Ellie has been getting in some practice for baby Kate … She uses her Cinderella doll to practice putting on diapers …

And of course uses wipes to wipe her …
Banty came to visit for a couple of days … helped Mommy get lots done … She made several casseroles and put them in the freezer for us … That will be be SO nice when baby Kate arrives … She also brought a surprise for Ellie … her best friend ! Cousin Emmy !! These two were SO excited to see each other ! They play so good together ! Thank you Brad and Brandy for sharing Emmy with us for a couple of days !! And thank you Banty for all you help !!
Everybody is putting there guess in … I plan to have a little something for whoever gets closest without going over :)

Summer school turned out to be a great experience for Ellie, and we are so thankful for that ! She really enjoyed her teacher Ms Emily … She is ready to start her fall school year !
With our first pregnancy we knew exactly which names we wanted to use … boy or girl … Elizabeth Grace and Benjamin Owen … But this time it was much different … we have been in a long debate over this sweet girls name …. we still had our original pick if she has turned out to be a boy … but it wasn’t until recently we finally decided on Katelyn Jane …. Her Daddy picked Katelyn and I picked Jane … after her Banty … we are very excited about Miss Katelyn Jane … can’t wait to meet her …
just in case your curious … the other name ideas we had were .. Caroline, call her Cara, Bethany, (to much like Elizabeth), and Anna, but her daddy has LOVED the name Katelyn from the beginning …
I will take some pictures of her room soon …
Putting the stuffing in her bear …
Giving her a big hug to make sure she is soft enough …
