It has been a busy week!

This week has flown by and I have not uploaded our most recent pictures to the computer so I can post them... I will do that soon. Kenadie has been on the go this week. She went to her first church service this past week. It still counts even though it was evening service and we sat up in the balcony so as to avoid the crowd! We are limiting her exposure to large crowds until she gets all of her shots and gets a little bigger. We have been able to get out and visit a few friends at their homes... Although I think this is more for me than the baby:) Wednesday night I took Kenadie to choir so Brett could introduce her to everyone. We got there after they had already started and it was pretty funny to hear the song they were singing abruptly stop when I walked in with Kenadie! They were all glad to get to see her if only for a few minutes. Unfortunately for some of the ladies Kenadie is not yet big enough to be "passed around". We did not stay long as they had quite a bit to cover in preparation for our Christmas Concert. Kenadie was able to attend her first wedding today! We fed her before we left and she slept like a perfect angel through the ceremony and reception! We are looking forward to this coming Holiday week and all the family that will be coming to see us!

We were so excited to agree on a name for Kenadie soon after finding out she was a girl. Then one day I was doodling her little name, initials and monogram and realized that our poor little girl would have the initials KCF, no big deal...but her monogram would be kFc.... So as a joke my sister Carolyn and brother in law Drew gave Brett a present in this (unused) KFC bucket before Kenadie was born. So we thought it would be funny to take a picture of her in the bucket! I do not think she will find this picture funny when she is older:)

Carolyn and Rhodes Visit

Disclaimer: I was too lazy to pull all the pics myself so I copied this post from my sisters blog! To see the real post check out their family blog The Herndon's.

Aunt Carolyn and Cousin Rhodes flew to Alabama last week to spend time with us! We were glad to have them come and visit and get to meet Kenadie!

Rhodes and Kenadie "meeting" each other for the very first time. What sweet little cousins they are. Notice Rhodes holding Kenadie's hand...too cute!

Aunt Cathy and little Rhodes spending time together. He looked like a "little" grown man with his button down shirt and blue pants.

The weather was beautiful while they were here so we took lots of walks. We bundled both kids up and snuggled them into the stroller together. Rhodes is protecting his little cousin.

We attempted multiple times to get pictures of the two together but it never seemed to work how we wanted it to. This is Carolyn's favorite picture, Look at the smile on Rhodes face while Kenadie is screaming.

Uncle Brett is trying very hard to convince Rhodes that Auburn is the way to go. Besides providing him with multiple Auburn outfits he worked on teaching him "War Eagle" every night along with the motions to the fight song.

This is a picture of the nightly "War Eagle" lesson.

WAR EAGLE BABY

Aunt Carolyn and Cousin Rhodes flew in for a visit so we loaded up the car and drove to Atlanta to pick them up. Kenadie did great in the car sleeping the entire time.

After we picked them up we headed to the OK Cafe to meet Nana B and Daddy Gene for Brunch. Kenadie enjoyed getting to see them and be loved on. We can't wait to see them again soon!


Kenadie and Rhodes in their matching car seats

Carolyn and I got out of the house for a little bit and took a walk to our neighborhood park! One stroller and two babies...no problem! They enjoyed their time snuggling in the stroller.
Our failed attempt at a picture of the cousins with both of them smiling.

GiGi and PaPa came to visit

GiGi and PaPa came to stay with us after Kenadie was born! We enjoyed their time with us and were so sad to see them leave for Texas after being here and taking such good care of us.

Me with my mom and Kenadie at 5 days old. Mom was my chauffer to appointments while Brett was at work. As well as Kenadies night nurse:) She was actually willing to get Kenadie up and ready for her 2 and 5 am feeds. Thanks Mom!

PaPa and Kenadie snuggling during some downtime between "projects" he worked on around our house.

First Week at Home!

Relaxing after a meal.

Berkley likes to stay by her side and make sure that she is ok.

Hanging out with PaPa.

Getting a little bit of "sun time" as the Dr. prescribed.

Kenadie at the Pediatricians office for a weight check and Bilirubin reading. According to the Dr. our little girl is petite and has a nice bronze glow from her jaundice. We have to go back ina few days to make sure she is gaining weight appropriately.

First Bath

Going Home

Kenadie meeting Berkley for the first time!

She actually likes her car seat and did not cry when we put her in it. She was asleep by the time we left the hospital.

Her sweet monogram...Unfortunately it is KFC!

Kenadie is dressed and ready to go home. The dress was a little big for her but it is special to us because it was originally my dress as a baby. We actually have a picture similar to this of me in the same dress at two weeks old. The locket was a present from Nana B and Daddy Gene, it has a K engraved on it. Thanks for my first piece of jewelry!

Too Cute for Words!
