Cheese! This was the only semi-decent pic he would let me take on Sunday.

We colored eggs at our friends' house...

It was difficult to keep Kaden from spilling the dye everywhere, but I think he still had fun!

Today was a beautiful day and so Kaden finally got to play with his trucks outside! He begs us to play with them every time he passes them in the garage, and it is always too cold. He said was "making sidewalks" like the construction men outside our house every day. Here are some pics:

All this work makes him thirsty!
Bella enjoyed the sun too.

So one day I was surfing the internet and found this posting for a piano teaching position at a music school. I was feeling bored at home so I sent in my resume, not really thinking anything would happen since I am hugely pregnant and no one would hire someone and then give them 6 weeks off after only a couple months. Well I interviewed yesterday and got the job on the spot! It has really all fallen into place perfectly- for the time being they are just hiring substitute teachers and thus me being prego is not a problem. Then in the fall they will be opening a location pretty much across the street from our subdivision and by then I should be ready to start teaching my own private lessons evenings and Saturdays. It was really weird how convenient this turned out to be! I am excited to get out and about as well as bring in a little money...

At my appointment today I learned that my pregnancy is still completely normal, no pre-term labor in sight! It is so nice not having to worry about the baby coming early- I can actually enjoy it a little. Bed rest was pretty much the worst thing ever, and would not be fun with Kaden to worry about, so we are blessed! We also got a good look at the baby- he is getting big. We saw his cute nose, lips and chin- and still no question he's a boy...

Well we have been meaning to wean Kaden from his binkies for a while now, and so this weekend we decided to just go cold turkey. We gathered up all his binkies and took them to the store. Then we told him to pick out a toy that he wanted to "buy" using his binkies. He picked two little monster trucks and "paid" the cashier with his binkies. He asked a couple times for his bink at bed time, but when I reminded him that he gave them all to the cashier for his trucks he didn't fuss at all, and slept with the trucks the first night instead. So far so good- no binks for 2 nights (and last night he stayed in his own bed all night too!)

We are phasing out our @thekentfam.com emails because we use blogger instead of our old website. So Tyler and I will start using gmail accounts. If you had my old email and need the new (and I haven't already sent you an update email for some reason) then just contact me and I will send you the new info so you can update your address books.

Thanks!

So after numerous failed attempts at finding a maternity dress that wasn't fluorescent, had big patterns, or shaped like a tent, my Grandma made me two! Store bought things are sometimes hard to fit, and so these custom dresses were the perfect thing. They are so cute and comfy- I am really lucky to have such a great Grandma.
