Last weekend was Delaney's first trip to Momma and Papa Dee's house. I think everyone was more excited than she was!



Earlier this week, Granny brought over a baby gift from her long time friend Eloise. She made a blanket for Delaney. It is yellow and white checked on one side, then has ducks on the other. She put Delaney's name, birth date, and birth weight on the blanket. Eloise also made a blanket for Kenna when she was born as well as Andrew. Kari and I also have similar blankets with our names on them!


Delaney and Kenna were laying on the floor together "playing" on Delaney's new blanket. It is amazing to watch McKenna and she how much she loves her sister. It is also unbelievable how little Delaney is compared to Kenna! I also had to take a picture of the girls with each of their blankets!


This past week has been a big week for McKenna. She went to bible school at church for the first time. She was pretty worried about mommy leaving the first night. Poor Tony was in the car with Delaney who was crying and I was in the church with McKenna who was crying. I was finally able to get out when they called her name to go with her class (of course after calling Tony in for reinforcement!) Overall, I think Kenna had a great time meeting new friends, learning songs, and coloring pictures. Thursday night our friends Bill, Melissa, and their son JP came over and brought us dinner. They brought Kenna the roller skates in the picture. She looked hilarious with her dress on and roller skates!

Friday night was the parent program for bible school. Kenna wasn't too cure about standing up and singing in front of everyone so I had to go up to the front row to try to keep her there. She would stand and sing a while, then run back to where mom, Tony and Delaney were. I later found out she kept making sure mom had her hymnal open and was "singing along". One time, I guess she went back for "lips" (aka chapstick). You know a girl needs her make-up when she performs!



Kenna's favorite song had some cute hand motions. She was turned sideways so I really couldn't get a good front picture of what she was doing but it was cute to watch!

We spent some time at the lake this weekend and Kenna was able to play with Jaila. They had fun running around, swimming, and playing in the sand. On friday Tony, Joey, Kenna, Jaila and Jackson went on the boat and got a ride on the tube. I wish I would have been there to get pictures but I was at a retreat with some of my coworkers. They had a great surprise for Delaney and I when they brought out a cake and had a little baby shower!

Kenna had fun sharing her baby sister with Jaila who will also be getting a little sister in December!
When I was putting Kenna in the car to go between lake houses, I heard a thump on the car door. I looked up to see a male hummingbird buzzing around my head. He quickly flew off and when I shut I the car door, I saw this little hummingbird in the grass. I think she was still alive but I didn't want to touch her to find out.

Yesterday, Grandma Dee, Bobby, and Amy were on their way home from Hartford City and stopped at Angelas to see everyone. Of course, they loved getting time to hold Delaney!



Also yesterday afternoon we had a little barbeque at mom and dads. Kenna had a great time playing with Andrew! Dad was post command in the evening so we packed up everyone about 6pm, stopped for ice cream, and had a little party while we visited Papa!
