We called the family and made sure everyone could make it for the big day. Sure enough the Mennel clan made their way to OH the night before. Keira was sick as a little puppy and I felt horrible for leaving her, but knew she'd be in good hands. We made our way to the hospital by 6 AM on Thursday morning...my thoughts were to have a baby boy by 3 PM! Pitocin was started by 6:45 and we were anxiously waiting for the action to begin. I could not wait to meet my little boy! Around 11 they decided to order my epidural and said they would break my water shortly after. Epidural was a little more painful this time around than the first time...I think the contractions I was experiencing the first time were a little stronger and I didn't care what they did to take that pain away! Once the epidural was in place they broke my water and we were in business!! Between my nurse, midwife and Dr...this time around was so much more relaxed! If I could be guaranteed the same experience everytime...I'd have 6 more kids! Don wouldn't, but I would! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">With Don, my mom and dad and Don's mom all in the room coaching me along....Kalen James made his entrance on Jan 15th, at 3:31 PM, he was 7lbs 15oz and 21 1/2 in...lots of dark hair! His little cry was the sweetest sound, he sounded just like a little lamb. Which is exactly the way my mom always described my cry! They placed him in my arms and I instantly fell in love....he has my heart! If they could bottle up and sell the feeling you have when you see your own child for the very first time, someone would be a millionaire! I never want to forget those first few moments...they are magical! 10 little fingers, 10 little toes, perfect little lips, cute as a button nose and those ears...so adorable! He is a keeper, that's for sure!<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317187385085566354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgikDWJ_6P426H_6g9LKCJr8h-0fiUsnFM3F6nrOPMTM67fn3ltmW0-dEJLttBS_EnG15emVJ4WsfqW2YaYm-x7uII7LY5Vh1sRZdaZP10ywHNHhXidBIiN6iwc6ZfeMmtA5tRjtnE8B7NE/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+165.jpg" border="0" /> Kalen and momma!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317189439080545314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitd9ZhqYQxlyXacgH-BPHPgiF8Y6uQmoCLC13yRhYfMueTJBs0UdH96oNw9QtWeI08ubNx6SAAXB5vTM4PcK2lFuQrd8awBc618jCsYMpyC8EpAPopYzMxAck4HQzSy1dm-5uHROOyd4Om/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+175.jpg" border="0" /> Daddy, checking him out!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317184249529332642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1VdDtcqdGkS5pH37Y3o1PDB6JQmdfNR4E_PI-dB6sfKdMIsdxWkKK5BUpiYIeP5p_4DxaicivWpTu5afw45iV3m_ORd6ZERQMONt-afsrjatbg5axVB9ldl9N-YvFSFFESp37Y_H-PRIh/s320/DSCF6842.JPG" border="0" />So stinkin cute!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317189447272917970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmGEHjhirwYZQSlm7Hfq1mYhU3JL5RuW_kfpOToqvT47kJp9rI8powDQENy-aCy3r4TYhA65aSJoPpkg9DUZFFz1sPuN6hHnwctoZCstoENlC7bJ_XnZd7H-TLmBm7te5mFvmwmZZoRrBe/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+182.jpg" border="0" />Big Sister, not so sure about this new baby!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317189446016157314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCRsKK56AClXIi_MwngbhwHp-7-P4akt3YFUsLSI3-WOSeujip4QhxDtv7jCMMJUHxYdCH_qbiENbcNnaT7O_Rz-oV9B5bTfhPSe7R2zwuWfPZ2hldUpY772awjpXvqMfudYkXvPPsV49G/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+185.jpg" border="0" />But she does love the baby doll that Kalen brought her!<br /><br />I was so excited to see my little Keira with her baby brother.

She's a little bigger now, 26 lbs 9 oz and 35 in! She is by far, the smartest 2 year old I know....I might be a little biased!! She can tell you her ABC's, her full name and her brother's, she knows her colors (most of the time!), she can tell you what shapes are in front of her and good grief if you don't know who the President is...ask Keira she'll tell you! She does get a little confused and says the President lives in a Brown house, we're working on that!

So we did our best to go along with the book...all the food we had at the party were the different foods the caterpillar ate in the book! The cake, had me a nervous wreck...if anyone knows me...they'll know that I am not a very good cake decorator, but I try my hardest! Thanks to Daddy and Keira's aunties for guiding me through this one! Being 9 mos pregnant made me a little emotional, especially when one of the cakes completely collapsed...*&^^%%%$#!</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308679926014907506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb5emsHRl6z_dIv9MAF48rtZyJl0TllSuqdsUzin2SeozpNEtDqdlaFnFMcRrjUZChoIG8JkNBC3Gbh6yo0slqS5rfK3NgGC-QexKUgVDKlM73qPizANfiykh-LO83SeufWEQsrwXutIsX/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+098.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Here's the Caterpillar cake!</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308679934064681506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd2SuszUBfb0DcdebMnX4tgpzvPf_KkgrZaJeDcaLEQ9K1DiDWAO9fpe4Fx6WMlqUwWrb4XNjxyJHfZ3Y-Un9nP9CAj5F1fJ3ePMh-knwdJV1Gqg-v3W0QjQj-xa86hpKSL_rFoeHXJS_d/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+109.jpg" border="0" /></div><div align="center">We read the book so everyone would know the story...here's Carter coming in for a closer look!!</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308679930047819362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdZyS03uzPDebrH3UdSNTgi2QwaHZZmGqmGOLhCIYf7Y3Y5t8AFSkDlGMzf0NPjsyy3Iw-p8iC2v7No-YFBYVfrWYi_z_stYNMOHKICoJsI_Y8kjSxnJt6rEQt5BWw7vvZlrXY297ZmDY4/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+103.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Here's Keira showing off some of the gifts she received!</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308681520522800114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVxEvjajwMQ0P1SzIIWh20PuxNfinnhmsQUUGIOIhnhlqmQpzWv4_P9NZJPl0o-ubUE5YNxDmuyY6aStLmxnLYa6B5nVpHTH20zfQ_LTokRDyaGfa2I6PAkps25DzkaBwQXnG9NNDTS6G3/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+260.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>She loved Ceili's umbrella so Auntie Holly and clan bought her her very own umbrella and raincoat!</div><div> </div><div>Keira on her new bike, from Mommy and Daddy!</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308681502271590642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbIetzCxSHfIrfeeuMUzrIn4VueF1VxyLHyAVPgHnH5w-QowIhlRrYROL5B7wTzHgdG4KpTsuUMneYmT5eu4RK6m_gzTXdDv-spkzm_gqpFkPn5OqH2BqE9uJ3rnmHagOFXjUw9klgm4N2/s320/12-25-09+to+3-1-09+240.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Ty loves pushing Keira around the house on her bike!

Starting with the day after Thanksgiving shopping...standing in line to get those great deals is such a rush for me! Maybe I have a problem, but every year I awake at a crazy time in the morning, I have a plan...an agenda, can't sway, or I'll miss the deals...I'm on a mission and I love it! If you can keep up, you're more than welcome to join me next year! :) My goal every year is to make the Holiday season...a season to remember! I have so many memories of fun things my parents did with us girls and I am so focussed on doing the same for my kiddos! With that all being said...after a full day of shopping, we head downtown to the tree lighting in Indy...so much fun! Our next holiday adventure....CHICAGO WEEKEND!! The last couple of years we've gone to Chi-town to visit Auntie A and take in all the Christmas festivities in the windy city! We really have an awesome time every year!! This year I added a new tradition...I took <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Keira</span> to see her first Nutcracker Ballet! We had a great time...she may have been a little young this year to sit through the whole ballet, but what she did watch she loved! Nothing like watching activities through the eyes of your children! It brings all the excitement back watching their little faces! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Keira</span> was absolutely in awe of a Nutcracker that stood in the lobby of the Theater...I caught her on camera from behind standing and staring!! So cute! </div><div align="center">This year with baby number 2 in waiting...we were unable to go "home" for Christmas, but everyone came out shortly after for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Keira's</span> B-day and we celebrated then....keep watching for birthday pics~ </div><div align="center"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Christmas</span> Eve was a little more special this year with an almost two year old, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Keira</span> knew we had to set cookies out for Santa and she would not let us forget the reindeer....they need "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">tarrots</span>"! We read the "The Night Before Christmas" and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Keira's</span> special Christmas book she received from Saint Nick. She also opened the traditional "one" present on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Christmas </span>Eve....wow, it's pajama's! :) Christmas morning was more exciting for mommy and daddy than it was for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Keira</span>! No, she really enjoyed herself, we were just so excited to see her face!! </div><div align="center">Now the tree is down and spring is around the corner...I hope...I'm left reflecting on what a wonderful <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Holiday</span> season it was...we are so blessed with wonderful family and friends! I don't know what I'd do without each and everyone of you! Looking forward to next year and the many years to come!! Enjoy our Holiday pics....I know we enjoyed taking them!! </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308646344087803858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaUIMFX3l481HJmKxYIwhKXV9rO4BrvMQy2HvimMNE8nn49SkmL4kAmW81Osb7I-FMiGdObob2f9uHw8NBCmEJ9q9nUf4xKp9Fnt7s0wf_TZOx6kvH7by7q3foOH1C1uR6d5rqANzQLrz/s320/3-1-08+to+9-16-08+706.jpg" border="0" /></div><p align="center">The "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">fella's</span>" and the kids waiting for the big show!</p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308646338010106322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvrHQCQjEdeT4E9nJBMEHrpSqob6Us-RZuWz8l-gpDaVv5jqMAolhCOQ15bybtYtYo5JnFx6O0RbXDFESWadUXbK1A2azQMpdFIcoVfxEFErSxkPQdzS2lLtfT5xQDHRR3yDlQz0ff7f3e/s320/3-1-08+to+9-16-08+716.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308646344356954882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzYE7MqwxxfhRjof27kEY-UI4ty7bF1DDK3hZ8YxjFWIJfxxFzIDbA_VRQHtSITYZmcPnh0jmbiIUAbd3WkUABkxO5p2vsMS8MSt69d5GpsOYK8OCoCYho8JEwYIyI-heFehqzRUtO023T/s320/3-1-08+to+9-16-08+723.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center">The Tree of Lights!!!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308621353688163954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipsQPanlZtsGBDxjLTZlIw6iKRXd4iPrmEZYjWQhm9noy2Z13jFIBFomKEliCjuMtGPX76BGDyKawiAP9zCHHOGLXkOHkOwZ0gKj9y1tE_jGLDchU6rVPcw9NUKPSmDFYQ0F3_playMqHY/s320/3-1-08+to+9-16-08+746.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Chicago 08!<br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308662667137792722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkfsWbcbeSE60lRLxBcFYi_IFgCV4PHgpg8NhQ72U5xbNfG37FCgeKP4Fru39TBzuXiTbhtWWXMIV_JA6Lp_bThHTApXelqDrE8lcVnOHnNsB_z1cF6rTAmto2wCSaqVk3aZXlwLOcx27J/s320/3-1-08+to+9-16-08+745.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Keira</span> showing nothing but love for Santa!!

If you know anything about me....you know I love some Jimmy Buffett! Looking forward to the 2009 show....I'll actually be able to thoroughly enjoy myself!

It was a great bonding day for my little brother and I!<br />Sweet Auntie Holly took on both Ceili and Keira while we participated...she was so brave!<br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyRMCyv8XNPgLwuOJyjeHLMrOWizd559Wkg-vM53nT2xyHPwwzn4vKQosbcxwf9qa2w1WOlOVAQZAbOgEzDmyX_1D6RxR_hAHpTHCgyHbv-X93xhYzBp77ZOTVxl__5IR6K3SS3oSIyK8-/s1600-h/auntie+holly.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073055446261006642" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyRMCyv8XNPgLwuOJyjeHLMrOWizd559Wkg-vM53nT2xyHPwwzn4vKQosbcxwf9qa2w1WOlOVAQZAbOgEzDmyX_1D6RxR_hAHpTHCgyHbv-X93xhYzBp77ZOTVxl__5IR6K3SS3oSIyK8-/s320/auntie+holly.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>I was so happy to have my own personal cheerleader this year...Keira is quite the dedicated fan!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyrVq49gEiLyBT83KEa8UHCO9FvF2RbLvomZbW8lwWVcbbfEh6vU9kMEJd7XmwUgRCVAoirFUCvX9SWHxDTzwD5LZ6YnSGesUQtd47cxWdWwmQ9wJ41w4vtNGT3DUzAAN38vdriStIcVao/s1600-h/keira+my+fan.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073051026739658898" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyrVq49gEiLyBT83KEa8UHCO9FvF2RbLvomZbW8lwWVcbbfEh6vU9kMEJd7XmwUgRCVAoirFUCvX9SWHxDTzwD5LZ6YnSGesUQtd47cxWdWwmQ9wJ41w4vtNGT3DUzAAN38vdriStIcVao/s200/keira+my+fan.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVIXhuU1M90ArNC__tiu5DIDJcsotrYAtEe2NtrieE5UMU9Rc92-8AN0-RQx6m54daljD48xfj_R9ztC_75stUFm95OHBBkM8Lfjfu0NdVn1kz50LgNJdcRfHs_hT4C7d4SRh7WOJ_2Yc/s1600-h/after.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073052353884553490" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVIXhuU1M90ArNC__tiu5DIDJcsotrYAtEe2NtrieE5UMU9Rc92-8AN0-RQx6m54daljD48xfj_R9ztC_75stUFm95OHBBkM8Lfjfu0NdVn1kz50LgNJdcRfHs_hT4C7d4SRh7WOJ_2Yc/s320/after.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p align="right"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVIXhuU1M90ArNC__tiu5DIDJcsotrYAtEe2NtrieE5UMU9Rc92-8AN0-RQx6m54daljD48xfj_R9ztC_75stUFm95OHBBkM8Lfjfu0NdVn1kz50LgNJdcRfHs_hT4C7d4SRh7WOJ_2Yc/s1600-h/after.jpg"></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVIXhuU1M90ArNC__tiu5DIDJcsotrYAtEe2NtrieE5UMU9Rc92-8AN0-RQx6m54daljD48xfj_R9ztC_75stUFm95OHBBkM8Lfjfu0NdVn1kz50LgNJdcRfHs_hT4C7d4SRh7WOJ_2Yc/s1600-h/after.jpg"></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVIXhuU1M90ArNC__tiu5DIDJcsotrYAtEe2NtrieE5UMU9Rc92-8AN0-RQx6m54daljD48xfj_R9ztC_75stUFm95OHBBkM8Lfjfu0NdVn1kz50LgNJdcRfHs_hT4C7d4SRh7WOJ_2Yc/s1600-h/after.jpg"></a></p>Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04581991643773626627noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769224850845392075.post-91806369493718553562007-05-31T20:46:00.000-07:002008-12-08T13:53:55.428-08:00Keira and I doing the March of Dimes Walk<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxIRpeYssx4tgLOa9iVqfogDex5HIieDovzdgGzlXshbHwumJAX_KPOFWxwQ_3D1LUxuE8O5Qi0pNlV1Nyeuy2Im2TT1_J5xPznpsJFZ7VIYLcZ8riF0c0Ywv41jDfvLwjC5xSuALoqVBB/s1600-h/HPIM0219.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070941234728040034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxIRpeYssx4tgLOa9iVqfogDex5HIieDovzdgGzlXshbHwumJAX_KPOFWxwQ_3D1LUxuE8O5Qi0pNlV1Nyeuy2Im2TT1_J5xPznpsJFZ7VIYLcZ8riF0c0Ywv41jDfvLwjC5xSuALoqVBB/s320/HPIM0219.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Keira</span> and I thought it'd be a great idea to sign up for the March of Dimes 6 mile walk!
