Shots of a Really Fun Day

April 11, 2008 By Kelle

Just one of those days…fun to the tenth power. We spent the entire day with Poppa beginning with coffee at our house this morning followed by a long wagon ride around the neighborhood where my dad and I discussed which front doors we like and whose landscaping took first prize. (I love that). Then it was off shopping with him at Coconut Pointe. We had lunch together, took pictures by the fountain, made funny faces in the mirror at Z Gallerie, soaked up LOTS of attention, and then finally came home where we all crashed on the couch and took naps while the Travel Channel’s “Best Caribbean Beaches” hummed in the background. Divinity, I tell you. Fun shots of our day:



I love this:
Every day is more fun with Lainey Love!

Christmas in April, Heavenly Babies and Finding the Moon

April 11, 2008 By Kelle

New Things We Do:

1) She holds the phone up to her ear and says “Vrrrr.” Brilliant Child.

2) She LOVES to go through our box of old Christmas cards and make a HUGE mess of cards on the floor (note to all: Baby is never left unsupervised with this Ziplock…tee hee). She points to the cards and says “Vrrr.” Brilliant Child. 3) She knows where the moon is! Daddy takes her outside every night before bed to say Goodnight to Mr. Moon. She points up in the sky and says “Vrrrr.” Brilliant Child.4.) She met her best friend, Lily. We are practicing with Baby Doll at home…how to be gentle and touch softly and give whisper kisses. We’ll get there. Precious to hold this sweet baby. I snuck in an extra picture of our Sweet Lily…we just love her! I think she’s part mine. No need for Amber Alert, but seriously. Aching for another baby after holding this heaven. Sigh.

And here’s my little heaven. Another sigh. Life is good, people. Life is good.

Goodnight, Moon! Goodnight All! Or, as Lainey says….”Vrrrrr.” Sigh. I love her.

What Does Happiness Look Like?

April 9, 2008 By Kelle

…and the girl asked God, “What Does Happiness Look Like?”
…and God showed her.


…and the girl wept.
“Yes, this is happiness.”

Thank you God for Happiness.
