G-Dad Look at me!!

This was the 1st weekend that there were no scheduled home basketball games...so Kate took it easy on Saturday with Mom and Dad working around the house. We tore into the master bathroom and finished taking off all the wallpaper. We primed the walls and are now ready for paint. Saturday night we met G-Mom and G-Dad, Uncle Justin, Uncle David, Aunt Megan and cousin Cyrus in Kokomo for dinner. It was great to see everyone to catch up during dinner and we did a very small amount of shopping afterwards!ha..

Dinner Time-always Fun!

I love dinner time!

Mom there is no more.

Lick the bowl on both sides!!ha.

We are finding more and more with Kate that she loves to eat and take a bath! She likes green beans, peas and learning to like carrots. She wears them all on her face and shirt very well. Mom and Dad are quickly learning that when nothing else works, put her in the tub. Playing in the water and splashing is the cure all for any problem in the Briscoe house. She is getting strong and rolling over on her own-no crawling yet...stay tuned!!

Grace Game and Visit from Family!

Lots of fun at the game!

Kate welcomed a lot of family up to Winona Lake to visit for the weekend. Grandpa and Granma Cole, Aunt Abbie and Uncle David, Aunt Megan and cousin Cyrus all came up from Indy on Saturday for the basketball game- (Grace beat Goshen). It was fun to see Cousin Cyrus and Kate together again-Cyrus likes to sleep...but is getting better each day-he soon will pass Kate and be the big protective cousin that she needs! We also had Uncle Doug & Aunt Connie come over for the weekend from Ellwood City, PA! We had a great time staying in on Friday night and Saturday night catching up with wonderful fellowship time. Kate received a really nice RED winter jacket from Uncle Doug and Aunt Connie-Dad wants Grace Lancers put on it-Mom says NO!Ha.. It was great that everyone had the chance to be together on Saturday for the game. Uncle Doug and Aunt Connie headed back to Western PA Sunday morning. We thank all the family for coming up to visit!! We love you all!!


Kate is feeling better-her first "real" cold has been a long process and is getting better-she did pass it along as both mom and dad are feeling the affects. Say a prayer that the cough and runny nose leave soon!

6 Month Check Up

My hand is as good as the food mom and dad feed me!

Good doctor visit

I love carrots...not so much!

Kate had her 6 month check up this past week and it was another great visit! She has slowed a lot in the weight department as she checked in at a slim 15 lbs. 9 oz. She dropped from the 90th percentile to the 45th percentile. The doctor said all looked well and Kate is in good health. We thank God for another excellent well-baby visit. Just after the 6 month visit, mom took her to get her next round of shots and then somewhere along the way, either at Church or MOPS, Kate picked up a bug and is now officially "sick". Let us tell you-it is NO fun! Nighttime is the hardest because she is so congested!

Happy New Year 2008!

Playing New Year's Day with my new toys!

Just let me sleep!!

Snowed In-January 1st

Daddy had fun shoveling the driveway!

Well Kate rang in the new year...sleeping! We also woke up to lots of snow! We spent New Year's Day at home watching football and taking it easy. Mom made great food and we stayed in doors as we were hit with 8 inches of snow and ice. Kate goes to the doctor for her 6 month check up today...stay tuned for the weigh in!! Happy New Year!!

We were blessed the weekend before New Years to have Jeff Miller and Sid Sawyer come visit from the Falkville, AL Church of God. It was great to have the guys here and we had a wonderful time of fellowship together. We spent Saturday showing them around Winona Lake and then after church on Sunday they headed back to warmer weather! We thank both of these great men for taking time out of their schedule to come and visit. We love you guys!
