This boy is beyond happy. He is such a joy to have in our home. He absolutely loves Finley. Finley gets him laughing all the time. He chews on his hands all day long. He plays hard (the jumper is his new favorite) and falls asleep playing. He rolls all over the floor and enjoys being on his belly. He smiles the second he makes eye contact with anyone. Finley and Vera fight over who gets to hold him...and they both are constantly kissing him. Finleys favorite thing to do is run in and talk to Kade in "baby talk" high pitch voice, as soon as Kade's awake. He still is strictly breast fed (besides the candy finley gave him! :/) He is sleeping in 4 hour stretches still, sometimes 5.
Luke and I celebrated 8 years together! We spent our anniversary taking care of a sick kid (finley has strep) and Lukes care wouldn't start...:) But we were able to go out a few nights ago with just kade to dinner and shopping. I went to RS super saturday and made no sew felt bowties and hair bows for the kids! I am not crafty, but I am happy with the results and so is baby Kade :) We had our first Thanksgiving away from family this year. I slaved away in the kitchen and made Roasted Turkey breast, stuffing, sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, black berry pie and homemade pumpkin pie! It was a feast and it was GOOD...not to brag...Luke has been building a bunch of stuff while he had a few days off and the kids love to "help"....We then spent the weekend decorating for our first Christmas away from family (and last!). The kids are so excited and so am I. This will be our first year that we have our very own Christmas! Every year Luke and I have spent the night at his parents (or lived there)!
November 1, 2015 Kade received a beautiful blessing from Luke. He started to fuss the second they walked up there and Luke forgot to take the pacifier up there...Bishop started to adjust Kades neck (He is a chiropractor) and Kade was quiet the rest of the blessing. It was a great day!
Halloween was a lot of fun this year! The weather actually allowed us to go trick or treating! The kids loved it! Some friends of our had us over for soups and rolls before we all went out together and their cute 7 year old Maci created a "spook alley" and it was actually scary! haha her friend posed as a zombie at the end where you were supposed to stick your hand in her belly and feel her guts (spaghetti) and then her eyes popped open! haha Vera loved it...Finley, not so much. We also had fun at our ward party and I went as a pharmacist (I know, real creative) and Luke was Steve Nash (and people had no idea...the ym asked if he was from a movie and another guy asked if the suns were a real team still!!??)
