For Kaiya

"Oh wow...It's a girl!" your Father said to me with smile. Both of our eyes were filled with tears. I felt peace and joy and beauty all at once as I held your tiny body in my arms.
"What is her name?" the nurses asked.
"Kaiya..her name is Kaiya."

Kaiya,
From the moment you came into our world, your Father and I knew our lives would change forever. We had no idea it could be this amazing. There are no words to describe the love in my heart. When I look at you I feel like everything is brand new, like the start of a new day. I am wide awake, filled with life. I smile through tears as I type each sentance, so grateful for my sweet, sweet baby. I am now reminded of the potential each day brings; all of the good things life has to offer. Every morning now is a 'good morning' waking up and singing to you. You are pure JOY.

Good morning, Kaiya. Good morning, life.

How big is Kaiya? Soooooo BIG!

Oh Brother!

Riley Rose

Oh no!  A broken arm on April Fool's Day!

Story time


When Leenie was pregnant, Riley was such a good helper.  He helped paint the baby's bedroom and always helped Daddy with the chores.  Then on April Fool's Day he broke his arm.  Riley didn't let this hold him back though.  He still ran and played and climbed as if he had never been hurt.  Riley and Leenie used alot of team work to help each other out, especially when they went to Disney World.  He even had Mickey Mouse sign his cast!  Riley turned 7 three days before Kaiya was born.  He said he wanted to share his party with Kaiya.  The next weekend, we had a birthday party for Riley and Kaiya.  Everyone came over to the house and we had cake in the backyard.  Riley reads and sings to Kaiya and he can always make funny faces to calm her down.  He is just such a sweet little boy with a huge heart.  Kaiya is lucky to have such a special big brother.
