Meeting the Family

Great Grandma Spurlin & Cate

This week Cate was able to meet several family members. Saturday was our first outing. She went to McAlister's for lunch. This is daddy's favorite place to eat lunch. Don't worry she didn't have any sweet tea! Then we went to introduce her to Great Grandma & Grandpa Spurlin. They couldn't believe the length of her legs. While there Great Aunt Carrie made a visit too.

Cousin Wyatt & Cate. He is 5 months older

Sunday was a really big day to visit. We should have charged $5 per person and started working on her college fund. Great Uncle Calvin & Aunt Ullene came by, then Grammie & Papa with Great Uncle Jeff & Aunt Heidi. Then Uncle Jason & Aunt Leslie brought cousin Wyatt for a visit. It won't be long before the two of them cause trouble in Starlight. Papa is already talking of fishing with both of them. Cate says she needs a pink diamond encrusted fishing pole. After they left we went for our first walk as a family. This brought out several neighbors. Later in the evening The Perez & Fields Familes visited. These are our neighbors so I went ahead & apologized for the years to come when I'll be yelling, "Catherine Ann Get Back In Here."

Father's Love

This week we also had our first family photos taken. The picture above is a teaser the best is yet to come. The photographer, Julie Brock of http://www.athomephotography.net/ took these at our house. This one was taken in our kitchen. We couldn't get Cate to curl up in a ball like most of the babies you see. She always wanted her leg stuck out. We have nicknamed those legs "chicken legs." Maybe one day they will be super model or ballerina legs. If you would like to see the other proofs please let me know,

Cate had her two week check-up and now weighs 7lb 2 oz. We are above birth weight and eating like a champ. You can definitely see it in her cheeks. Yesterday Cate took her first ride to Starlight to visit Great Grandpa Lang. She is one lucky little girl to have four great grandparents who love her so much. While there Great Uncle Gary stopped by. So as you see it was a big week of meeting the family. There are so many more to meet and Cate can't wait.
