We've Got Another Deep Thinker On Our Hands

Katelyn has always been a deep thinker...to the point of being quite philosophical. Well, it looks like we indeed have another deep thinking child on our hands...little miss Kennedy. One example of Kennedy's inquisitive side would be what happened during and after this year's Good Friday service. Little miss Kennedy had so many questions throughout the entire service. Although she had just turned three a few weeks earlier, she really listened and internalized the pastor's message as well as the songs. She had really good questions that terribly hard to explain to a 3 year-old. She was also moved by Peter's dramatic performance. It was mostly a monologue, but Peter collapsed at the end as he cried about defying Jesus. Kennedy was so in awe with the entire reenactment. She kept asking if she could be Peter when she is old enough. During prayers at dinner over the next several weeks, Kennedy insisted on saying her prayers in Peter's voice...very loud, deep, and staccato. This was just the beginning of what we have have determined to be Kennedy's interest for drama and performing.

Here is our deep thinking, dressing-up, drama queen of a princess...

Folly Beach with the Cousins

We spent a mini-spring break at Folly Beach with Uncle Mike, Aunt Tiffany, Jacob (4), Tommy (2), Aunt Tiffany's parents, Tom and Judy, and Gre and Papoo of course! Tiffany's parents graciously invited all of us to stay with them at their beach house in South Carolina.

It was so much fun spending time with everyone. We definitely do not get to see Mike, Tiffany, Jacob, and Tommy enough! Tom are Judy are awesome! They are so welcoming and make everyone feel just like family!

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the beach I go. Kennedy was just skipping and jumping around like a little jester here. She was truly giddy.

Kevin...being the attentive daddy that he is

Oh my goodness, I love that little face!

Everyone just hanging out at the beach

Here is the "baby" of the group...Tommy

Kennedy would just giggle and giggle watching this boat float away with the tide.

A little grandfatherly advice for Jacob

Tom was always scouting out just the right shells for each of the kiddos

Look at those little wet panties...I love these next few pictures!

Katelyn looks way to grown-up in these next pictures. Where is my little girl? She is a definitely a beach LOVER!

A little girl time with Uncle Mike

The Nels cousins...Jacob, Tommy, Katelyn, & Kennedy

Kennedy and Jacob could be twins!

Jacob is so stinkin' cute!

Thanks for the fun guys, we miss you all already!

This Makes Me Smile

Things were awfully quiet down in the basement today, so I went to see what the girls were up to. Much to my happy eyes, this is what I found...
