Answered Prayer~August 23, 2004

I cant believe it has been 6 years since our prayer was answered and our sweet little Kenadee was born!!! This day always brings back such emotions, mainly because it took us quite awhile to become parents. I must say that I am so proud to be Kenadees mommy!!

Here she is the day she was born...and the day we brought her home, one of our first family pictures!!

And Kenadees birth announcement



These pictures were taken about 2 hours after she was born!!

Dear Kenadee,
The day you were born was the happiest day of my life, and daddys too!! The room was filled with emotions, tears (happy ones), and smiles. You were so beautiful and so quiet. You had a cute little button nose, big bright eyes, and lots of dark hair. The day you were born changed our lives forever...our prayers were answered, and we are so grateful for YOU.
And of course we cant forget Whitney and Eric, the most loving, selfless, and giving people we know, thank you!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET GIRL!!!
love you lots,
mom
