News Report

There hasn't been any earth shattering news around here lately, but Katherine wants to share a report of our latest happenings with you:

The new Batman movie is being shot in Pittsburgh. There are different scenes all over town, and in the background below you can see we got to witness some of the filming prep. It's hard to tell in the picture, but they filled the street and many buildings on it with fake snow. We also got a quick glimpse of the Batmobile. It's been fun and exciting to see glimpses of the filming process, although sometimes it's a nuisance to deal with added traffic and detours.

Katherine and Buttercup get along quite well, and she truly feels like part of our family now. Here you can see them playing:

Katherine is usually quite gentle with Kitty, but we obviously never leave them to "play" unattended and are careful to make sure they get along. It's good practice for mediating future sibling bantering (in a few years).

This weekend we got to go out to Uncle Dante's concert at the Cheesecake Caffe in Irwin, PA. We enjoyed some sweet treats and rocked out with Aunt Kari and Luke.

Uncle Dave's Mom, "Gran Koes" also has been visiting with Andrew and Alex's cousin Ryan. We've enjoyed seeing all the boys play together, and it's always a joy to spend time with extended family.

Katherine's food adventures have continued. She still only has rice cereal every few evenings, but we've started to sometimes add cinnamon to it. She gets a HUGE smile on her face when she tries, and loves the adventure overall. Unfortunately we haven't snapped any new pictures of her at mealtime, but we certainly will soon!

We've also been enjoying lovely weather for the last couple weeks. We haven't had our air conditioning on for over a week, and Mommy and Daddy have been training a lot for their half marathon. Hopefully the great weather will continue for our vacation in Ocean City, NJ next week!!! We're counting down the hours (right now about 113) until we leave for vacation, but still trying to savor every moment of our blessed life!
