On October 14th, 2011, God blessed our family with a new beautiful baby girl! Everything went well and 7 pounds 11 ounces of new beauty came into our lives! We are now a proud, happy, loving family of four!!! We could not be more pleased (and surprised...we both thought it was a boy)!
Isabelle is adjusting and loves to check in on "Baby Sisser" constantly. She is definitely a little rough and a little jealous, but we're learning. Adelaide is fitting in as perfect second child and we cannot wait for what is to come. We all feel so very blessed to have another beautiful baby girl in our lives!!!
Love, Andrew & Kathryn
PS - Sadly most of our photographs were taken with our cell phones. Our poor second child....so more to be added shortly.
On Tuesday, our playgroup ventured to Vectuccio's Farm right here in Gilbert/Mesa. It was a fantastic day with a million things to do and Isabelle took full advantage. I'm pretty sure she could have done this solo, but it was a "nice to have" an adult to pick her up and put her in some of the activities.
Isabelle lead the show and I trailed behind....literally, we walked in and she ran off through the crowd. A little concerning, but I am very happy she is so independent. First Isabelle rode the train around the whole park with quite a bit of poise for a 1 year old, then the bounce house, then we knocked over some fake birds with bean bags, checked out ducks, goats, cows, pigs & chickens, then another more frightening trampoline that Isabelle only gave a few moments, then a hay maze and finally we looked at the corn maze but decided it was a no go.....phew, we did everything and 2 hours later Isabelle cried when I told her I had to leave. I was exhausted. Yes, she had a full on fit, but it was worth it.
We really enjoy fall here and it is so much fun to have all kinds of outdoor activities to participate in because of the nice weather. What to do next to waste time before baby arrives?!?!?!
Thank you again for a fantastic day Isabelle, it was a blast!!!
Love, Mommy
Very Serious before the ride began....all business
OH MY GOSH, THAT WAS AWESOME...upon return from the ride
The Hay Maze successfully completed in and out all by herself

This past Saturday, we celebrating our good friend, Erin & Paul Stachura's, new baby who will be coming into the world this December! Sally, Laura & I wanted to do something special for our dear friend Erin during this amazing part of her life. We had a lovely day of conversation, drinks, treats, games, fun & presents. Erin makes a beautifully glowing pregnant woman and we are all so excited to see her as a mother.
We decorated oneies & guessed Baby Stachura's gender, birth date & time, weight & height. Everyone drank Mimosas, ate yummy burritos, muffins, fruit salad & cupcakes. We all gave advice and asked about how Erin was doing and feeling. All in all, it was the perfect day of catching up and enjoying company. We miss Erin so much and cannot wait to meet Baby Stachura. Erin & Paul will make wonderful parents and we are so excited for the life they have ahead of them!
Congratulations to you both & we love you dearly! Come back as soon as possible and bring that baby!!!!
Love & GOOD LUCK, Kat, Laura & Sally

Isabelle Jane is the light of our lives! She is our everything and with a the fast approaching date of our new baby, Andrew & I have begun to really appreciate how wonderful & amazing Isabelle has become. This is not to say that we haven't always felt this way, it has just become so apparent now that we know our attention will soon be divided between two little babies.
Honestly, I have begun to feel bad that I will soon be devoting a large amount of my attention to our new baby instead of being able to give it all to Isabelle. Isabelle means the world to us and I have no idea how I could ever feel this way about another baby, but I know as soon as I meet this next one, I will understand.
Isabelle is everything to us. She is spunky, energetic, dramatic, affectionate, smart, stubborn & LOVES TO SLEEP. I know everything my little girl wants: a "Mil" (Milk) as soon as she wakes up, second breakfast everyday, potty breaks at every store & during every meal, "Nigh Nigh" with a book, binkie, blanky & bunny, tons of hugs and kisses to everyone, no sharing, always wants a "treat" or "happy", always game for a movie. loves to "Pay" (Play) with her best buddies Niko & Layna, always changing, always learning, always challenging us....but most importantly Isabelle Jane is always good for a big hug or kiss or cuddle with mommy & daddy. I love this little girl. Isabelle is better than any child I could have imagined. She is the perfect representation of Andrew & I (with all of our stubborness).
We just love her to pieces and I hope with the lack of sleep that we will soon be coming our way and loss of time for specifically Isabelle....I just hope she knows that she means the world to us. She is the most perfect, most wonderful baby girl we could have ever asked for. Thank you God.
We love you Miss Isabelle Jane. Please always remember no matter what you do we will LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER. To the Moon & Back.
Love, Mommy & Daddy
