wow. 8 months.

Well apparently I am horrible at keeping up with this blog. But after seeing my sister's, I felt like a total slacker, so I had to start up again :)
I'll try to give you a brief update on our lives over the past few months!!
    Over the summer we had our visit with Breanna, we had a great time, and got to do some traveling with her. Mat's Dad, and Pam came to visit us for a few days while Breanna was here, so we all got to go see some sights in Germany together. We went to Neuschweinstein castle, the Linderhoff, and stayed at Edelweiss resort. It was a really nice trip. KayLeigh is old enough now that she loved having her older sister here, and they played really well together all summer, it was sad as always to see her go, and even more so now that Kay misses her too :( But we've only got about a year and a half left here, and hopefully we'll be moving back to the states after this so we will be closer to family! 
Mat and I found out we were expecting again in March, and we've been busy getting ready for another baby girl! We've decided to name her Raigan DeLois, or as KayLeigh calls her "baby ringin" lol. she seems to understand what's going on a little bit, she gives my belly hugs, and tries to share her snacks with "ringin" I think she'll adjust to her fairly quickly, she loves helping mommy out, and playing with her baby dolls, so hopefully things will go smoothly!! Our due date is creeping up on us very quickly this time, it seems like I was waiting forever for KayLeigh, and this pregnancy is just flying by! 
         I'm delivering at a different hospital this time, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. My doctor speaks wonderful english and makes Mat and I feel very comfortable. The hospital staff are all very nice so far, and I'm looking forward to delivering there. 

We had Kay's second birthday party in August with her friend Brody, I think they had a blast! We had a bouncy house for the kids, an elmo cake for KayLeigh, and they both got lots of presents and attention. I can't believe how fast she is growing up!  It seems like she learns something new everyday! at two KayLeigh is now...

•  Singing the abc's (and you can almost understand all of it!)
• Singing the itsy bitsy spider, with hand motions
• counting to 5 (sometimes higher, with the help of sesame street songs)
• Identifying a ton of animals and their noises, Mat taught her what a wolf says not too long ago :)
• understanding the concept of doing something at a later time (after nap, in the morning)
• has a very strong opinion on what she wants to wear everyday (usually involves a tutu)
• she is learning her colors
• telling us what she wants to do that day 
• she loves going "sopping" (shopping)
• seems to have an even better memory than mat and I lol
• Has a sense of humor, she thinks it's hilarious to tell us that cows say "baaaa"

She is doing so much everyday, it's hard to keep up! she can start belgian preschool in February and will be going for half days, where she will hopefully make lots of little friends :)
 We're  planning on doing the trunk or treat on base again this year, and have ordered lots of spooky decorations for the car! Kay is going to be a spider, she picked it out!  
We usually have more pictures, but our camera that Mat bought me last year decided to break :( so we've only had our phones for a while now. we're going to try and get a nice one before Raigan is born, so we can have some real pictures of her, not just phone pics lol. 

The past few months have really flown by, and I expect the next to do the same, especially after Raigan arrives! I'll try to post a blog at least once a month to keep everyone a little more up to date :) Love you all!
