Kate says "Happy New Year!!"

We realize this is a little late., but we hope this note finds everyone well! We've been busy here in Colorado. Miss Kate is a VERY active 13 month old and she keeps us running. She took her first steps in Iowa the day before Thanksgiving and was practically running by Christmas day. She is dying to talk and is able to say 6 words now...with her limited vocabulary she still has no problem communmicating her strong opinions. :-) She is so much fun now and we can't believe that a year has already passed. Here are some pictures of the last few months.

We said goodbye to Savannah the first weekend in December. We were happy to see Becky and her daughter Anna. Kate and Anna had fun playing together. It was hard to leave for the last time, but we are so glad to have Mom, Dad, and Grandmama close by. They moved to Colorado just before Christmas. They live just a mile from our house!

We spent Christmas at our house with the whole family. Hill, Susie, and Alden came from Park City (they are moving to Colorado in April) and Grandpa Dave came from Iowa. Kate had a blast playing with her cousins and enjoying her loot from Santa.

We celebrated Kate's 1st birthday with a party at at Children's gym. She invited 8 of her pals to come play. She wasn't so sure about the birthday cake. She has since learned to like sweets. :-)

Enjoying her first sledding experience with Dad and Grandpa Dave!

We will keep you posted! Happy 2008 to everyone!

Love,

Jen, Seth, and Kate
