cute little girl....

I have to preface this post with a little side note...This is Katie (and Nikolai) Katie was a HUGE part of Nik's (and our family's) life for 3 years -- 2-3 days a week. She was his speech therapist, and did so much to help him speak (I know, hard to believe that he didn't talk for the 1st half of his life!) We just think the world of Katie and the amount of work, love, care she gave to Nikolai for so long. This picture was a year ago when he "graduated" from speech. It was bitter sweet, because we were so proud of the strides he made, but now we don't see her as much.

and now she has this beautiful baby girl of her own! here is sweet little Addie... she is almost 6 months old and poor little thing wasn't feeling too well this day. We took family pictures first, so she was pretty much done when it came to snapping a few of JUST her! Considering all that, she did very well and we managed to get a few good ones.

what a cute family!

Katie wasn't fond on this one on the left of Callie, but I just had to post it! 

I thought she looked like a pirate....hee hee hee :)

thanks for Coming Eckoffs. Can't wait to see you again soon!
