New Nephew

Congratulations to Katie and Seth on the birth of a healthy baby boy this morning! He weighed 6 pounds, 15 ounces. He doesn't have a name yet, but I'll post as soon as we know what it is. Addi is very excited to have a new baby cousin!

Update: His name is Charles Michael McDowell. They are going to call him "Charlie."

A Wonderful Christmas




We had a wonderful Christmas in the Kelsey household. I got lots of nice presents and Santa was GREAT to the kids this year. This was one of the most exciting Christmases because the kids were so excited! Although the presents were great, what I enjoyed most was spending time with family. You can see all of our branch of the Couringtons in the picture above.

Now that Christmas is over the kids have been enjoying playing with all of their presents. They didn't even notice that I put some of them up in the closet for a rainy day.
We are praying for the safe arrival of baby McDowell tomorrow!
If I don't post before then, Happy New Year!

It's about time...


It's about time I caught up on some blogging. A lot has happened that I've failed to blog about. I would be amiss if I didn't mention the passing of our dear friend, Lila Mae Hand. She passed away last week after being sick for quite some time. She was like a 3rd grandmother to me. She will be missed by so many people.
Also in sad news, Jared Sanders' cousin, Hadley May, lost her battle with cancer. She was only 3 years old. Although I didn't know her personally, we have prayed for her so many times that I feel sad at her passing. Our prayers continue to be with her family.
Included in this post is a picture of Addi and Levi, along with their cousins, Macy and Andrew. I should have posted pictures from the Thanksgiving trip a while back, but just haven't gotten around to it. Macy and Andrew are both such good kids. We are looking forward to the arrival of Macy's little brother (as far as I know, he doesn't have a name yet) who is scheduled to be born via c-section on December 28th. We'll also being praying for his safe arrival.
Well, the Christmas season is in full swing. We've already had the kids' party at church and we had the church-wide party tonight at Niki's restaurant. It was nice. I'm looking forward to my favorite party of the year, the Christmas party at my parents' house. It will be this coming Sunday night.
Well, I need to go put Addi in bed now. Hope all is well with all of you!

Mommy of a 4 year old!!

It's hard to believe that Addi has been with us for 4 years now! She is turning four today and is very proud of the big 4!! She has even slept all night in her own bed the past 2 nights (quite an accomplishment for her).
The day that Addi was born was the scariest day of my life. I had a very serious condition which caused her to have to be delivered by a very quick c-section. In the end, all was well, and we had the most beautiful, healthy, loving little girl that any two parents could pray for. She brings life to any room that she walks into. We love her more than words can tell and wish her the happiest of birthdays!

Thanksgiving

Well, today is Thanksgiving Day! It seems like we have been anticipating this day in the Kelsey household for quite sometime now. We made it to Oklahoma yesterday, safely, after about 13 1/2 driving hours. We did stop and spend the night and the kids were EXCELLENT in the car!
We are going over to Paul's aunt and uncle's house today for lunch and then everyone will come over here later to celebrate cousin Andrew's and Addi's birthdays! Addi is very excited!
I'm not going to try to list everything I'm thankful for today. I hope that all of our Alabama family knows that we miss them and we are thankful for them daily! We are extra thankful this year to spend some time with Paul's family because it has been 8 months since we have seen them!
My love to everyone back home!

New Blog

Check out my sister-in-law Katie's blog! Yes, I have to sisters-in-law named Katie- this is Katie Courington, my brother's wife and "Hannah's Mommy."

The Iron Bowl


Well, today is the IRON BOWL- for those of you outside the state of Alabama, today is the biggest day of the year in Alabama football. It doesn't matter who has what kind of record, even if both teams haven't had the best season, this game is all that matters! At about 2:3o this afternoon most Alabamians who aren't fortunate to go to the game will be glued to their televisions, including me. Alabama and Auburn will face off for bragging rights for another year. Being raised an Auburn fan, I will be cheering for the orange and blue! No, I'm not going to cry any tears if Auburn loses, but I will be happy if they win!
Paul and Addi have gone to Billy and Mary's to watch the game with my family. I decided to stay home so Levi can get his normal afternoon nap. Plus, I wouldn't really get to watch the game over there for having to chase Levi everywhere! Also, we are going to Rachel and Ben's for Thanksgiving dinner and I need to do a little cooking this afternoon during the game.
Well, that's all for now. I'll post my "Thanksgiving" blog later! We are leaving for Oklahoma on
Tuesday and I might not post again until we get there! Pray we have a safe and noneventful trip!

Update: Auburn wins 22-15! That makes five years in a row!! WARRRRRRR EAGLE!!!!

Happy Birthday!

I won't have the computer at home tomorrow, so I'm posting this a couple of hours early. Happy Birthday to the best mom in the world- MY MOM!

Christmas Picture



We took the kids- Addi, Levi, and Hannah to Portrait Innovations today to get their Christmas pictures made. We were there quite a while and it was quite a challenge! Getting Levi to sit down was hard enough, much less getting all three to look at the camera and smile at the same time! Considering all the factors, I think we got some pretty good shots! Hope you enjoy!

Lovely Weekend


I had a lovely weekend! First of all, I know I didn't post any Halloween pictures, but you can see one of Paul and the kids on Paul's Blog.
Friday, Rachel hosted "girls night in" at her house. We ate taco soup (way too much of it) and sat and talked for hours. It was nice. I managed to go without either of the kids. Addi went to the Pleasant Grove football game and Paul kept Levi.
Saturday, Rachel, Emily, Pam, Katie, Hannah, Addi and I went to Christmas Village at the BJCC. It's an arts and crafts show and it's huge! We walked for about 6 hours! My legs were aching at the end of the day! Addi was excited because she got to see Santa. She only asked for two things- a time-out chair and a guitar. Santa kinda chuckled on the time-out chair and asked her if she would use it a lot to which she replied "yes!" Paul's theory is that she thinks if she gets a time-out chair (which she saw in the ABC catalog) she won't get any more spankings! (Which she hardly ever gets anyway) The picture above is from Christmas Village. I haven't been able to scan the one of her and Santa, but hopefully will later. I did get several Christmas presents bought today so that was good!
When I got home last night I realized Levi was running a fever of about 102.6. I'm afraid he may have a sinus infection or ear infection. He keeps grabbing his face and one of his ears. We'll probably go visit Dr. Smith tomorrow. His fever seems to have broken so it may have just been a virus. We'll see how he's feeling in the morning.
We started a gospel meeting this morning at church. Paul stayed with Levi since I teach cradle roll and his class was meeting in the auditorium anyway.
This afternoon Addi and I went to Disney on Ice. Grammy and PaPa bought our tickets for Addi's birthday! Thanks, Grammy and PaPa! We got our tickets with our friends Emily, Pam, and Xander (who Addi says is her very best friend). Addi had a blast, but covered her eyes at the "scary parts" like pinnochio being swallowed by a HUGE whale, the sharks in Nemo, the beast, and the fighting in Mulan. The picture below (although you can't even tell where we are) is from Disney on Ice today.

Since Christmas Village, I'm starting to get in the holiday spirit!!! We are really looking forward to spending some time with Paul's family in Oklahoma for Thanksgiving and then we'll be spending the Christmas holidays in sweet home Alabama!
Hope you all have a great week!! (if anyone's even reading this)

Where do I start????

It has been so long since I blogged, I don't even know where to start!!! Well, I guess I should start with the most interesting thing that has happened lately. We went to Gatlinburg Friday with my parents and friends, Kent and Phyllis Garrison. We stayed in a very nice house on the VERY TOP of the mountain. Literally, we were a ten minute drive UP from "Ober Gatlinburg." That should tell you something! We made it up to the house fine, but our first trip down the mountain was quite traumatic. As we reached the bottom of Ski Mountain road, we were starting to smell smoke. Mom (who was driving even though she really didn't want to) rolled the window down to see how bad the smoke was. When she rolled the window down a guy who was walking down the sidewalk starting hollering, "You're car is on fire!!!" We thought he must have been referring to the smoke of the hot brakes, but when we stopped and got out we realized the van literally was on FIRE!!! Luckily, Kent and Phyllis (an avid bottled water drinker) were behind us. Phyllis had several bottles of water in her van which we were able to toss on the fire and get it out quickly. Dad called 911 and we became acquainted with the Gatlinburg Fire Department. Although the fire was out by the time they got there, they checked it out to make sure the fire was out and then informed us that the van would be okay to drive and that we should have put it in a lower gear to come down the mountain. (It would have been nice to know that before the fire). We decided just to park the van at Gatlinburg Church of Christ and Kent and Phyllis let us ride with them the rest of the weekend! (Let me also mention that we had just had the brakes worked on a week prior to this event- $310 worth of work-I'm taking it back to get it checked out tomorrow, but they aren't doing any paid work to it-Josh said he would put new brakes on if necessary!)
That definitely put a damper on the whole weekend, but we still had some fun and the kids had a blast! At least it wasn't as bad as the van in the picture above!
In news prior to the vacation trip, a couple of weeks ago I messed up something in my back and stayed in bed for about a week. It was awful, but luckily Paul was able to take a few days off and was a huge help.
Also, our dear 1994 Dodge Shadow has bit the dust. We're not exactly sure what is wrong with it, but it is overheating when driven. It was smoking, but at least it wasn't up in flames! If it costs much to fix it, we're going to be a one car family for a while until we can pay cash and get a second car (probably in January or February).
In today's news- As I put Levi on the changing table this morning to change his diaper, the changing table caved in. The wood where the top screws in is broken, so I don't think it can be fixed.
Also in today's news, I decided that I was getting back on the treadmill (I kind of took a break after the back incident). I was walking at a pretty good pace when I decided to step off for a second to turn the volume up on the tv. As I stepped off, Addi came in the room. I said, "Don't get on the treadmill!" Well, she must have missed the "don't" part. She stepped on it and got slung into the floor, her chin hitting the treadmill and getting a very nice strawberry on her chin!
Are the Kelseys having a spell of bad luck? Sure. But all of these things could have been MUCH, MUCH worse. And this week is my birthday so I'm not going to let all of these things get to me!!!
Well, I guess that's all for now. I'll try to post some pictures from our trip to Gatlinburg later. Bye!
One more thing: In some good news I did lose 7.4 lbs at my last Weight Watchers weigh-in. WOO HOO!

Tuesday News

Addi's soccer team won again tonight! They are undefeated at 4-0!!! Addi actually made a pass that led to a goal tonight! Yay Addi!!! She also got to throw the ball in twice and kick it in once. Her coach does a good job at trying to let everyone get a turn.
In other news, PaPa Courington was moved to the nursing home today. It is hard to see, but the home he is in is very nice and very clean. He seemed to be doing some better today. The kids got to go see him today and they were happy about that. When Levi came in the room PaPa said, "There's my pretty boy!" Alzheimer's has to be the most evil disease. It takes your loved one from you, yet their body remains here. It's been very hard to explain to Addi that PaPa is sick. Up until recently, he has been able to walk around and to her he didn't appear sick. I think today is the first day she realized that he really is sick. She still enjoyed going to the nursing home and seeing PaPa.
MaMa is staying with Mom and Dad for now. I know this is a tough change for her, but I think she's enjoying getting to go to all of Addi's soccer games. She was cheering as loud as she could tonight!

Monkey Boy


Levi has to be the busiest little fella around! He loves to "monkey around" on the couch. Yes, he has fallen off a couple of times, but he still hasn't learned his lesson! For a while now he will get on the couch or bed and holler, "Jump! Jump!" I always know what he's doing because he announces it! Now he's decided that jumping isn't adventurous enough- he want to turn flips!!! He hasn't actually flipped over yet, but it's only a matter of time.

How long is Addi's hair??????

As far as inches go, I'm not sure how long Addi's hair is. I know one thing-it's LONG! Here is a picture of the back of her head in the bathtub tonight. It seems like it has grown 3 or 4 inches in the last week!!!!! For those of you who don't see Addi on a regular basis, her hair barely touches her shoulders when it's dry! It's amazing how long it is when it's stretched out or wet!

9 years ago today...

9 years ago today, Paul surprised me at Freed-Hardeman and proposed to me. I think my answer to his proposal was, "Of course I will!" and I still feel that way today! Deciding to marry Paul was one of the best decisions I've ever made and I have never regretted that decision. He's my best friend and my biggest supporter. I love you, honey!!!

Tagged!

Well, Paul tagged me and I refused to follow up. But then my preacher friend Adam called me a "fuddy-duddy" so I figured if a preacher calls you a "fuddy-duddy" maybe I should lighten up a little.
Here are 8 weird things about me:
1. I almost died when my oldest child, Addi, was born. I had a rare disease called Fatty Liver Disease of Pregnancy. It only occurs in as few as 1 in 20,000 births. I have memory loss from the whole ordeal and I think I had post traumatic stress disorder too (that is self-diagnosis).
2. I met my husband on the internet. (Yes, I know that's not weird anymore, but it was weird when we met in 1996!).
3. I'm a preacher's kid who never moved until I went to college. (Now that is weird).
4. My child acted so bad in church that there had to be an elders meeting following the event!
5. I don't like any kind of pea or bean. Not a single kind. So don't e-mail me and say, "Not even green beans?" NO, not even green ones! Yuck.
6. I had my gallbladder removed when Addi was 5 weeks old. And now I can't eat anything with sesame seeds in it without having to visit a bathroom within 10 minutes. Unfortunately, that includes two of my favorite foods- sesame chicken from Shanghai Chinese Restaurant and Big Macs!
7. I'm addicted to myspace.
8. I homeschool my 16 year old cousin.

Well, I'm not sure if all that's weird enough....but there you go.

And the winner is.....




I just have to post that my husband was named "Teacher of the Month" at Pleasant Grove Elementary School this month!! Since this is the first month they've done this, it is quite an honor. I am very proud of him! He works extremely hard and it's about time he got some recognition for it! Teachers were nominated by students' parents. Paul was not only nominated by some of this year's parents, but also by parents from years past. What a nice compliment!!
Paul got a nice arrangement of flowers from a local florist and there will be a picture of him in a local newspaper called the "Western Star." (Although I must admit that when I saw Paul coming up to the front door with the flowers, I thought I was being rewarded for the wonderful wife that I am). :-)
Way to go hubby!!!

"I'm Hungry!!!!"

Tonight I'll share a story from last week. About a half hour after lunch, Addi came into the living room and declared, "I'm hungry! Will you get me something to eat?" I said, "Addi, you just ate lunch. Wait about an hour and I'll get you a snack." Then she informed me, "But I'm really hungry! I'll show you I'm hungry!!!" She then pulled me off the couch and drug me into the kitchen where she proceeded to step on the scales! She said, "Look! It says 'Addi is hungry!'" Couldn't resist her after that- had to give her the snack!
In other weight related news, I lost 2.6 lbs at Weight Watchers this week. I lost 1.6 last week so I'm finally headed back in the right direction. I'm back at my lowest since I started WW, which is nice after having several weeks of up, down, up, down, up. I've been more motivated since I bought a treadmill at a yard sale and have been getting more exercise.

Early Tuesday Morning

Hi Everybody. It's been a while since I blogged, and I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd drop in and say hi.
We had a pretty rough weekend. Levi wasn't on his best behavior at church Sunday (I'll leave out the horrifying details). It's so easy to become discouraged, even when you know you're doing what's right. Thankfully, no matter what, I have God and Paul on my side. I guess instead of focusing on the negative I should read my own post on "Thanksgiving" and be thankful for those in my life that are on my side.

Proud Cousin!


Addi was so excited because she finally got to hold Hannah today!

PROUD Aunt!!!


Hi Everybody! Hannah is finally here!!!! She made her arrival a little after 10 p.m. tonight, August 23rd. She weight 8 pounds 4 ounces and she is beautiful!!!! She has a headful of black hair!!!
Here is a picture of the proud mommy and daddy with little Hannah. We left so Katie could feed her and we'll go back tomorrow and get to hold her! We are all so excited that she is healthy and everything went so smoothly!!!

Soccer Mom



Well, I guess I'm officially a "soccer mom" now! Addi had practice tonight at 6. She did GREAT!!! No, as you can see from the video above, she's not the best soccer player in the world. In fact, she's not very good at all. I was just proud that she stayed with her team for the whole hour and didn't ask to come off the field or "go potty." As you can see in the picture below, she did take a few "breaks" with her new found friend! I'm sure her skills will improve with time. I'm just proud of how well she did for her first day! And most importantly, she had a BLAST!!!

Friday, August 18, 2006

My Lucky Day!

Paul, Addi, Levi, and I went to Free Friday Flicks tonight in Homewood Park. Before the movie, which was Ice Age 2 tonight, they draw for prizes. I won 4 tickets to Six Flags over Georgia!! Woo hoo! Addi has been wanting to go since the youth from church went and she didn't get to go. So she is excited that we will be able to go now! Tickets are almost 50 bucks a piece now if you buy them at the gate! Levi won't have to have a ticket so cousin Jasmine will probably get to go on a "field trip" day!






In other news, baby Hannah still hasn't made her arrival. Although her due date isn't until Thursday, we are all ready to meet her!!! Katie's last day of work was today and I know she's glad....maybe she will get a little rest before Hannah comes.

Have a great weekend!!!

Thanksgiving

Yes, I know it's not November. I was just sitting here (almost midnight and Addi is still up because she took a nap at 8 p.m.) thinking about how lucky I am. I want to thank my loyal blog readers for all their support. I am so blessed to have the most understanding, helpful, hardworking husband that I know. I have two beautiful, healthy children. I am blessed to be able to spend my time taking care of them and not leaving them with strangers all day.
I have parents that have always been there for me, no matter what. They have been the best examples, although I haven't always followed the great example that they set- they love me anyway. I also have a wonderful mother-in-law and father-in-law who treat me like one of their own. Who could ask for more?
I have Rachel, a friend found later in my FHU days, but a best friend that will last a lifetime. Always just a phone call, e-mail, or text message away.
I have two wonderful brothers who are now joined by two wonderful sister-in-laws. I have two sisters-in-law, two brothers-in-law, a niece and a nephew on Paul's side that although we don't see them much, they're always just an e-mail away and also an encouragement to me. (As an added note, we found out today that we are getting a new nephew- congratulations "Oklahoma Katie"!)
I also have Jasmine and Alex (who I feel like are just as close as brother and sister), not to mention Billy and Mary and everything they mean to us.
Last but not least I am still lucky to have two of my grandparents. I guess that's part of what got me to thinking about all of this. Because of the evil disease of Alzheimer's and our constant reminder of it, it just helps me to remember that you should always tell people how much they mean to you while you still have a chance. Life is short so don't let those that mean so much to you go without knowing how you feel about them.
Although I can't name everyone, I guess what I'm saying is that I feel very blessed to be surrounded by people who love me for me and you just shouldn't wait for special occasions to tell people how much they mean to you. SO- even if your name isn't here, if you're reading this, you are probably one of those special people in my life and I love you.

Better now!

Well, the Kelsey household is back to well baby status! Yea! Levi did end up getting sick, but didn't have the blisters in his mouth and throat like Addi. Now we are all getting excited about the upcoming (any day now) arrival of cousin Hannah!
I'm going to try to upload a video I took while we were stuck at home last week!

Tuesday, August 08, 2006

Still sick

Well, Addi is still quite sick. She has coxsackie virus with herpangina (I think I got that right). In layman's terms she has a bunch of blisters in her mouth and throat. She is not sleeping well and hollered a lot throughout the night last night. I hope she gets better soon. We are also hoping that baby Hannah doesn't decide to come until we all get better so we can all go see her at the hospital! I'm sure Katie is hoping otherwise, but I guess we'll just see how it goes. I remember that when cousin Jasmine was born Josh and Daniel had the chicken pox and didn't get to see her in the hospital.
On a funnier note, Addi got into one of her philosophical discussions about heaven before we went to bed last night. Addi said, "When we get to heaven will we take our milk with us?" I explained that in heaven we would have everything we need. She said, "God probably has LOTS of milk then." After thinking a minute or so she said, "And he probably has a microwave!" (Most of you know that at age 3, Addi decided she likes her milk warmed up- in the microwave- before she drinks it!)
Well, remember us in your prayers that Addi will get better soon and Levi will be spared this horrible virus.

This time it was aisle 7............

One of the greatest joys of motherhood has to be the dreaded stomach virus. Just kidding of course. Addi has been battling some kind of bug the past couple of days. Temperature got up to 104.1 at one point yesterday. But back to the title of this post. Addi and I went to Target yesterday afternoon and that's when this lovely virus hit....when she vomited on aisle 7. Embarrassed once again, I found an employee and told them what had happened. Meanwhile, Addi was crying and hollering, "Please don't let anybody step in it!" She has been quite pitiful. I guess I say, "Bless your heart" a lot when she is sick because at one point last night she said, "Mommy, will you please bless my heart."
She seems to be feeling some better today although she was quite upset about missing church. When I explained to her that she couldn't go because she might get someone else sick, she said, "But why can't I get everyone else sick? They will miss me."
Hopefully she will continue to feel better. We have soccer "tryouts" (they just see the kids to pick teams) on Tuesday evening. I'll try to take some pictures to post later.

"We have a spill in line 3!"

Those were the words that this mother won't forget for quite a while....We had to stop by Hill's last night after church to pick up a couple of things. While we were on the last aisle, Addi said, "Mommy, I need to go tee tee." WELL, I didn't know there was a bathroom available to the public so I told her just to hold it because we would be home in about 5 minutes. Well, while we were in line checking out, the pressure became more than Addi could bare so she peed right in the floor! And it wasn't just a little bit. I was so embarrassed and told the girl checking us out that if she would find the mop I would gladly clean it up. But instead she gets on the intercom and says, "We need a clean up for a spill in line 3!" Oh how embarrassing...

Wow- What a Weekend!!!



Well, as you can see I'm awake on a Saturday night at almost 1 a.m.! Why? Because I think I now have my days and nights mixed up, thanks to a lock-in at church on Friday night. Addi and I stayed up all night long! She didn't go to sleep until about 6:05 a.m.!!!! I couldn't believe it. When everyone settled down to eat breakfast, Addi came walking across the room to me and she was asleep while she was walking! She was a real trooper and didn't hardly fuss at all!
Yesterday, or I guess actually today (it's 12:55 p.m. as I type this) we went to a party at Pump it Up in Trussville for Jared's and Joseph's very merry unbirthdays! It was really fun and the kids had a blast. I think the adults had more fun though!
Paul has some new pictures from the party on his blog and I'm including one here- this
picture is Levi and cousin Alex sliding on the slide at Pump it Up. We had so much fun and a special thanks to the Glenns and Sanders for inviting us!!!

Here's also a picture of Addi at about 6:10 a.m. yesterday morning at the lock-in! She was worn out!!!

Levi Reads the Birmingham News!


I always thought Levi was very intelligent, but this takes the cake! Paul had a copy of today's Birmingham News and Levi helped himself to it from the end table. Yes, Levi is in his walker. Yes, he knows how to walk. His "walker" won't actually move on our carpet so it's one of the only ways we can keep him in one place for a few minutes! Hope you all enjoy!

Another Boring Post

Well, Paul has been bugging me to create a new post, so here it is. I guess a lot has happened since my last post, but most of it isn't worth mentioning. We had a nice 4th of July. Spent it at Mom and Dad's and then went to see the fireworks on red mountain. Last Wednesday night I spent the night in Parrish, AL with my grandparents. That was quite the adventure!
The weight watchers thing hasn't been going great. I actually gained 3.4 pounds in one week last week! Ugh! I've done better this week and hope to have lost some of that I gained. On the other hand, Paul has lost 20 pounds in the last 4 weeks! Go Paul! He's really been exercising a lot and eating right! I'm trying to steal some of his motivation, but it hasn't quite worked yet.
Addi spent Sunday and Monday night at Granna and Gramps' house. She kind of makes me feel bad because she never wants to come home. Mom said that when they started to bring her she said, "But why do you have to take me home?" She was very excited when she got home and realized I had cleaned her room for her though! Levi, on the other hand, is quite happy to be home most all the time!
Well, that's all my rambling for now.............

Pictures of Kids at World of Coca-Cola



I'm going to attempt to share a couple of pictures....these were taken a couple of weeks ago when we went to the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta.

Our Friday Night

We had a very nice Friday family night. We met up with Daniel, Mandi, Josh, and Katie at New York Pizza for supper tonight. We had veggie pizza on whole wheat dough which was very good and a little better on the diet. We had planned to go to Free Friday Flicks, but when we came out of the restaurant there was some pretty vivid lightning. So- we decided we'd head indoors to go see the movie "Cars." BUT- we passed Chuck E. Cheese's on the way, so we decided to stop there for a while instead. Addi was happy mostly playing in the tunnel area, which was even better because you don't have to keep dropping quarters like crazy! Levi had a blast too. He was ecstatic about the free balloon he got when we left. Addi was scared he was going to pop it, but he didn't. He LOVES balloons.
Well, enough rambling for now....I doubt anyone's still reading anyway........

My First Blogging Experience!

Well, where do I start? Paul and Rachel both have blogs. I felt left out, so here I am. Posting my first post on my very own blog!!!
I'm sure I won't keep things updated as well as Paul, but I'll give this a shot.
My name is Kim Kelsey. I have two beautiful children- Addi (age 3) and Levi (age 17 months). This blog will most definitely be primarily dedicated to them and their stories, quotes, and pictures. They are my life and I'm sure this blog will reflect that. Anyway, that's all for my first post.......stay tuned................
