Update on the Essings

The picture isn't the best, but I had to post it. Katy is still on bed rest but was able to come home earlier this week!! She had a doctor appointment today and it looks like she is handling the transition just fine! She is happy to be home - especially since her husband is also on "bed rest." Luke fell off a ladder last weekend and broke his knee cap. He had surgery on Tuesday and will be in a cast for 6 weeks! What luck! At least they have lots of time to spend together during this time! Fortunately for them, both of their moms have been staying with them and are waiting on them hand and foot!! I think they are enjoying the royal treatment! :)

Kennedy - 1 month old!

I can't believe Kennedy is already one month old!! She started smiling at us this week! It's amazing how quickly time goes by! She is still a very good baby. She is definitely more laid back than her wild brother!

Kaeden still loves Baby "Kiki." He is such a good big brother (so far!) :)

Christmas Tree

Kaeden had a fun time helping me decorate the tree, although he wasn't always too helpful! :)

More November Pics

My mom came to visit the kids. Kaeden had a blast with her! She was a lot of help for me - I don't think I would have gotten the Christmas tree up without her this year!!

Kennedy finally got to meet Great Grandma Dar at Thanksgiving! We wish we could see her more often!

Proud Grandpa Bob - He's a natural! :) I wonder if we can get him to change a diaper!! HA!

Grandpa Al came to visit with Jenna and his girlfriend, Laurie, and Laurie's daughter Tori. Kaeden put on quite a show for him!!

Kaeden LOVES Auntie Jenna - or "Lela," as he calls her! We wish she lived closer so we could spend more time with her! She is a very good babysitter! :)

Kaeden has been going through a phase where he likes to take off his clothes and run all around the house. We're going to have our hands full with him!!


Kaeden has started expressing some desire to use the potty. He hasn't actually gone yet - he just has fun getting on and off the potty! We bought him his own potty so we might start working on that after the first of the year!
