Family & Friends!!!

We have a little surprise on the way! We are ecstatic and so excited to begin our family together. Currently, I am 11 weeks pregnant and I am feeling just fine. I have had some nausea, but as long as I eat, all is well. I have mostly been tired and eating everything in sight which is already a characteristic I posses....
The BIG DUE DATE: November 1, 2009

We have decided as of now not to find out the sex of our baby. We just hope the baby will be cooperative and not give away the surprise, but we'll see. As of now, all we have is the exciting news....so now it's just time to wait!
We are so excited and will keep you updated on what is to come!!!
Love you all so much, Andrew, Kathryn & Baby

Doggie Easter Egg Hunt....

Need I say more....my aunt Lisa let me know that her two puppies, Henry and George, had requested a Easter Egg Hunt and after speaking with my puppies, Oscar and Copper, those feelings were reciprocated. Thus, A DOGGIE EASTER EGG HUNT! It was a lot of fun. There were around 6 to 8 dogs hanging out and even more people. Copper and George figured out how to find eggs, break them open and eat the treats. George even figured you could eat the egg. Why not? The rest of the puppies had plenty of help from all of the people hanging out. Oscar followed new people ever few minutes, so they didn't know he had already received treats. Sneaky little guy.... Well, besides all the playing and treat eating, our dogs loved it and would love to be a part the hunt again next year!!! Thank you Lisa!!! LOVE YOU, O&C

Bridget's Bridal Shower!

Every time one of my friends has a baby shower or bridal shower or sends me a wedding invitation I have to step back and gasp. It just amazes me that they are all so grown up! Amazing!!! However, then I have to remind myself that I am married and I am a member of my ever growing family (our dogs are our children, but that's big enough for me). It is just crazy to see everyone so happy and so exciting to be a part of all of the celebrations.
So congratulations to my most recent friend, Bridget Maria Boggess! She was absolutely glowing at her Bridal Shower and I am so exciting for her upcoming nuptials!! Brad is one lucky guy and I am so excited for them! They have so much to look forward to! Believe us, marriage is wonderful....it may be hard later on, but we are enjoying every minute together right now!!!
Good luck to all my friends and I am looking forward to so many more Bridal Showers, Weddings and BABY Showers (still crazy)!!! Love you all, A&K

Scheduled for May 10, 2009!

My first friend to have a beautiful bubbly baby was always going to be Ellie Larson, but now it is official. Ellie Jane "Larson" Zavoral and her husband Tom Zavoral are having their first baby!!! We are all so excited for them and everything the future has in store for the three of them. The gender of the baby and the baby's size have all been guessed, so now we're just waiting for the bundle of love to come out.
On March 31st, I was able to attend a second baby shower in Ellie's honor hosted by her mother's friends. It was a lot of fun seeing all of my friends lovely mothers here in Kansas City while everyone else is away! Katie Sloman was a big surprise to see, coming all the way from San Diego to a blizzard zone here in Kansas. It was a fun shower were everyone shared "A piece of advice" for the future parents and we all chipped in for a Bug-A-Boo for Ellie and Tom. Ellie has let us all know that Bug-A-Boos are the way to go and the only stroller allowed on the Upper West Size in Manhattan! Love you Ellie & Tom! Congratulations! You two will make wonderful parents and I hope Andrew & I can take advice from you in the future! Love, A&K

Life in Kansas....

Life has been pretty low key for all of us for the past month, but I always love to give updates anyways!!! Maybe because I don't have much else going on these days....couldn't be!
Anyways, everyone is more than happy and more than excited about what is ahead for us (whatever it will be)! I have been working quite a bit at Coach and with my new little dog sitting business. Coach work is awesome and I have a great time making sales goals and hanging out with my girlfriends from work. They're so much fun. Dog sitting has been a blast, because the weather has been amazing and will hopefully only get better, besides the fact that it is supposed to snow on Saturday!??! Besides work, I've been working on some hope improvement projects and have created my first set of pillow cases and curtians. I'm pretty impressed with myself! I'm trying to work more on sewing projects, so please let me know if you have any fun simple ideas for practice. I'm always looking for ideas...
Andrew has been keeping busy working out, beginning volutary practices, playing chuck-it with Copper and wood workings....(golf season is just beginning however). He is really enjoying time at home, but is ready for things to get started with the Chiefs! Andrew's biggests news came last week when we purchased him a new car!!!! The biggest SUV you'll ever see, a Nissan Armada! Very exciting and will be great to have for road trips. He loves it and that's all that matters! He deserves it!
The puppies have been great and are loving lounging around the house and playing in the backyard. Copper with his athletic light weight frame has learning to jump our back fence, but has no problem coming back when he is called. I guess that is the plus side, I just feel sorry for the neighbors yard he is jumping into.
So all in all, life is good and we're ready for whatever is next!!! We love you all and hope all is well with our friends and family. You are always in our prayers! Love, A,K,O&C

To all my girlfriends! This was a trip for Kathryn! It was amazing and I was so excited to venture back to New York after not visiting for nearly 3 years!! So fun to see everyone happy and in love. Amazing how we have all planned it so well!!
Everyone looks amazing and everyone seems to be excelling at their amazing careers. I am so proud to be friends with such amazingly beautiful fantastic ladies! I love you all!
It was especially fun to be in town for restaurant week and OUR VERY FIRST BABY SHOWER!!! Congrats again Mr. & Mrs. Zavoral!!! I cannot wait to see pictures of your bundle of love come May!
Anyways, words cannot describe how much fun it was to see all my High School Bestest (minus a few of course)! Thank you all for an amazing time and I look forward to seeing you all soon!
Love, Kat
