So- I don't really have anything all that exciting to report. Mac and I have been crazy busy trying to clear out the spare bedroom- that has somehow turned into the room where we throw in whatever we really don't have an official place for. It is the room that ever since we bought this place- had literally been untouched by human hands. Literally we have probably only been in the room about 4 times- when getting out Christmas decorations and then putting them away. We just open the door- and chuck whatever is going in there that day. BUT! (trumpets and fanfare) we are clearing it out and turning it into Kennedy's OFFICIAL big girl room! WAHOO! I am actually really excited about the whole thing- because once her room is finished, we can start clearing out the "nursery" room. I don't know how many people are aware- but we are starting the adoption process again and are just beginning the prep stages. Anyhow- we have cleared it and at the moment- it is covered in fresh new paint (pink- I might add), painters tape and plastic. We decided that Kenna is only young once and we wanted her to love her new room. So- we let her choose everything. Let's just say that this room is going to be a horrific- pink and purple, princess, butterfly, flower room- and while I am LOVING watching her enjoy it... I will be counting the days until she grows out of this style and into what I really wanted to do in there. I will have to post some pictures of our finished product when all is said and done. We have to hurry- because we are doing this for Kennedy's adoption day, which is fast approaching. (We celebrate adoption day- just like a birthday...party, presents- the works. One- because I love a reason to celebrate. Two- because Kenna's birthday is in January- and party's are funner in August because you can be outside. But mostly just because we want Kenna to grow up knowing that we celebrate the day that she became an "official" member of our family.) Kenna runs around telling everyone that will listen to her that she is getting a big girl bed for "doption" day. I love it.

OH, if you only knew how much reading this post made me miss you, Hannon! You're doing a big girl bedroom, and I'm not there to help? Agony. I only have boys and I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever paint a room pink :( I want to be there for 'doption' day!! Can you even believe that it's been 1.5 years since you were sealed in the temple? Wow, what an awesome day that was. Please, as you help Kenna pick out girly flowers, and you're sticking on butterfly decals on the wall -- think of me. Sniff, sniff.
If I didn't know better I would think this post -- especially the title -- was in direct response to an email I sent out! Ha! See you in five weeks.
Good work. You guys are amazing. That is a lot of work! We are back in Utah and semi-settled. Let's get together!
You are so right, she is only young once, let her have what she wants in the room, she will have great memories. You guys are such wonderful parents and have raised such a sweetheart. She delights me every week when it is "our special day". I can't wait to see the big girl room. We still need to go shopping for my contribution to the big girl room. You know I will let her pick out whatever her heart desires.
Love ya , Mom
Yay! I am so excited to see the final product! And good luck with your next round of papers amd waiting.
