10 weeks

Hello Friends!

I thought I would get in a quick update while Kylee is taking a nap. I unfortunatly have to go back to work on Monday and Kylee to daycare. It will be a hard week I imagine, but it has to be done. These are some pictures we had my cousin Shannon take with Kylee and Eric at the Fire Station. They turned out so good, thank you to her so much for making this special keepsake for Eric and Kylee. I just had to post the other 2 photos because she has been smiling and cooing so much more lately, and I just happened to catch one of the smiles on camera. She has been so much fun these last few weeks, responding to our voices and showing she is happy. As of monday Kylee was 13lbs 9oz and 23.5 in long, so she is growing well and everything looked good for her two month checkup. I hope this finds you and your families well, talk with you soon!

Love, Eric, Jill, Kylee and Diesel

Happy Spring!

Ok, so I know that I was going to keep up on this, and I haven't written since Sept 14th...

Alot has happened since we've talked...

Kylee Marie VanEps is here!

She was born April 9th

8lbs 1.2 oz and 21.5 in long.

~She is already about 10.5 lbs now!

We sure do love having her here, she is such a great addition to our family.

With our new addition, we have lost one in our family. On April 26th, we had to put Zoe Bell down, after going through 50 days of battling lymphoma. We miss her dearly, but we will never forget her. She was a great friend to both of us, and more recently to our Diesel. He is quite confused as to why she is gone, but he has welcomed the extra attention we have been giving him.

Diesel loves his new little sister Kylee. He watches her every move, plays with his toys right by her, and loves to find bottles and pacifiers left laying around...

As for my maternity leave~ it is going too fast!!! I will be home until June 21st, but let's not start counting down yet... I am having so much fun home with Kylee and Diesel, getting some things done, but mostly just hanging out waiting for Daddy to come home :)

I promise I will post more often, with cute pictures of our family!

I hope this finds you well, see you later!

Love,

Eric, Jill, Kylee and Diesel
