Fall fashion wear

Mary had an epiphany while lounging on the front lawn with daddy. She thinks that leg warmers (in the form of daddy's tube socks) are going to make a huge comeback this fall. We will have to wait and see if our little trendsetter is right!

Katie is growing like a weed!

d We had our two week well check for Katie on Monday. She now weighs 9 pounds and eight ounces! She has grown by two pounds and two inches since coming home two and a half weeks ago. Grandma said that she was changing right before our eyes, I just didn't know how much. The doctor said that Kate looks great and all newborn screenings were normal. Beautiful words to hear for any new mommy and daddy!

Mary time

Since bringing home baby Kate both mommy and daddy have tried to spend some alone time with Mary Mackenzie. She has been a real trooper and has been a big helper girl so far!

Life is good!

When Mary isn't busy reading the latest Hollywood gossip while she potty trains, she is teaching her new sister, Kate, the latest fashion trends in hat wear.

Sisterly Love

Mary and Kate are having a ball getting to know eachother. Mary loves to help take care of new baby Katie. All of our worries about the transition seem to have been unnecessary. In fact, seeing Mary's joy over her sister has been one of the most wonderful things we have experienced as parents. She insists on being front and center for all baby activities. Mary did have to take a break to attend a birthday party for her friend, Miguel. So far Kate has been a very good baby. She has her days and nights mixed up but we are told this will work itself out in time. Today is a sad day because we had to say good-bye to Grandma Meyer who has made Katie's first two weeks at home peaceful and fun despite the sleep deprivation. We will miss her terribly but we know that we will see her soon. We can't thank her enough for all that she has done!

Katherine (Katie) Grace Kissock Has Arrived!

Guest Writer: Aunt Angela

I am proud to announce the arrival of Ms. Katherine (Katie) Grace Kissock! She was surprisingly born on June 9, 2006 at 6:12 in the morning, after Suzanne's water broke at approximately 1 a.m. Weighing in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces, she is tiny compared to her sister, Mary Mackenzie, who weighed an astonishing 9 pounds, 6 ounces at her birth.

Suzanne is doing very well, especially since she had no epidural!!! That is right folks, she had the closest thing to a natural birth as humanly possible. She was informed during hard labor that her platelet count was low and because of this would be unable to get an epidural. Although she was obviously shocked at first, Suzanne handled it very well, and now we have a new beautiful, healthy baby in the family. We are so proud of her!
