Friday Favorites

By
Wow! I can't believe we are already back around to Friday. Sometimes when I think about it, the weeks seem so long. As we wait for Will's due date to roll around it seems like the days pass so slowly. Yet, when I realize that I wrote the last Friday Favorites post a week ago, it still feels like yesterday.

Without further ado... Friday Favorites:

We love our church and our church family. Kenzie loves it too. I have had a Friday Favorite before about our worship nights, which we love. One other aspect of our church that is amazing (although everything about it is), is the children's ministry. Kenzie is old enough to go in to the older classroom now (2-3 year olds) and she LOVES it. She always comes out of there telling us about what she learned and she gets to color and/or do crafts. This past week they were talking about how God made everything in the world. At least that is what I got from looking at her coloring and trying to get info out of her that made enough sense to pass on. Regardless, the kid was super excited with her hat. It was very adorable. She still talks about the day she made "super eyes". Granted, she tore them apart one day so we no longer have them... but it made a lasting impression.


I already posted this pic on Facebook this week. I think I forgot about it on Instagram though. I have actually gone Kenzie's entire 2 years without getting peed on like this. I mean, I have been peed on. Such is life as a mom... but I don't know that I have had it happen like this. I MIGHT have been holding her and tickling her like crazy. She was laughing so hard that she just couldn't hold it. That in itself was hilarious. I would do it all again though to hear her laugh like that. That is one of my favorite sounds.


This Tuesday Kenzie and I decided to make one last (sort of last minute) trip to Palatka to have lunch with Nana and see Papa (and Gus, the dog) before we decide to start remaining near home and the hospital until Will arrives. After Will is here I think it will be a bit before we make the trip again. It is only about an hour and a half drive, but it is through the Ocala National Forest and I would hate to start going in to labor during that trip. Plus, I am NOT delivering at any Palatka area hospital so I'm not willing to risk that. Sorry to anyone that lives or has lived in Palatka. It's just not happening. Anyway, we made the drive up in the morning and had lunch before turning around and leaving again. It is a long drive and day for just the two of us. Well, more for me. Kenzie napped almost the whole way home. I would have liked to have napped. I am so happy that both sets of grandparents are within about an hour and a half drive (they area actually less than an hour from each other too so that can be a plus for when we want to all get together).

One day we will be able to convince Kenzie to look at the camera again and not be so silly.
This week Kenzie received a gift in the mail from Nana. She was super excited. Not only does she now have a "Knights hat" but she has a "Daddy hat" too. Crazy kid. She just HAD to wear her Daddy hat to match Daddy when we went to our usual Wednesday night dinner.

Ushering in Five-and-a-half

By
No. Nope. Not happening. Not even close.... but it is. As of tomorrow, Will is officially five-and-a-half. Halfway to six. SIX. What on earth? Both of our kids need to slow their roll and take it down a notch. It's so crazy to think that Will is going to be six in just six short months. He will start Kindergarten soon. He is already registered and ready to go. He is growing up so fast right before our eyes and it is a happy and sad time for me as Mama, for sure. So, a short update on Will at 5-and-a-half... - Will is growing like a weed. It is not uncommon right now for people to ask me if he has grown inches upon inches overnight. We are noticing that he is catching up to Kenzie fairly quickly and some of his friends that he used to be very similar in height to, he has gotten slightly taller than them. It's just his growth spurt time, apparently.  He remains remarkably skinny. So skinny that his clothes tend to fall of of him if we don't have adjustable waists. T...

Preschool Done.... One Step Closer to MIT

By
So, here it is. The end of "preschool." Note: "Preschool" and "VPK" are not used interchangeably for the purpose of our discussion. In the sense of the word, Kenzie is done with "preschool" and next year will be in "VPK". Eek! That's not allowed. Kenzie's first official year in school is now done. She is one year older, one year wiser, one year more stubborn. It's crazy for us to think back that just a few short months ago we were going to her Meet the Teacher day and we were both having some major anxiety about our baby going to school. I remember the first day of school plain as day. I thought she might have some apprehension. Nope. None. I probably shouldn't have been surprised. Kenzie went in like she owned the place. There was a day that her teacher mentioned that Kenzie was one of the quiet ones in the class and rarely spoke. I'm still not sure that she was thinking of my Kenzie. Maybe I had been dropping of...

Eight is Great!

By
Today Kenzie is EIGHT! It's so crazy. We have an 8 year old. Only two years away from double digits. A third grader. A girl that is quickly becoming a preteen. There is only a year left (technically) until that is officially the stage we are in. Though I have to say... she acts more and more like an actual preteen every day of her life. She's too much. We often joke that she is 8 going on 28, but in all honesty, she is an old soul and often acts much older than her years. At 8-years-old, Kenzie... - Is still the friendliest kid I know. She loves with her whole heart. She hates to hurt anyone's feelings. The downside is that her feelings get hit hard when someone isn't nice to her. We have had to deal with that on occasion, especially in the last year when we had a run in with a girl that Kenzie thought was her friend but she ended up being not really nice to Kenzie in the long run. We learned as parents that the "mean girl" stage starts early. Kenzie...
