Enjoying a new toy...

We went out and bought these stringing beads tonight, and Kaya absolutely loves them!! It took her a minute to get the hang of it, but she now has it mastered and is obsessed with putting them on and taking them back off, over and over and over and...
You can see how hard she was concentrating. I must say though, that we haven't found a toy to keep her on task for this long in a while.

Front page news, hot off the press!!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
This may look like nonsense to most of you, but to the Sterk household this looks like a miracle!! This is Kaya's potty chart! Notice all of the stickers?! She has been doing absolutely awesome! She has even had some totally dry days already, and we just began officially "trying" on Sat. Jan. 19. She needs reminders still, but does ask at times on her own, and even goes #2 on the potty! She is so stinkin' proud of herself, and her parents are too. :) Pull-ups by day, still diapers by night, but on our way to big girl panty heaven soon enough. Please pray for us that it continues to go this smoothly.

Dress up anyone?

Yes, Grandma Myra came over...with more dress up clothes. She is going to turn my little girl into a girly-girl if it's the last thing she does. Kaya loves getting dressed up, and putting jewelry on, and prancing around the house. Who am I to stop all of this madness?!

"Cheese"!

You can totally tell that is what she is saying by this look on her face. Too funny.

Snow Day Fun!

Cartoons anyone?

Kaya just loves it when Kaleb comes over to play. They played hard for quite a while, and I swear had every toy in the house on the floor at the same time. It was a disaster. They eventually sort of settled down on the couch and watched some shows together. I just thought this pic was too cute!

Awaiting Baby Pitzer...

We are getting down to the wire here for the birth of Sara's baby. Her due date is a little wishy washy, as they often times are, so we are just awaiting the arrival at the proper time at this point. Please keep her and the baby in your prayers in the weeks, months, years... to come. :) They are all doing good at this point. I will be doing some traveling to the good old state of Florida as soon as I can get there once this baby is born. The sex is yet to be determined, so I personally, am very anxious to find out, and also personally hate this unknown way of doing things in case I hadn't told Sara that yet :) There is always a link to her blog along the side of mine, but here is a quick peek at her rough life in the terrible weather they have been having. :)

A visit with Kaleb

The Sutter's came over on New Years Day to hang out. They bought us a toy organizer and Kaya and Kaleb ran around with the bins on their heads. It was rather amusing.
