Katie--5 Months

Beginning to eat cereal

Screeches, I mean, "sings" :)

Wants to Crawl

Learning to play with toys

Discovered her feet

Irresistible, kissable, chubby cheeks

Sucks on her two fingers

It's been a busy month!

Basketball Hall of Fame

On President's Day, we drove to the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. The birthplace of basketball. It was finally begining to feel like spring. The snow was melting, more daylight, and warmer weather.

Even though I'm not a sports fanatic, the museum was really fun. Lots of history, memorabilia, and basketball activities like playing a virtual game and being a sportscaster on TV.

We brought the elder missionaries with us. I almost didn't recognize them without their suits and name tags.

Someday our names will be here....

Jonathan C. Overson: famous for his exceptional skills while playing church ball every Thursday night.

Marissa A. Overson: recognized for perfect shots into the diaper pail.

Katie's First Slam Dunk

Good Times

We have awesome friends that we like to rock out with. Last Saturday, Will and Kim invited some of the LDS couples in our apartment complex over for another session of Rock Band. (The photos are from last month)

The EASY level is a true reflection of my musical ability.... Thanks for the Save, everyone!

Good memories

Rockin' Friends

Wii love you guys!

Happy President's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day

My Eternal Valentine. Isn't he lovely?

The treats I made for some friends

Smile for the Camera

Katie flashes plenty of smiles, but the second I pull out the camera, she stares at the strange contraption in my hand and a look of confusion crosses her face.

Katie thinks about offering me a smile....

...and I bribe her with these....

Until she finally forgets about the camera and sends me a little grin.

I can always count on Dad get her to smile!

Superbowl XLII

Will and Kim Worthen hosted the superbowl party. We had a blast. We love our friends!

Yankee Dental Convention

For the past three years, I've gone with Jonathan to the annual Yankee Dental Convention here in Boston. It is fun to visit the exhibits and watch Jonathan get excited about the latest dental technology. I liked the free samples of toothpaste, floss, and cavity-fighting gum. I often nodded my head in a thoughtful way when a salesman demonstrated something I was clueless about. Yup, as a dentist, one of those $300,000 gadgets would be helpful for my busy practice...

What does baseball have to do with dentistry? Who knows, but I confirmed that I throw like a girl. There was an exhibit that measured the speed of a baseball pitch. Similar to a batting cage. Jonathan threw at 54 mph. I throw at 23mph.

It was freezing cold outside. I thought my eyeballs had frozen while waiting for the bus. Jonathan thought my pout was funny, so he took this pic.
