The middle one just cracks me up!

Tanner and Kaya...playing?

We were in Kaya's room working on putting the decals up when Tanner began to show Kaya some of her toys. She seemed to be quite interested in what he was showing her, and he seemed to have fun...i think they just had their first round of play!

Skid Loader

 
 
 

...it was a bit hit all around. Evan and Tanner enjoyed watching, riding and playing in it; I'm pretty sure Drew and Gary enjoyed operating and monkeying around with it; and I know I'm enjoying the fact that finally...finally, we are making progress on our back yard.

Her new hat...

Kaya rocks out her new hat from Cousin Andrea and family...thanks!

Cozy with Nana

Cathy Strikes Again...

Cathy came over to meet Kaya and let Abby and Tanner have a little playtime. Fortunately for us, she brought along her camera and posted a shot of Kaya and I on their blog. Check out the post here or see the image below.



Thanks Cathy!

Gardening

As we all waited for Baby Kaya to arrive...Tanner, Oma and Opa decided to spruce up our front porch.

Baby Sister Kaya is Here

After keeping us waiting...Kaya made up for it with a quick entry into this world. We had a great labor and delivery, with just five hours from the time of my first contraction to Kaya's birth in the early hours of Monday morning.

The Waiting Game...

Two days till her due date...we are all waiting, some more patiently than other, for her to make an appearance. Tanner is working on his big brother helper skills and spent sometime yesterday afternoon putting a doll into the swing, buckling it up and giving it a good push.

part 2 maternity...sneak peak

As mentioned in my earlier post, in addition to our family shots, Cathy and I ran around Monday afternoon and got some fun shots of the big belly. You can check out their blog post here.

A Family Portrait - Sneak Peak

We hooked up with Cathy of Cayton Photography last weekend to have some photos taken before my belly disappears. They posted a little sneak peak on their blog here.

Cathy and I also ran around and did some maternity photos alone, fun things to look forward to.

Thanks Cathy!

Touch The Trucks

Tanner was in heaven...trucks, buses, loaders, fire trucks, and tons of other vehicles to sit in, honk horns and be in awe...it was a good morning.

Happy Birthday Drew

We hope you enjoy your Monarch Crest ride...maybe we can all join you next year!

Love, Surya, Tanner and the Belly
