Kennedy's First Visit with Aunt Kate and Uncle Chris

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I have been so busy with work...you can check out my work blog anytime to see what I am up to at www.hayescommunications.blogspot.com. I wanted to post some pictures of our visit with Kate and Chris who came all of the way from France to see us! We had a perfect time and it was so great to get to know them both. Fabulous people! Kate even brought Kennedy her VERY first dress from Paris!!!!! I am jealous...but my big sister PROMISED to take me shopping in Paris when I go to visit her. The countdown is on and I hope to try and go in the next year or so!!! I can't wait!

Happy Easter!!!

Well the past week has been a tough one! Last Wednesday March 12th, Kennedy had her first major accident. We were at the Dr.'s office and I had just changed her diaper on the examination table. I turned my head for a split second to throw the diaper away, I was right there...she flipped and before I could catch her she was gone...off of the table!I can honestly say I don't remember ever being that scared. She responded immediately and the Dr. called an ambulance. We spent the night in the hospital to make sure she was okay. After two CT scans we found she had two skull fractures but by the GRACE of our GOD...she had no bleeding or swelling on the brain. God performed a miracle and she is okay. Mommy did much worse than she did..I have felt horribly responsible for the accident...but I am working on forgiving myself and learning a lesson I will never forget. Every time I look at her precious smile I feel so grateful that she is here, and that God was holding onto her that day. I want to wish EVERYONE a very happy Easter! May we not forget why we celebrate this day...our Lord Jesus Christ sacrificed his life so that we may be forgiven! Much love to all!!!

Vegas Baby!!!

Michael and I took Kennedy and Leanna to Vegas for the week. It was their first time flying and they both did wonderful!!! Leanna was a trooper and even sat by the window! The girls and I had a blast shopping during the day and touring the hotels while Michael was in meetings. He was lucky to take a day off to join us in our fun! We had a GREAT time!!!

Getaway to Cozumel

Michael and I spent some getaway time on a cruise to Cozumel! I didn't even remember what it was like to sleep through the night! Missed the kids like crazy, but it was GREAT to get away from reality for a while!!!

Mommy and Me Time

I had so much fun with little Kennedy taking pictures!!! She was 5 months old in these photos. Now she is 6 months old and I am just posting these, and it is time to take more pictures!!!

Family Winter Vacation

We had a GREAT time in Gatlinburg, TN over the new year! It snowed to top it all off! The kids played in it all day! It was so neat for them, being Florida raised kids. Mom spoiled us everyday with breakfast, and we relaxed and took in the sights! We even went Go-Kart riding...fun!!! We visited Ober Mountain, Downtown Gatlinburg, The Old Mill, The Apple Barn, and my all-time favorite...the Log Cabin Pancake House!!

Vacation

We had an escape from reality for a while, spending time with the kids in Orlando for 5 days. It was great. We tired Kennedy out so much at Disney that she slept until 9am most mornings! She rolled over yesterday 11/26/2007 for the first time!!! I don't think she quite knew what to do on her belly!! Kyle is still taking guitar lessons and doing well with them. Leanna has her last soccer game this week and is still in her jazz, tap, and ballet classes!
