July 2009

Finally getting caught up on pictures again...we've been enjoying life with Katelyn so much, and feel like we are getting into somewhat a schedule! Katelyn has been smiling for a couple weeks now - just a little here and there, and a couple days ago, she slept through the night for the first time! I woke up nice and scared, wondering if she was still breathing, and she was, and we are both happy. :)
Giving me a bit of a smile - when she really smiles, her face just lights up!
Here's more pictures of the two weeks with Tim here - we had a few games nights which was fun. Playing 'Bang' here which was great.
One night, Tim showed us how to play Lost Cities.... :) (yes brother, we like it!)
We watched James play soccer one night - this was Katelyn's first time being at the soccer field! Aunt Nel came to help cheer on the Red team.
Me and Katie.
Katelyn surveying the game...
Uncle Tim, Kate and I, Daddy and Uncle William after the game, which they lost but it was fun.
We sang at Tavistock's drive in 'evening service', where the people can listen to us and the evening's speaker through the radio - I did sing with them for the first song, but then Katelyn, who was starving, needed me, so I got to listen to the Heikoops sing for a change!
We went with Tim to a mini golf/fun place by Hamilton on the Monday before he left - here he and James are about to go into the batting cages to get practiced up for the baseball tournament in Alberta in a few weeks. :)
Timothy hitting away.
My James giving the ball a whack.

Diane and William joined us for mini golfing which was great fun.
Me and Timothy - brother and sister...
The day we took Tim to the airport, we went out to lunch at the Mandarin before he left. And this was the day before Nelly left for China, so we had a nice time together before saying goodbye to both of them.
Last picture with Katelyn before we see them in August. So thankful to have had a few family members around to see our little girl, and to spend some time with again. Family is so special.
Just me, on a walk. :) I found this baby sling in a thrift store for $6 which I promptly snapped up. :) It's been great thus far, and Katelyn loves to be close to me so we're both happy.
Last Monday, we had the neat honor of having Ashley and John Goushian and their little boy Joshua, and our friend Shena over for a quick lunch as they were on vacation from the states! We had such fun being together again! I hadn't seen any of them since our wedding, or before, so this was very special!.
Me and Ash - with Katelyn...
The Goushian family plus Shena. :)
And that night, we went with Mom, Dad and Sarah to see Oma Heikoop, so that she could at last, meet her newest great grandchild. :)
Katelyn's one month old picture with her little stuffed puppy. :) (I've had Katelyn wearing that often a bunch already Ash!!!)
Auntie Sarah - it's been so wonderful to have Sarah around for the past month - and now, only one day left with her before she returns to the Philippines for another year of midwifery studies. We'll miss her, but are so excited for these opportunities for her...love ya Sart!
It was so cute, I came upstairs when I heard Katelyn making some noise, and there she was 'playing' with a bunny in her cradle - her first playtime with a toy. :) She was whacking it around. :)
Another games night - Risk - always fun to have the siblings over. So that's a bunch of pictures for July. :)
