Katelyn Meets Uncle Mitchell and Hayley

Hi all! Our most recent visitors were Uncle Mitch and Hayley who made the trip last weekend from Chicago to meet Katelyn. She's having a lot of fun meeting all these new people (Michael and I are certainly enjoying the company too!) Katelyn truly does seem to take in each face of all the new people she's meeting - it's fun to watch her look at everyone. We all especially got a kick out of Katelyn's many facial expressions - Mitch was particularly fond of them! In addition to spending some quality time with Katelyn, we took Mitch and Hayley to our favorite Mexican restaurant, went shopping at a nearby outlet mall, went to Uptown to walk/rollerblade around Lake Calhoun, enjoyed homemade pizzas and salad, and colored Easter eggs. Mitch and Hayley brought Katelyn her first Easter basket which included adorable bunny ears - check out the photos below. We loved having them visit and are so happy that Katelyn finally got to meet Uncle Mitch and Hayley!



Two peas in a pod!!







At Lake Calhoun - downtown Minneapolis is in the background.



Uncle Mitch and Hayley must've been Katelyn's good luck charm: she slept through the night for the first time on Saturday (11 p.m. - 7 a.m.) and did it again last night. Way to go, Katelyn!!





The boys did a whiskey taste test between Makers Mark and Buffalo Trace. Hayley and I just tried to smell the difference and even that about knocked our socks off!

Have you ever seen such a cute bunny?!? Hop...Hop...Hop!

Being a bunny is tiring!

"Now, Katelyn, it's almost baseball season and just because you live in Minnesota doesn't mean you can't cheer for the Cubs..." Words of wisdom from Uncle Mitch :)

Up next: Grandma Debbie and Aunt Jennifer! They're flying in on Friday and will be here for the weekend. We look forward to celebrating Easter with them!

Katelyn, Looks like you had lots of fun meeting your Uncle Mitchell and Hayley! Aren't they fun?! I think you made some extra funny faces for Uncle Mitch to imitate, and what a big girl you are sleeping through the night! You're such a sweetheart!
