Katie...

Where do I begin. Katie is... scary. I need to be honest. She terrifies me. She terrifies Doug. She terrifies Trent. There was one time that Doug rolled a watermellon off of the counter and onto the floor just to avoid her scowl. I'm not even making that up, he did it on purpose. Trent and I ran. I don't know how Doug survived. I think she made him pick it all up, with his mouth. And it was a 15 pound watermellon. We didn't see Doug for two weeks after that.

But secretly, this power comes in handy. You see, before Katie came along we had no way to sneak our food into movie theaters. I know, random, but stay with me. At first her scowl was enough to make the theater employees avoid us. But we quickly realized this would not last for long. That's when Katie came up with this wonderful idea.

I know you won't believe me, but this photo was taken long before Addaly. That bump is all food to be snuck into the theater. Thanks Katie.

Something most people don't know about Katie is that she is terribly allergic to

metal. It doesn't matter if it's gold, silver, copper, iron, or steel. Whatever, if it is metal she has a terrible allergic reaction. It's really bizarre to see, but when she comes in contact with metal her face kind of twitches and her cheeks and lips get really tight. It almost looks like she is smiling, but it's much worse. It's not painful... at least not for her. For others it can cause some minor discomfort. Here, this should explain. The best thing about Katie is that she can take a joke. She gives them pretty well, too. Most of the time she stops after making us cry, but she never apologizes. Katie is really awesome and she's a wonderful mother to Addaly. Here is a good photo, I hope it makes up for the others. It's Addaly, Katie, and Herbert. Herbert is the giraffe's name in case you are confused Trent.
