On Friday November 23, Kaylin (along with Tim and Kay) got on a plane to go to Minnesota to meet her great-grandparents for the first time (Tim's mom and dad). We are now going on day three (last time we saw her was Thursday) of me not seeing her and I am miserable! I am so in love with that beautiful little girl, and I am so greatful that God has placed her in our lives. We are so undeserving of such an amazing child. I've spent a lot of time lately being upset with God, as some of you know we are trying to have another baby and have yet to be successful. Some days I am okay with everything we have been through this last year and other days I am out right MAD! It has been hard for me to comprehend why people who either aren't trying, or teenagers, or people who can't afford it, or people who are just sleeping around with whoever are getting pregnant and we aren't. It is in these last few days that I have realized how truly blessed we are. We were able to have a beautiful, healthy little girl and at the time we had her many people could have said the same things about us as I have been saying about the people above. We were not trying to have a baby, and we definitely couldn't afford it, but God knew what he was doing when he blessed us with Kaylin. Many couples go their entire lives and are unable to have children, so I should be thankful for the one that we were given.
Kaylin comes home tomorrow night and I can't wait to hold her in my arms, hug her and tell her how much I love her and how she is our greatest gift that God has given us, aside from the gift of everlasting life!
I hope you all have a fabulous week! And remember to be thankful for all things in life whether big or small!
Okay, so I was going to save all my money from my birthday and christmas to buy a new camera. A Nikon D40, it is a small, cute, digital slr. Well, Jon surprised me with it for my birthday, so played with the camera some on Friday night (since Friday was my birthday), and then we went to the park today and took some pictures of Kaylin. So here are some of the photos I took. Some of these we are going to send in as head shoots to try to get Kaylin into modeling and maybe even some tv.......we will see what happens.
Okay, so as a lot of you know Kaylin was sick all week during the last week of October. So we didn't get to go to Trunk or Treat at our church. We were really sad (more me than Jon and Kaylin) that Kaylin wasn't going to be able to get dressed up in her flapper costume and show everyone how cute she was, but Jon came up with an awesome idea! We would just go trick or trerating on another night. So we got my mom (dad was working), jon's grandma, the chapman family (friends of ours from church), and jon's mom and dad to play along. We got Kaylin all dressed up in her costume and went to all the houses and did our trick or treating. She got a ton of candy and had a blast. She didn't really get what was going on at the first house but picked up on what was going on and she loved it!!! So here are some pictures of Kaylin in her costume.
Okay, so we are officially potty training. Kaylin is becoming more and more consistent in telling us that she needs to go potty. At first she would tell us that she needed to go and then she would just sit there and smile at us with this goofy look on her face but now she is actually going to the bathroom.
On another note she is the tidiest person I know. I don't know where she gets it because Jon and I are both really bad about cleaning up! She loves to pick up though. She loves to throw away trash and put her toys back in her toy box. Hopefully she will keep this habit throughout her teenage years.......but I won't hold my breath.
