Happy 33 weeks and thanks to auntie Joycen and uncle Furcin!!!






On Kieran's 33rd week of life, he is sporting an adorable striped, fleece sleeper with bear ears that was an early Halloween gift from his great aunt Joyce and uncle Furcin... doesn't he look just too cute?! They also sent a sweet little puppy sleeper as well, which I am sure we will have a chance to model in another weekly photo-shoot ;) Thanks to Joyce for the clothes and the First Halloween book- Kieran really has enjoyed looking at the pictures!
This has been a crazy week as we had another round of Parent Teacher Conferences which kept us at school till 8 and Kieran at daycare way later than we would like. Thank you to Sheila for keeping Kieran while mommy and daddy were at work- we have the best sitter!
We are all looking forward to a fairly quiet Halloween weekend- with a lot less travel and a lot more peace, quiet and rest. We wish you all the same ;)

Baby's busy weekend













Kieran had a busy, busy weekend! Saturday we left early to St. Charles for a wedding. We stayed with Kieran's grandpa and Kimi at a rental apartment in the retirement community Kieran's great grandmother lives in. We spent some time visiting and then we all got ready for the wedding and headed off to downtown St. Charles. Rick's cosin Danny was married at the conservatory and it was an absoultuly beautiful wedding. Kieran was an angel and of course everyone loved him ;) He had never met any of the extended Rother family and it was so nice to finally introduce him! Rick did, however, take Kieran out mid-ceremony because he decided, once everyone got quiet, that it would be a good time to blow raspberries... not the best sound effect to have on one's wedding video ;)
The reception was a bit dodgy because it was getting late and Kieran didn't get much of an afternoon nap. But all in all, Kieran did fine and mommy and daddy both got to enjoy a delicious dinner followed by amazing cupcakes. We spent the night in St. Charles- Kieran's first overnight away from the house. Although he had a bit of a melt down in the carride back from the reception, once his head hit the pillows, he was out and he slept great even though we were in a strange place!
The next morning it was up and at 'em early again as we rushed home to Jefferson City so mommy could get ready for Lori's babyshower. Kieran also attended this event- just a little late because of his afternoon nap. He had a great time playing with the sherbert container from the punch and the empty bumbo box... good times were had by all!
It was a very fun weekend, but mommy, daddy and Kieran are looking forward to a quieter one coming up... one spent at home with very little travel and no rush!
