2015/2016 School Year

I can't believe it.  The kids are getting so big!  Roderick has started Kindergarten with Mrs. Williams and McKenna is in Pre-K with Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs. Rhodes.  Kyler is in his second year at the Co Op tot class with Ms. Melissa.  Time, please please slow down. I beg you.

Rainbow Baby Aiden Sean

On June 2nd, we welcomed with love, cousin Aiden Sean McKenna to our crazy, loud, slightly obsessive, kind of impulsive but oh SO loving family.

Dearest Aiden Sean,

Ohhhh hey there little guy!!! We are absolutely crazy in love with all 6 lbs 11 oz of you.  The journey getting here was a tough one and we know just how blessed we are to share this world with you.  Aiden, you have the most amazing parents, 2 wonderful big (and slightly rough) sisters, an angel sister watching from above, OUTSTANDING neighbors one house over to the right, oh and one to your left, oh and one up the street (you get the picture) and a slew of people that love EVERYTHING about you.  Welcome to the family little man.  You will never know just how blessed we feel to have you here.  In the real world, a beautiful and bright rainbow follows a storm.  That rainbow is you.  We love you Aiden Sean. 

Love always,
Auntie Amy

"Something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of darkness and clouds.  Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope."  

And just like that, 

he fits right in

I even remembered my login

I know, its been ages.

I hope I haven't lost ALL of my 3 readers while I have taken this hiatus from blogging.  Its not like our lives haven't been full of blog worthy posts.  It is actually quite the opposite. Our summer has been so full of adventure that I literally don't have the time to play catch up.  So as we enjoy our Friday family movie night watching Tangled for the 100th time, I am hoping to scratch the surface of the last few months.  Because if I don't multi task right now, it may not happen.  I know you feel me.

We had our first call from the school and our first stitches. 

It was scary but WE made it.
