Corner in McLean, VA. I had to get a picture of this:

We've seen handicapped parking, we've seen family parking, we've seen expectant mothers parking (thank you UT). But this marks the very first time we've seen HYBRID parking. So you better believe we took advantage of it! haha Best parking spot we've ever had at a mall!


Yesterday was Reed's birthday and we Killion's and the Turman's were invited to the Heit's for cake and ice cream.
Here is Reed with his awesome Batman cake!

The kids LOVED it and they were so excited to EAT Batman!

Reed digging into our gift.

Happy Birthday Reed! We were happy to celebrate with you :)

We are very much looking forward to the end of the semester to have THIS Dad around the house!

April 27th: last final for Chris= the end of the first year of law school! It also means the beginning of a fun summer :)

Oh my, Lizzie's little peals are just about the cutest thing I've ever seen! Love it! The parking sign seems like something you would find in Switzerland!

I love Lizzie's Sunday outfits! What a pretty girl! And I love the sign--nice that you got to take advantage of it :)

I bet that is so nice to know you're almost done with ONE WHOLE year of law school! Does Chris have any classes during the summer? How does that work?
