Kindergarten grad...now that it's summer

Proud of my baby...and a little teary too

To my badly neglected Blogger Friends,

Just popping in again to say hello and let everyone know that I'm sorry it's been a while....then again this sadly seems to be the new norm. Life keeps getting in the way of my down time! :) However, since I have a few quite moments tonight thought I would at least get a few pictures up from Kaden's kinder graduation. He had a lot of fun that day and although Matt thinks it's ridiculous that they play pomp and circumstance, I still got all teary. Hard to believe he's headed into first grade all ready. Guess that's what every mom says at this stage but it's so true!

In other news we are home from vacation and getting settled into routine. The difficulty of this is being compounded by Kensington walking and crawling up the stairs fast at any given time! So hard to get anything done when all eyes and hands have to be there for her at all times! Nap time has become very precious! Love all of these precious moments though and so thankful for them. I've promised a video of her walking so will try to get that up here soon. So until next time...whenever that may be.

Jesus loves you!

Still here...

Still enjoying our time in Del Rio...yes ENJOYING our time in Del Rio. We stay in until we pull out the plastic pool for splash time in the afternoon, just so thankful to have the time with family. Every moment is precious. Such a precious blessing to watch the bond form between my children and my parents. So thankful for the love that God gives us for one another. Right now...Dad and mom are at work, Kensington and Caleb are napping, and I'm enjoying listening to Matt read the 4th Chronicles of Narnia to Kaden. Nothing like seeing the light of imagination spark in Kaden's eyes as he retells the stories and I'm so blessed to watch his faith deepen as he sees the comparisions of Aslan and Jesus. Thank you Lord for the daily blessings, the intimate moments of grace and mercy, and Your love so incompariable.

speaking of birthdays...

Is it this normal to be this paranoid about turning 30! :) Wishing I could slow down the next 11 days!

Birthday and Giraffes?

Matt and his Lego man birthday cake! :)
Party time...arguing over who gets to eat what Lego man body part. :)
Feeding the giraffe

Love the look on Kensie's face here. :)
Mama and baby...amazing how big this baby is yet how small he looks.

So....it's been a while. We've had a lot of stretching that the Lord is doing in our lives and I'm holding on to knowing that no matter what comes His name is to be Praised. Thankful for His grace and mercy each and every day. That being said...it'll be a while again as we soon head down to Texas! So looking forward to time with family. But know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers! May God continue to guide and keep you!
