Happy Birthday, Paul!!!


Happy Birthday today to the best husband in the world!!! That's right- Paul turns 33 today. He already knows this, but his birthday present from me is the gift of some time alone!!! Yippee!! We are going to Atlanta Friday night to stay at the Sheraton and then to the Georgia Aquarium on Saturday. I don't know if the gift is for him or partly for myself, but either way, we are looking forward to it! A special thanks to Josh and Katie and Jared and Emily for so graciously volunteering to take the kids for the night! And say a special prayer for them, especially J & E because they will have Levi!
Another side note- This month Levi is 3, Paul is 33, and Lila is 3 months!! It's a month for threes!!
Happy Birthday to my best friend!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Levi!!!!

I can't believe Levi turns three today!! You can see below how much he has grown!!! I can't put into words how much Levi means to me and all of our family. He brings life to our household like noone else! I can't say he's outgrown the terrible two's yet, but I have hope for this year!!! He is so vibrant and loving. I can see how much he's grown in the past three years and can only imagine what the next three will bring!! We are having a birthday party at our house Sunday night for him and I'll try to post pictures of that later! Happy Birthday and I love you, Little Man!!!!!

The White Stuff!!


Well, it's no "winter wonderland" but we did get a little snow this morning, enough for the kids to make snowballs and a small snowman! We had to cancel our church retreat, but hope to reschedule for next weekend! The kids have had a blast playing! Alex spent the night last night which only added to the excitement! The roads here are clear, but may refreeze overnight. I guess we'll see! I'll try to update again tomorrow because tomorrow is Levi's birthday! He'll be THREE!!!!

Three Months Old!!


I can't believe our sweet baby Lila is three months old today!!! This picture really shows her true character- smiley! She is the most laid-back, sweet little baby I have ever seen! She rarely ever fusses and when she does it's because there's something wrong. She has only been part of our family for three short months, but it already seems like she has been here forever! She has been such a blessing to us already. Sometimes she just takes my breath away. I love her so much!!! Happy Three Months Day, Lila Victoria Kelsey!!!

2008, Here we are!!!

Well, 2008 is here and I haven't blogged in a while!!! We are doing well. We had a great Christmas, even though part of the holidays were plagued by a stomach virus for Levi, Addi, Paul and myself! Luckily, Lila has been spared so far!
The kids got so much stuff for Christmas it is ridiculous!! They are loving the ride-on toys from Gramps and Granna and all their other goodies!
I took Levi to the dr. yesterday and he has bronchitis. He doesn't feel well, but seems some better today.
I started back to Weight Watchers last week...I lost 7.6 pounds this week! Woo hoo! I guess I'll try to update my weight loss here on the blog as a means of accountability!
Today, Addi and I went to see Annie in the Broadway Across America series. It was awesome!! We had a great time!! This was my Christmas present from Paul and the kids and I couldn't have picked out anything better myself!
Paul goes back to work tomorrow *sigh*. I have enjoyed having him home as he is a GREAT help to me!
What will 2008 bring for us? Who knows! There are a few things I am already looking forward to this year. First of all, Paul and I will, Lord willing, celebrate our 10th anniversary in May of 2008. Also, the whole Kelsey family is taking a vacation to Branson, Missouri in June. We are already looking forward to that! In August, our baby will start kindergarten *another sigh*. I will miss having Addi at home with me every day, but I know it's time for her to get out there in the world and get the education she needs to be the successful woman I know she will be! I already have feelings of excitement for her!
We pray that this year will bring a liver transplant for my Aunt Mary. And we pray for good health for all our friends and family! Happy New Year everyone!!
