Buddies

It may be easy to watch this video and say to yourself, "Poor Baker." But he seems to always stick by Kyra's side through the abuse (and what you are seeing is minor). On the other hand, you will never, EVER, be seeing Kyra and Leon in the same shot. Easy to tell which cat has the brains!

New House

Wow, did I take grief for not posting a picture of the new house!! It didn't seem right to stand in the front yard and take a picture while another family still lives there, so below is the picture from the spec sheet from the real estate agent. If you want to see the inside.... well, you'll just have to come visit!!

We're Moving!

The Bordner's are moving!!!!!! After seven years in our first home, we've made the tough decision to move onward and upward! Really, Kyra Monster (and everything that comes with her) has somehow made the walls begin to close in on our small house. Here's the AWESOME part... we sold the house before it officially went on the market... on July 19.... Kelly's birthday! What a birthday gift! Oh yeah, and we BOUGHT a house on July 20.... oh yeah.... and we are moving in two weeks on August 4. We don't mess around with this house buying/moving thing. We are going to have a tough move... we are moving three whole blocks away!

Buckethead

"Quirky" personality..... or just plain "weird?" We'll let you decide. We'll also let you decide from which side of the family this trait comes!

Zoo

Kyra makes friends with a leopard at the St. Louis Zoo! This was by far her favorite animal exhibit. The other animals were just moderately interesting, but in their defense, it was 92 degrees, so they found Kyra (and anything else that was crazy enough to move in that heat) only moderately interesting, as well.

Summer 2008!

Summer 2008 is here! No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks! Kyra spends her time "ow-side" in the pool, at the park, and taking walks with Mom. She's proving to be quite a fish at swimming lessons, too. Kelly is experiencing the rough life by sleeping in and playing with Kyra all day long (it is well known August is just around the corner, so save your breath). Matt plays softball a couple of times a week, golfs when he can, and swims and plays with Kyra every chance he gets. Kyra is such a Daddy's girl!
