Kathleen has changed quite a bit since the last update. She keeps Mom and Dad busy by crawling everywhere and she has learned several words and several more signs. She amazes us with her comprehension. Katie traveled the country this past summer and fall, visiting Oklahoma, Illinois, Ohio, and Maine by car. She even made a special trip to The Weather Channel!

Metamorphosis

At some point, hopefully soon, we will paste together our weekly pictures of Elaine as she grew with Kathleen.
