Kilbane Happenings

After receiving a phone call wednesday evening from a wonderful friend from Cincinnati - I discovered we were having visitors to St. Louis! My friend Sara and her son Alex came to St. Louis for the weekend and we had a TON of fun! They had us over to their hotel (Sara's husband was also here on business) to go swimming - which the kids loved. Today we went to the St. Louis Science Center to check out the Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit - which again was a big hit!

Well...I've been wanting to do it and I've joined a team (the Movin' Mama's) and set a goal! I am walking for March of Dimes in the March for Babies April 24, 2010 at Forest Park in St. Louis, MO. See the banner to the right to sponsor me - help me meet my personal fundraising goal of $150! I have been very fortunate to have healty babies at birth, but others are not so fortunate. Several friends of mine have given birth to preemie's and, thankfully, they are doing well and thriving. But March of Dimes is dedicated to helping mothers give birth to healthy babies. Its a cause I feel strongly about and hope that you will help me reach my goal and cheer me on as I walk the 5K! Click on banner to the right to sponsor me!

Lat week we ventured out to the St. Louis Science Center. Kaitlyn loves the Discovery Room there where they have all sorts of interactive things for toddlers and preschoolers to get in to! Kaitlyn's newest passion is for Dinosaurs! She loved playing with them and seeing the BIG one outside the DINO exhibit. We didn't get to see it, so I guess we'll be going back this week. Preschool this week was also an adventure - DINO WEEK! Thank goodness - she had a blast, but I was told to leave, so there are few pictures. She's becoming more and more independent every day! Brady in the ball pit! Kaitlyn building her marble tower...she loved this activity Kaitlyn "inspecting" her brother with the magnifying glass Kaitlyn in front of the BIIIIIIG dinosaur Kaitlyn playing with little dinosaurs Digging for dinosaurs Digging at preschool for dinosaurs Kaitlyn and Miss Dorie Kaitlyn and her preschool friend, Emma

Brady is officially too big for the baby bath tub...he was kicking and rolling himslef out of it - so I had to do the unthinkable and put him the BIG bathtub. He's sitting up by himself now, so he did a great job. He loved playing in the water and being able to kick and splash to his heart's desire! Pictures are below and a video was posted a few days ago. Enjoy!

Brady is now too big for the baby bath tub so we carefully sit him in the big tub. Kaitlyn was helping last night and sneezed (for real) and Brady thought it was hilarious.

We sure have had a busy few weeks! This past week we had our friends, Sara, Troy and McKenna over to celebrate Sara's birthday. Kaitlyn and Troy water painted and made "valentine" (vanilla with red food coloring) pudding...they loved that! Kailtyn and Brian also had fun playing in the snow - it just keeps on coming. And I made a special Valentine's Day dinner for my Valentine's - complete with the wine we brought back from Italy when we went in September 2008.

Kaitlyn asked to be videoed....here she is hamming it up!
