CHRISTMAS CARDS!

Keith's boss came over to take some Christmas card pictures for us. He took 100 pictures and the girls did great! It made a difference having them done in our home. Mommy wasn't crying by the end of the photo shoot either! We got some really nice shots of the girls that I included here. I promise they will be in the mail this week. Kayla is now 10 months old and walking everywhere. She only weighs 15 pounds so everyone is amazed to see her toddle along. She is starting to "talk", she babbles on like she is carrying on a conversation with somebody! Time is flying so fast, January 16th she will be a year old.
Emma is now 3 and talks all the time! She doesn't forget a thing and likes to point out when Mommy and Daddy are wrong. She amazes us everyday with the things she is learning. We are so blessed to have 2 wonderful girls.

Halloween!

Can't Catch Up

Look Mom I can wave!

Apple Picking at Apple Hills!

Our Summer Trip to Sesame Place

Ever feel like you can't catch up? Wow, do I feel like that these days! So here are some pictures of our last few months.

Catching up

Papa's Birthday

I'm so far behind I'm just going to post pictures! Kayla turns 8 months old today! I don't know where the time goes!

6 months old!

Kayla Eating Green beans for the first time. Don't let this picture fool you, she didn't like them.
This is Kayla with her 2 new friends, Franklin and Elias. They were all born within a month of each other. Frankie's dad (Andy) and Elias' dad (Shawn) went to high school with Keith. We have a picture of all the moms pregnant together but I couldn't find that picture to post. :)

July

I'm attempting to post some pictures my mother in law took. We are slowly settling into our new home. The weather here hasn't been the greatest so we have only used the pool 3 times! We celebrated Emma's 3rd birthday last week with a Backyardigins birthday party. We had a great time and Emma got many nice gifts! Kayla is now 6 months old and we are loving watching her grow. She is still tiny tiny. She is finally wearing 3-6 months clothes! She loves her older sister. Emma can get her to laugh so hard. So enjoy the pictures!

I have been without a computer for 2 whole weeks! ahh now I am borrowing my mother in laws computer to update this. So if you haven't heard from me.. thats why! We have made the move to Apalachin and are now waiting for our closing on the new house. We closed on our (old) house last week and I am giddy with excitment. So we can now start woking on the new house.
Emma is loving the new house and has a new pink room. I'll show pictures next time. Kayla doesn't seem to notice the change. Kayla is now 4 and a half months old and laughs out loud. I love it. It is the greatest sound. For those who are trying to contact me the new number is 625-3180 and I still have my cell.

The Park

We finally had some nice weather and we walked down to the little park in our subdivision. Here are some pictures to prove we walked down and back up the big hill!

Jumping Jungle

This week we went to an indoor inflatable park. Emma loved it! She could run and climb and slide! It's great to do since the weather here hasn't been the greatest. We are going again next Tuesday!

He is Risen!

We had a wonderful Easter. Here are 2 pictures of my girls and my nieces. I have some more I will add later!

Smiles

Kayla is smiling more and more. Emma can get her to make some really big smiles, so here are some pictures to prove it!

Sold

After only 3 days on the market our house sold! So begins the next chapter in our lives. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. But I'm happy I don't have to keep my house clean for people to come and view it anymore! For those that don't know we are moving to the casterline's in Apalachin. We will have a bigger house and a pool, so those that love swimming come on over!

Pictures of the girls!

Kayla is now 2 months old and Emma is 2 1/2.

St. Patrick's Day

Here are some pictures from our celebration of St. Patrick's Day!

Sick again!

The Casterline's are recovering from a week of sickness! Valentine's day proved to be another day of runny noses and nights without sleep! Kayla has an ear infection, Emma has a sinus infection and Keith has bronchitis. However I made Kayla dress up in her 1st valentines day outfit anyway! (She was thrilled!) When Emma started to feel better she and I went out and attempted to build a snowman. I can't remember the last time I built a snowman and the last time I went sledding was at Wes and Kaley's many, many years ago. ( i think the year you got married?) Needless to say Emma and I had lots of fun for the 20 minutes we were outside!

Kayla Grace

watching the super bowl!!!
Kayla's first bath!

Well,I'm finally sitting down to show you some pictures of our beautiful baby girl. We have had a good adjustment moving from 1 to 2 girls in the house. Keith has given up hope and has resigned to being in a house full of girls. Kayla is getting better at sleeping through the night. She only gets up a few times. She is a good eater, but would choose to sleep rather than eat during the day. So here are a few pictures of Kayla now 3 weeks old!

She's Here!

Kayla Grace was born on Friday at 3:11 pm. After 2 days of contractions she made her appearance. She has a ton of dark hair and the same little nose as her sister. She weighted 7lbs. 6oz. One ounce less than Emma. So much for the big baby. She is 21 inches long and we have no idea who she looks like (although she has my hair). Here are some pictures until we get some more and I get a good nights sleep!

Change

This is my last time to write before I'm off to the hospital to have baby girl number 2. I will be "checking into" Wilson Hospital Wednesday evening and will be induced on Thursday morning. Baby sister ( as she is called by Emma) has a big body and the dr didn't want to wait until my due date, to keep her from breaking any shoulder bones coming out. Its comforting and nerve racking knowing when I'm going in. It helps with planning, but then makes me nervous actually knowing. I just keep reminding myself its all in God's hands, what do I need to be nervous about! :) So the next time I write, I will hopefully have pictures of the new baby! See you then!

We are blessed

We had a wonderful Christmas celebrating with our family. My sister and her husband flew in from Colorado and my sister in law and brother in law flew in from Cincinnati. Emma loved all her gifts and wanted to know if all the presents were for her! Here are a few of the highlights from the holidays. The picture of the "adults" is of my sisters and my cousins. This year my Papa gave us each a set of the state quarters that he has been collecting for the last 8 years. None of us had any idea he had been collecting each one of us a set.
