I must first preface this with... this is NOT a pregnancy announcement. Dear Lord. We have a 5 month old and a toddler. I would have to be crazy. =)
It was around 3 years ago that we first posted this picture to Facebook...
This was our way to announce that we were officially expecting Young Baby #1. Less than 6 months later, little Kenzie graced us with her amazing presence. She came into our lives like a shot and is still keeping us on our toes day in and day out. Kenzie is a happy, fun, excitable, vibrant, friendly, little girl. She loves life. She loves her family. She loves Doc McStuffins. (I had to get that in there. The kid thinks she is the next Doc...) Kenzie spent two years of her life being our one and only... and then...
Will entered the picture. Kenzie immediately took on the role of big sister. She is an amazing big sister. Just like his sister, Will entered our lives in a slightly dramatic way. He became the other part of our whole. We are this family now, filled with even more love than we ever imagined. I remember worrying that we wouldn't be able to love another child as much as we do Kenzie. I remember thinking that I could never divide my love equally between the two of them. Truth is... I didn't need to. Instead of having to divide love, our hearts grew even bigger and we just multiplied that love.
Now, 3 years later we have our share of ups and downs. We have good days and bad. Most of all though... we have love.
We filled those flip flops (and grew out of them). Then we picked up a new pair (okay, actually the newest ones were given to us when we were announcing Kenzie by my very good friend) and now they are holding the "tootsies" of our baby boy.
I love our little family and I couldn't imagine my life any other way than it is right now.
*Also, yes, I know Jack isn't included in this picture but it isn't because we love him any less. It's because we couldn't wrangle him, a toddler, and steady a 5 month old long enough to take a picture. We tried. It just didn't work. So, here is a picture of him doing what he does best. Laying around doing nothing. =)
