To Jeremy & Ti

These past two days have been great for my side of the family. It's the first time in a little while that we have all been home together at the same time. Today is my sister's birthday so we all went to Pizza Factory for dinner. When the waitress brought the bill she said, "Your tip has been taken care of and here is your bill." When we opened the bill this is what it said:

To the Family,
My buddy and I were passing through and happened to notice you. We just want to wish you a happy holiday season and a Merry Christmas.
Your table neighbors,
Jeremy & Ti
Merry Christmas

We think we know which table neighbors they were, but we really didn't know who they were. Our bill was large for just one person to pay and we are still overwhelmed by this person's generosity. We wished we could have said thank you personally, but they left before we even knew what was going on. We will each be looking for a way to pay it forward sometime during this holiday season. Thank you for sparking the spirit of giving in each of our hearts at this special time of year.

Ultrasound Results

It's another GIRL!!! Can you believe it? All the cousins on both sides of the family are girls. We are really excited. Kendi has known that it was a sister the whole time.

She had her hand in front of her face the whole time. I wanted to see if she looked at all like Kendi because you can really tell that it was Kendi from her ultrasound photo's. I honestly think the 2D's were easier to make out. It was hard because we had such an amazing ultrasound with Kendi we were expecting the same experience, but we'll take what we can get. It's amazing that they even have this kind of technology. I measured about 30% more amiotic fluid than what is average, which is a good thing except that it makes me look about 3 months further along than I really am. :O

I've wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped us out with this pregnancy. We have the most amazing neighbors, friends and family. I wish I could repay everyone for everything that has been done. It might take me the rest of my lifetime. Jared keeps telling me that I'm a trooper, but I honestly think it is just as hard on him as it has been on me. He has handled it so well. He has been by my side the whole time. Without him I would've been in the hospital and Kendi would have had to live somewhere else which would have killed me. I think we are through the worst of it and we're looking forward to having this new little one join us.

Kendi's First Year


I'm really excited about the photobook I'm getting from Blurg.com of Kendi's First Year. I wish I could share the whole book with you, but I can't. Here are just a few of the pictures before I delete them from my computer.









She's so precious. Can't wait for the next one.

Halloween Croup

Kendi wanted a Kitty carved into her pumpkin. We thought she would like to help clean out the pumpkin, but she didn't like it.
Kendi and her Kitty. It's fun to have an artist for a daddy.

Kendi came down with Croup the night before Halloween. I was probably more bummed about her being sick than she was. All I could get her to do was put her costume on long enough to take a picture.
We took her to a Trunk or Treat the night before so she didn't miss out completely.
