Happy Anniversary to us!

We're off (again)!
Look, Grandpa Bill!
Bill, you will be quite happy to know that Kate is now so intrigued by horses that she "rides" everything--the vacuum being her favorite horse simulation! Her eyes were so wide at the fair when she saw stall after stall of horses that we weren't sure she'd ever blink again. Last weekend, we had dinner with a family who own a horse, and Kate was literally pounding on the window when she saw their daughter riding it. She even touched it, so we're making progress! I think you'll have your little cowgirl soon. :)

Dinner time silliness...
No particular reason for this video, other than that I love to watch Kate giggle! She also loves to watch this video of herself. She literally cracks herself up! We're doing inside stuff today since it's the first rainy day we've had in quite some time. I know I shouldn't complain because we've had such a nice summer, but I don't like having to stay inside....mostly because Kate is much more enjoyable when she gets some outside time!!

Kate's latest obsession....
is Hickory's bed. Hmmm. We can't quite figure that out, or figure out a way to stop her from crawling all over it and becoming completely covered in dog hair. Although I don't love having to constantly chase her with a lint roller, I must admit that it is quite sweet when she takes little "rests" with Hickory. Now, if I could only get her to actually nap there, I might be on to something.....

Mommy's little helper
Kate, as you can see, is a huge help in the kitchen! When she first started "exploring," Ryan and I thought we'd give her one drawer, and that would satisfy her. Of course, we were completely wrong about that. She does love the drawer, but she also loves ALL the other drawers and all the cabinets. So, with very few exceptions, the kitchen (at least the low part) has become her domain, which is why you'll find things in all sorts of odd places should you ever try to cook in our kitchen. My mom said that I used to tell her that I wanted to be a "drawer cleaner" when I grew up, so I guess this is just payback for all the "cleaning" I once did!
