Hays, America!

It's been a while since I've posted. Our camera ran out of juice recently and needed to be re-charged and guess what....we couldn't find our camera charger. Uggh! We've recovered it now - we knew it was somewhere to be found - and all is good! So, needless to say, I've got a little blog catch up to do.

We can hardly believe that Kate will soon be 3 months old. She's getting so big! This past weekend for Labor Day we went to Hays, America (that's where Kyle was born) to see Kate's great grandma and great grandpa Keil, in addition to other extended fam! Hays is in Kansas and it's about a 6 1/2 hour drive. It's a small town and definitely has the small town charm! It was Kate's first road trip and while no doubt traveling with an infant presents new challenges, she did really well to only be 2 1/2 months old! We stopped a little more frequently and worked in a bottle and some stretching. She was a great traveling companion. Honestly, most of the way she slept contently in her car seat.

Our trip was spent just relaxing with family. This was the first time for most of the extended family to see Kate, so she was the center of everyone's attention. We also went to "the park" in Hays and Kate had a good time hanging out with her daddy in the baby carrier. We missed out on getting to see Great Grandma Murphy but we'll be heading back for Christmas with bells on! That'll be exciting!
