Well- My sweet little girlfriend hasn't completely stopped her questions...but I think we are making headway. Thanks SOOO much for all of the suggestions and encouragement. I have been reading all of the different books for a few days now- and am loving all of the insight that I have gained. Race is such a tough issue to tackle- because in one way- I just want to shout at the top of my lungs..."Who the heck cares?! It is just COLOR! It's not like the World is going to blow up!" and then on the other hand...the world has made such a HUGE issue out of it- that it can't just be ignored- it needs to be addressed with care and tact, because my baby girls self esteem is tacked onto it. Ugh. I do have to say though- I am so grateful for the different playgroups and friends that have embraced Kennedy and I. I know that being around more kids and playing is helping her a lot.
Yesterday my sweetie sent me off to the spa for a day of pampering with Erin. He is the best! I mean honestly can you imagine a more perfect man! He watched the kids- and Erin's sweet baby Ella, while we melted into a pile of goo on the massage tables. MMM! I love being with Erin. I could just sit around and watch info-mercials on the Spanish channel- and have the best time with her- she just carries joy with her. So- doing fun stuff like spas was even better. This picture is of Elijah and Ella. So cute! I swear- it's too bad that we are out of the dark ages and I can't just demand arranged marriages.
Elijah is such a lover-boy! He just coos at me and I jump like a puppet.
Oh! Before I forget! Kennedy today was on my bed watching Pinocchio and Elijah started fussing and I could tell that he was getting hungry. So I started trying to prep Kenna telling her, "I'm just going to be downstairs for a few minutes...and if Elijah starts to cry- it will be ok- you can just give him his binkie...and I am just going to go and make a bottle- but I will hurry really fast...etc.." Anyhow- Kenna looks at me and puts her hand on her hip and says- "Mommy! I am 3 years old! I'm not a child!" HA! I about died! I just started laughing. I was trying to keep a serious face- but she was just so insulted that I thought that she couldn't handle taking care of the baby. She has been so fun- and is so sweet with her baby brother. I really have it all. Amazing husband, kids, and friends. How can it get better than that?!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Elijah is so cute. He's going to be such a heart breaker. I just can't stop looking at his gorgeous face!
Dang it forget all this stupid IVF stuff, I'm just gonna take Elijah. Thanks. And Thanks for the wonderful spa day! And Thanks to Mac and Kenna for sitting! I love you!
Okay, you say I never comment so here goes! Those are the cutest dang pictures!!! I agree that you and Erin should just let them know they don't have a choice and they will be getting married one day. Next time I want to come and play with you and Erin too!!!
That is the cutest thing ever "...I'm not a child", kids say the darndest things! lol, how amazing! Your kids are getting SOOO BIG! Love and miss ya!
So happy there is headway with Kenna. I'm happy you got to go to the spa with such a good friend and that you're husband is so great and gives you all you deserve AND I'm sooo happy to read about your kids. I love them and I've never met them. I do hope to meet you someday soon
First of all! Elijah is so dang cute!!!! I haven't seen him for a while, and he is a little man and so dang cute! As is Kennedy!
I am glad you are making headway with Kennedy.
She is so funny!!!
Abbey was just asking about her this morning and wondering when she could come over and play. Can Kennedy come over sometime this week? Well once Abbey get's better?
p.s. you should meet Amanda some day.
Fun fun fun! I love how Elijah's smile spreads across his whole face! From cheek to cheek! Love it! You guys are going to have your hands full when they are teens because they are so stinkin' cute! Since Kennedy "is not a child!" can I be a child again for her?! lol
Oh Shannon, you have adorable kids!! But, I hate to break it to you, Ella is gonna marry Jack. Its just gotta be that way. Although, since they look so much alike, maybe that wouldn't be a good idea, people may talk. Fine, Elijah can marry Ella. DANG IT! Love you tons!! Lunch Wednesday, right?
I love that story. I had to read it out loud to Scott ,and we had a great little laugh. I am thinking about you and hope everything is going well with your two sweet beautiful babies!
It looks like his smile is coming along =) THAT MEANS.. we can go take pictures!! E-mail me amyjosphotography@gmail.com, and we will set up a date and time! I am so excited!
I think that you are a great mother, and I am glad that there are people out there, like you, who don't mind adopting different children, who their mothers can't take care of them. I am glad that you hosted the egg hunt, and I hope that our kids can play with each other more often
Your kids are beautiful! Elijah's smiling picture just melts my heart away. It was so great to see him in person and see his dang-cute, sweet, angel face up close and personal. By the way, did Kenna get that statement from The Little Mermaid? "I'm not a child anymore!" Soooo funny. Kenna CRACKS me up for real.
