Back home from a great trip

We made it back home to Colorado on Father's Day. Kayle was a great traveler and slept through the entire flight both directions. When we got off the train in Denver to get our luggage, Brett was there waiting. I had tears in my eyes when he took Kayle and gave her a big hug and kiss. Kayle was wearing a "Special Delivery" shirt on addressed to "Daddy...Brett G." It was really cute and had other sayings on it like "Handle with care", "Fragile", "Caution", "Open slowly". Auntie Robin and cousin Grace helped design and make it for Brett. Too cute.
Well, our time in Kentucky went really fast. I'm not sure where all the days went or what we did. While Brett was there the first week we went to several ball games of the kids, took Brody and Anna to Mammouth Cave, did some shopping, had a bonfire, he went golfing at Kenny Perry's course, and went to a minor league baseball game with the new Hot Rod's team in Bowling Green.
The rest of our time there, Kayle and I went to A LOT more ball games. In fact, we were able to be there to see Grace and Anna win their league championship. It was a memorable day!! They both played great! I can't tell you how many times I made the comment "That's my niece!" :)
We also were able to see Brody play several times. He even was given the gameball at one game. And he is a little slugger himself. They are too cute at that age!
Kayle also got LOTS of attention from her cousins, Grace, Anna, and Brody. They were all so gentle and wonderful care takers with her. Grace enjoyed holding her whenever she could. Anna read books to her. Brody sang her to sleep. It was great to see their interactions. And Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Robin loved having their time with Kayle as well. Oh, and let's not forget that Kayle's Great- Grandma Melva was there the entire time as well. Grandma Melva was able to hold and feed Kayle also on several occassions.
Kayle also tasted her first Jimmy Diemer's ice cream while we were back there, ride on Bucky with me, swam in the pool, and took lots of golf cart rides. She continues to LOVE the outdoors.
Our aunt, uncle, and cousins from Tennessee came up one day also so we could see them. We celebrated Uncle Frank's 70th birthday.
The day we left, our family from Iowa all came down...so we did not get to see them. But we did Skype them so they could see Kayle while they were there.
In those 3 weeks we were in Kentucky, Kayle sure changed. She put on weight and looks bigger. She is smiling, cooing and talking to us, sleeping through the night, yelling and crying when she is mad, and has fat rolls on her legs now.
Since we have gotten home from KY, Kayle has gotten the coordination to keep her thumb or hand in her mouth, grasp objects, smile real big, and she even giggled today for the first time. We estimate that she weighs about 12 pounds now.
We will update more later.
