Kingrea Update

We have not written in forever!! Here is what is going on in our little life:

• Reese is 6-1/2 months and crawling all around the house! She is the happiest baby and eating like a little piggie!
• Charlie continues to light up our world with made up songs and his laughter that is contagious!
• Charlie just turned 2!! On August 13th and we are having a small little birthday party for him this Saturday at the Shiver Shack Snoballs and Water Pad (at the mandeville Trailhead.) He sings the whole happy birthday song and then blows out candles in the air (he is gearing up!)
• We went to Gulf Shores for a week August 4th-9th and had a wonderful time EXCEPT that we had a VERY traumatic ER visit! Charlie busted his lip badly and had to be put under for the doctor to stitch up his lip. Craig and I were a WRECK but Charlie stayed so strong! We were so afraid he would have truly messed up teeth and mouth BUT honestly all is great. We loved his doctor. He has healed well and he will have a cool scar to show for it (at least this is what Daddy Craig has made Mommy Kristin believe)
• The beach was very different from years past, very busy, Reese hated it except for the last day, and Charlie couldn't be in the Sun for 3 days. Despite that, it truly was a great time to spend with the Kingrea Family!
• We are in the process of getting granite installed (finally changing out of 70's tiled counters) it is looking great!  We have had quite a few set backs and hope to have it complete by tomorrow. I have been doing dishes and cleaning bottles in the Laundry room sink (but I can't complain- could  be worse right!)
• Charlie is now in a big boy bed and is so proud of it! It has been about 2 months now. He started climbing/falling out of his crib so we had to bite the bullet. We had many sleepless nights of him waking up and waking into our room. We put a gate up in front of his door and he now stays in his room and sleeps through the night (well most nights =)
• Charlie wakes up screaming "Good Morning Sunshine" that is our wake up call (no need for alarms anymore.) His first question when we get to his room is "Where is Reesie at?"
• We are excited about Football Season and Craig has Charlie saying "WhoDat" and "Go Tigers!" We will be training for a half marathon soon - The Jazz in N.O.- to whip this mama back into shape!
• Charlie and Lily Reese light up when they interact and it is the sweetest thing ever for Craig and I to watch.
• Oh and AUNT MOLLY IS PREGNANT!!! She is 10 weeks! Please keep Molly, Clay and baby Koenig in your prayers!    

Lots of information but we wanted to share! I will post beach pics, birthday pics, etc soon!  Much Love to all our Friends and Family who follow us!  XO- Kristin and Craig
