Party of Five: X-Rays for the Little One
http://kimandkenny.blogspot.com/2013/12/x-rays-for-little-one.html
The life of Kim, Kenny, Brayden, Brinley and Bristol. Tuesday, December 3, 2013. X-Rays for the Little One. Thanksgiving morning, I plop Bristol down on the counter at Children's Urgent Care and tell them that I think she may have eaten a staple. "You said that so calmly," the receptionist tells me. I reply: "Well, she's child number three and this is our first possibly swallowed item, so I think we may be due for one. And she seems totally fine.". I decide to see what I can find on the internet.

http://kimandkenny.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
The life of Kim, Kenny, Brayden, Brinley and Bristol. Sunday, June 16, 2013. A Running Tribute to Melanie. Last July I signed up for a 5K and started running with Hannah Dunn at Camp Horizons in the early mornings. In September, I joined a group of ladies from my church to run the 5K- the first for several of us. Katie Welborn was my encourager and dropped back to run with me. I ran the whole thing and was so proud of myself! May 27 came quickly and I was ready to go! My family dropped me off at the star...

Party of Five: Apraxia Awareness Day
http://kimandkenny.blogspot.com/2014/05/today-is-apraxia-awareness-day.html
The life of Kim, Kenny, Brayden, Brinley and Bristol. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Today is Apraxia Awareness Day. Our little girl, Bristol, has apraxia of speech and has difficulty with motor planning. Basically, she doesn't always have the words to say what she wants to say. She is three and uses about a dozen signs and has a vocabulary of around 75 words. We are working with another therapist over the summer, and are excited that Bristol will be in full day county preschool starting in the fall, and she w...

The life of Kim, Kenny, Brayden, Brinley and Bristol. Friday, November 23, 2012. We have big news. We are moving to Colorado in December! After being a part of Camp Horizons for 25 years as a camper and staff member, and having both been here for ten years full-time, this was not an easy choice to make. We are excited about this opportunity for our family as I start a new adventure at Cheley Colorado Camps. In Estes Park, Colorado with winters in Denver. Links to this post.

http://kimandkenny.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
The life of Kim, Kenny, Brayden, Brinley and Bristol. Monday, April 15, 2013. Today would have been Buddy and Barbara's 41st wedding anniversary. Buddy always used to joke that they were married on Tax Day and he always paid all of his dues on the same day. Today my friend Melanie lost her battle with liver cancer, leaving behind her husband Tim and their two young children. Today explosions rocked Boston during the Boston Marathon, killing some and injuring others. Today has been hard. Links to this post.

http://kimandkenny.blogspot.com/2014/01/2013-in-review.html
The life of Kim, Kenny, Brayden, Brinley and Bristol. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. 2013 was a crazy, tough, fun year of growth. We moved our little family across the country. This after a whirlwind 3-day visit to see the camp, find a place to live and a daycare for the girls (check, check and check! We poured a 3 bedroom house, garage and backyard shed into a 2 bedroom condo. Our baby girl lived in our closet. Well, not exactly a closet. The little area next to our closet. Our house in Virginia was on the...

Party of Five: July 2013
http://kimandkenny.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The life of Kim, Kenny, Brayden, Brinley and Bristol. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. The recent news about the church bus crash in Indiana hit close to home. My heart is breaking for the kids on the bus and trip, the family of the mom that was killed, the little boy of the pastor and his wife who were killed, the bus driver and everyone in that church family. In that moment, I decided that I wanted to be a doctor or a nurse, and in high school I became an EMT. In that moment, death became real. I think about th...

Party of Five: Operation Christmas Child
http://kimandkenny.blogspot.com/2013/11/operation-christmas-child.html
The life of Kim, Kenny, Brayden, Brinley and Bristol. Saturday, November 16, 2013. For the last few years our family has enjoyed packing shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Many items came from Dollar Tree. I try to buy multi-packs of items that can be split between several boxes. I also stocked up on school supplies when they were on sale and got a bunch of cups, water bottles and utensils 70-90% off at Dollar General. We could easily re-create these for next year. We had a packing party with our ...
