Praise the Lord

As many of you know, my mom was recently diagnosed with PNET, a rare brain tumor usually in children. Mom had surgery to remove most of the tumor, however, some still remains in the nerve and lining.
After doing many scans and tests, the doctors determined that the cancer is no where else in the body. PTL
Mom will begin radiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks and then chemo. Please continue to pray for her strength and for all of us as she goes through these treatments.
Mom is a very strong lady and I know she'll fight like a champ!

Kenzie loves the water. This year Heath and I decided to put up our own pool. Kenzie has been swimming a few times now and loves it! She doesn't want to get out. She's even kicking her feet when she's in her floatie to move herself around. She also loves splashing!

I just love these pink pin striped overalls and can't wait for Kenzie to be able to wear them. However, it will be a little while yet. We tried them on this weekend and they are still a little too big! :)
Notice the big girl standing all alone though! She has been caught doing this a few times over the past couple days.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

-Love Kenzie

Miss Kenzie is 10 months old today!
Here are some things about her...
She loves to be outside, especially with Max.
She'll eat any kind of baby food and has started on a little table food.
She's started holding on to a stuffed monkey.
She still doesn't sleep through the night.
She's about 20 pounds and wearing 12 month clothes.
She loves water whether it's the bath tub or in our pool.
She's always happy!
She can wave bye-bye, hold her hand to her ear to talk on the phone and DANCE.
She likes to hear herself, especially squealing!

Time has gone fast. We love you Kenzie!

Lovin' the outdoors!

Kenzie loves Max. She gets very excited when she sees him! She was talking to him in this photo.

She does pretty well being gentle with Max. She loves his nose and he loves to lick her face!

She's getting used to the grass. At first she didn't know what to think. Now, she just wants to eat it.

Kenzie likes to swing on the porch swing as well as her swing on the swing set.

Biscuits & Bathtime

Kenzie loves bathtime. She's learned how to splash!
Kenzie loves to eat. :)

She's enjoying her bitter biscuit before bathtime!

Currently she just has 4 teeth, but seems to be working on a couple more!

Update:

Kenzie got to spend last week with me at Discovery Days. This is a week long 4-H event for high school youth. She was great!

This weekend, with the help of some friends, we put up out swimming pool. This is the first year for us to have a pool, but we think we'll all enjoy it very much!

My mom is doing well. She gets out and about for a while each day. We go back to KU Med on Friday and hope to find out some answers. Please continue to pray.

The Brown County Fair is just around the corner so I have begun to get busier at work.

Kenzie enjoys playing with the other kids at daycare and has really become mobile. She crawls wherever she wants to go and isn't afraid to pull herself up!

She has 4 teeth and loves to eat. She prefers baby food over her bottles, but I don't give in!

Stay cool, it's a scorcher!
