Monday, July 7, 2014. Today is a very special day. One year ago today, God gave you to our family. We knew right away that you were (and are) someone very special - from your first moments, you had a sweet and laid back temperament. Honestly, I'm convicted at times that I am neglectful of you because you don't demand attention. You are content and laid back, independent and at times stubborn. You are compliant and learn quickly, fully of curiosity and silliness. From your first day, we have said over and...

Friday, December 16, 2011. I wish I had pictures - but will try to tell the story and post pictures as soon as I find them. This past weekend we had our annual Staff Christmas Party. For the sake of this story - I would like to remind you that I work at a church.an amazing church.but a church. Part of the goal of the party is to bless our staff and take an opportunity to have some fun and relax. Until the Staff Christmas Party. As a group, we walked into the Sanctuary. The chairs had been cleared to ...

Sunday, January 8, 2012. Keira is growing a little out of the "Winston Churchill" stage.and moving on to the "Cabbage Patch Kids" stage. I think it's a step up.but I also think she's the cutest thing ever (and has been since day one). Note the AMAZING photos from the AMAZING camera my AMAZING husband got me for Christmas. Thanks, Baby. I love it! Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Why I Love the Doctors. I might be a horrible parent, but I love taking Keira to the doctors. Even when she has to get shots. She fi...

Hello, Chum.: I can't help myself.
http://degrooters.blogspot.com/2012/09/i-cant-help-myself.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. I can't help myself. This kid is to die for! I finally coerced her to leave a bow/barret thing in her hair for a few minutes, and totally capitalized on the opportunity to do a little 15-month photo shoot. Here are a few samples:. October 28, 2012 at 7:18 AM. She looks so much like you in these pictures! Definitely starting to get her toddler looks. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Chasing caleb waking beth.

Monday, November 28, 2011. Driving home from Thanksgiving dinner, I got really annoyed at a sign I read outside a church. Thanksgiving was never meant to be for one day.". Sometimes (let's face it, lots of times), little things like this really. We did, in our family, have a great celebration of Thanksgiving.and we are thankful. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Hello, Chum.: September Impressions
http://degrooters.blogspot.com/2012/09/september-impressions.html
Thursday, September 20, 2012. It's been a full month. Great, but busy. I looked at my calendar this morning and literally, there has only been 1 night in the past 10 days when Rob and I were both at home together - at the same time. And, yes. We have plans almost every night for the next 2 weeks. Literally, we tried to make dinner plans with some friends, and the tentative. Date I threw out was three. But, in the middle of this busy season - God has impressed a few things on my heart. God talks about the...

Sunday, October 23, 2011. So my baby is 4 months old. With or without a neck, she's the most adorable thing you've ever seen in your life. We have had a few strangers mistake her as a boy recently - but I still think she's ridiculously cute. Seriously, I keep buying bows and headbands for her, but her head is so darn big they're all too small. You may be thinking, "Might you try the toddler sizes, Kemp? In this one, I imagine she's thinking, "Who are these crazy people? So, yeah. She's pretty awesome.
