they've finally met!!!

Please forgive my amateur photography skills, but this has got to be my favorite photo of them so far...and there are soooo many more to come!!!  Introducing....Kalena Noelle Clark!!!!  I just love how Kili looks very grow up here, quite proud of her one and only baby cousin!!   Sooooo exciting!!  (ah yes, warning...many, MANY exclamation marks to follow!  see?) 

Proud parents, Jen and Dak did good, don't you think??  She is just the prettiest little Sweetheart, so dainty like her Mama.

soooo precious.

 
 
 i remember this pink sleeper, oh so well!  Kili took some time to grow into it too!  It's difficult to think back she was once this tiny!

Kili:  Mama, is Kalena gonna grow big enough so she can play with me?

Mama:  Yes.

Kili:  (great BIG inhalation of excitement, sounds kinda like aaaAAAHHHH!!! and eyes get really big and eyebrows go up)

Kili:  Is she gonna get to come over to my house??

Mama:  Yes.

Kili:  (another...great BIG inhalation of excitement, sounds kinda like aaaAAAHHHH!!! and eyes get really big and eyebrows go up )  YAY!! YAY! YAY!!  Yippee!!  Yippee!!

I kid you not, she literally uses these words...lol!  Gotta love her enthusiasm, she surely knows how to rock it!

 
 
 

busy bee

I can't believe how busy the life of a three year old can be.  Surprisingly, here she is sitting, going through her "treasures" and Valentines from school.  Our days have been filled with playdates, going to paintshops, the park, birthday parties, dinner dates with Daddy, Kids Club at the gym, the library, cooking/baking with Mama (see loves watching Giada on the Food Network too btw!), putting on performances to her Chipmunk CD, and perfecting her penmanship to a tee!

Kili and Elsie loooove to dress up AND paint their faces with make up.  She insisted on going to Whole Foods with this lip gloss all over her face.  She later asked, "Mama, why is everyone looking at me?"  Uhhh...maybe it's because you have red dots all over your face, Sweetheart!!  lol!

Mama helped, but Kili did most of the work--grilled halibut in artichoke tomato broth,  photo does not do the meal justice....it was delish!

true to form....our girl STILL loves to pick flowers!!
