Just some pics

Looking at my lion.

I'm not feeling good.

Look what Max drug out of the woods.

Deacon Ben

I know a few of you would have liked to see Ben get ordained as a deacon but couldn't make it. I wasn't close enough for a picture during the service so I caught up with Ben afterward, looking quite professional. It was a wonderful service so if you can possibly make it to his ordination into the priesthood, I would highly recommend it. It will take place on June 5th, 2009.

Deacon Ben Hasse

Growing quickly...

I have fun taking a few pictures each day. Kaija has been smiling so much more the last couple weeks. She is going up too quickly but it's wonderful to watch her grow. Here's a few of our new ones.

Here's looking at you kid.

Pluuuuu... on you, I don't want to go to sleep.

Ready for the monster mash.

Smiles for everyone.

Exercizing the legs and loving it.

Rid'em little doggy. Max doesn't mind as long as he can have my lap.

Here's for Tyler, who is out east and forgot pictures. This is us just chilling out while you are gone.

Fall Photo Shoot

Grandma Campbell decided that she wanted to be Anne Geddes for the day, so we had Kaija jump through the photo shoot hoops again. They turned out pretty cute.

Amist our make shift pumpkin patch.

Get me out of here.

I don't know if this is any better.

IThis might not be too bad.

NOPE, I was wrong, GET ME OUT OF HERE!

Technology Breakdown

Sorry that it's been a while since I last posted. The dying of my laptop's screen made me hook it up to a desk top monitor last week. I want to make a photo album of her first year, one picture a day. I am going to catch you up on some of our simple times. It just took me a bit to find time to catch up downloading all my pictures. I am going to show you a picture of the day starting September 11th. September 11th - It's amazing how sad a pretty little girl can look.
September 12th - The girls winding down for the evening.
September 13th - Shopping trip to Walmart with grandma Campbell.
September 14th - Kaija was the center piece during dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Hill's house. She was a much prettier center piece than any flower could be.

September 15th - Uhhh, bath time again. Kaija wasn't a big fan of bath time but is getting more used to it now.
September 16th - One of the last (only) nice days. This is the dress that I pick out the day we found out that we were going to have a little girl.
September 18th = Kaija loves the little fish tank in her crib. It plays the soothing "Canon in D."
September 19th - Out for a walk in her pretty dress, on another nice day.
Septmeber 20th - Dad didn't get to bring a little girl to one of his football games but she didn't make it in time for the end of the season party.
September 21 - Just mellowing down.
September 22nd - Dad, I am tired of these push ups. I think we may be pushing it on the exercizing routine. J/K Tyler goofing around during tummy time.
September 23rd - Time for a nice walk along Piers Gorge. September 25th - Shhh!
September 27th - Snoozing through our time at an apple farm in Norway.

September 28th - Baptism with Father Joe and our God parents, Danielle and Matt Fleming.

September 29th - Snooze time at Grandma Campbell's.

September 30th - Yah, bath time is over. This Polar bear gown is so cozy and warm.
October 1st - Trying to get that last burp out.
October 2nd - She reminds me of a little old man from the 1800s with her little night cap.

October 3rd - Just Kaija :)
October 4th - "Wow, look at all the crafts." Kaija enjoyed her outing at Cranberry Festival in Eagle River, WI. I love this warm little fleece outfit.
October 5th - Opps, mom forgot to take a picture because she went to a Packer game with Heidi.
October 6th - She's getting so big, so fast. I think she looks a little more like me in this picture.
October 7th - Max was a little bummed the he wasn't aloud on my lap and settled for next to us.

Grandma's show and tell

We stopped by ManorCare today to visit Great-Grandma Broeders and visited Grandma Hill along the way. Grandma Hill is one of the Assistant Directors of Nursing and was very proud to show her off. We all get a kick out of the different faces that Kaija makes.

Strong as daddy!

Here is Kaija stretching and exercising. She really wants to hold her head up, but can't keep it up long yet. She also scooted a few inches the other day. If she keeps going this way, she may crawl early.
