Alabama Trip!

When we arrived at Aaron & Rachel's we were welcomed by an Alabama rain storm! Wow! The drops started as we were getting out of the van. We made it inside right before the thunder & lightning began! Aaron & Rachel were at church so we settled in and waited for them. As soon as they arrived the fun began! Grandmama began passing out goodies for one & all! Not a child was forgotten. It was a little like Christmas! The following pictures are from the Wednesday night and some from Thursday!




All nine grandchildren decked out in their jammies!

Emily Ruth Kennedy

Hello Friends & Family!

Emily Ruth arrived on June 13, 2009 at 8:51 pm. She was 6 lbs. 15 oz., and 20 inches long. Emily spent her first week in the NICU. She had bilateral pneumothrax. This is where your lungs fill in with air pockets of carbon dioxide. The first couple of days were scary. We thank God for answering all of our prayers! We are so thankful to be home for Father's day.


The girls love their new baby sister & I have loved watching Julia with her. She talks to her like she will answer!






These are some of the pictures we have & I will be taking more today for Father's Day! We go today to have more blood work done on Emily & are praying that our Billie Blanket will get to be returned tomorrow:)

Home for Sale!

It has been an exciting week for us! today we are supposed to be having people look at our house. we have found a home in Greenfield to rent ande are praying that aGod will sell our home for us quickly!

School's OUT!

School is officially over & now we are on the countdown to Emily Ruth's arrival! They say I have 6 weeks left but I think they are wrong! I think maybe 3 weeks. I am going to try to do better with posting on the blog;). I have a ton of photos to upload from K graduation. Elizabeth was so darling! All of the girls received academic certificates! Rachel received an Excellence in Letter Recognition & Sounds, and she received the Christian Character Award! Elizabeth received an Excellence in Reading! Hannah received an Excellence in Reading, Academic Excellence for being on the A Honor Roll all year long. We are so proud of our girls.

I am excited to see what next year is like with me home schooling. I know that Hannah & Elizabeth will need to be challenged so it should be fun!

3D Ultrasound

Well, Emily did not cooperate to give us good pictures, but I will post the best ones tomorrow or Saturday! I am going back in two weeks to have another one! Hopefully she will cooperate this next time! Have a great day in the Lord!
