Trip to the Zoo

Two weeks ago, we took a day off for some family time. After getting Kaylee's 6 month photos done, we headed to Bloomington to visit Miller Park Zoo. Its a small little zoo and Kaylee loves spending time outdoors.Given her short attention span, we thought it would be a nice little trip.

Out of all the animals there - monkeys, tiger, pandas - she loved the goats in the children's petting zoo. Go figure.

We also stopped by and saw baby Caroline on our way home. What a doll!

The family has been singing a new tune for the past week.

Welcome Baby Caroline!

A daily dose of cute....everyday

You won't necessarily be finding that here, but at my sister's new blog. I've been trying to talk her into joining the blogging world for quite some time. Now that Jackson is here..and...well, you just can't stop taking pictures of cute babies. So, she's going to try to share with us a daily picture or news of life at the Tautkus house. So stop by and say hi!


Melissa shared this photo of Jackson and his quilt I made him...he's quite the snuggler!

6 lb 12 oz Baby Boy

Just call me Auntie Kelly...late this afternoon Jackson David made his way into the world. And only after about 2 hours of labor! My sister is so lucky! Congrats to Melissa and Erik!

I'll be making my way to Bloomington Thursday morning to see the little cutie before the big ice storm hits. I'll be back with photos.......but until then, here's one from Grandma C.

One Month To Go

No, not Christmas, you sillies.......one month until my little nephew is due!

We're anxiously awaiting Jackson's arrival. In fact, the baby showers were just over a month ago and I've been meaning to get some photos up...


I'll help you aunt Melissa!


Don't mess with the shower games master

I've got a secret!

Earlier this morning I was on an all important three-way call with my two sisters (and Erik too). Melissa and Erik were on their way home from the doctor. Stacy and I now know whether we're getting a niece or nephew this December..........but I can't tell anyone yet! Guesses anyone? I'll share the news as soon as I get the o.k.
