This is not goodbye....
...It's more of a, "we'll see you REAL soon!"
It's a very bitter-sweet week for us. Our good freinds, Casey, Teissa and their kids Izaac and Bella are leaving Portland for a few years while Casey ventures off into the world of Med School! We are so happy for them and so excited to see what God has in store for them - because it's much bigger than anything we could ever imagine!
Casey and Teissa, living about 2 minutes away from us, have been such a huge part of our lives. Casey and Tony growing up together, Teissa and I meeting when they moved back to Portland after college - they have become a part of our family. We have shared many dinners, breakfasts, running routes, birthdays, holiday parties, weekend getaways, park dates, and much more with them. We have watched eachother as we have all grown in our marriages, celebrating the arrivals of our children, growing in faith together, everything you could ask for in a strong friendship! We will miss them so much!!! But we know they will be so happy! Teissa will be closer to her family, so they have a lot of support where they are going, and they have a ton of support from Portland! So wherever this venture takes them - they have a foundation of love, friendship, support and God!
Teissa's farewell party with the caregroup girls!
Couldn't go with out a picture of the two of us!

The fisherman...
The day Brady was born, Papa Kim came to the hospital with a fishing pole in his hand. This fishing pole has been neatly hanging in Brady's room ever since. Finally, he was able to take it down and start his new found sport of fishing. Brady has been out twice now with Papa Kim. Both times he has caught a fish (we do count the first ittie bittie one). The ones shown in this update were taken on Papa's 60th Birthday. The boys went out and had some good fishin' time!
Thanks Papa!
Thanks Papa!

One Year Ago!
A day we will never forget! A roller coaster of a day it was. The day Kayley Alice-Renee decided it was time to show us who was really boss! Doing things her own way!
I was to be induced that morning, but Kayley decided that she was coming on her own time -water broke about 8 hours before being admitted - after weeks of thinking she would be early!
Many of you may not know how Kayley came into this world - not breathing. For the first 4 1/2 minutes Kayley would not take that first breath of air. I cannot tell you how much of a scary time that was for Tony and I. I tear up every time I think about it, and talk about it. Her first apgar score was a one, meaning pretty much non-responsive. With 7 or 8 nurses working on her, slapping her feet, pulling on all limbs, oxygen over her mouth, all trying to stimulate the little gray, limp body that we loved since we knew we were pregnant. It was a terrifying moment for us - and our mothers who were in the room with us. However, after 4 1/2 minutes, she took that first breath of air - and recovered fully! Apgar score at 5 minutes was a 9! Pretty much meaning fully responsive! What a miracle. We hate to think about what could have been - it's hard not to! Kayley is so full of life, always smiling, such a good spirited baby, that it pains me to think I may not have ever known the Kayley that I know today. It has just really instilled a different kind of faith in God for me - a faith that He is the one in control, He does have plans for us, and that He does perform tiny miracles everyday! Kayley is living proof of that! I know that He has a plan for Kayley - and it will be amazing! Happy Birthday Kayley Bayley - you mean the world to us!
An emotional start, but here she was when I got to hold her for the first time, breathing!
Precious baby!
Right before going in at 1:00 am!
Such a happy mommy!

Happy Anniversary Babe!
Some might say the Seven Year Itch - this is anything but!
One June 1st, we celebrated seven years of wedded bliss! It's been the best 7 years one could ask for! We enjoyed time at the beach house, playing golf, cards, shopping, eating great food, watching the sunset, also enjoying a few wineries along the way - so beautiful!
Thanks babe for making me a better person! I love you!

267 Computer Viruses!
Well - we have been out of commission for a while! And not sure when we will be back up and running! If anyone knows of someone who fixes computers - let us know!
We will get some current pictures up of the kids when we get a chance. Right now we are hoping that we can retrieve pictures from our computer that we don't have backed up somewhere else. What a headache! In the meantime, we are all doing really well! kids are growing so fast!
Hope all is well and we will update as we can!

Happy Easter!
We just got back from one of the best Easter's we have had! The kids and I left a few days early to spend some extra time with my Grandma Alice - who is the most amazing woman I know. She is a woman who lives by her faith, she loves her family and can make you feel like the most important person in her life. She is one of kind and I am so thankful and feel so privledged to be one of her many grandchildren!
Brady was able to attend the Florence Easter egg hunt on Saturday and then Sunday we woke up to his Easter basket that the Easer Bunny left. We had a great breakfast and then went to church with my grandma. After church we went back to her house and started putting together dinner. We had such a great time with Uncle Lynn, Aunt Mary and Cousin Laura! There never is a dull moment between the kids, my dad, aunt Mary and the knowledge and wisdom of uncle Lynn! Thank you for making this such a memorable Easter you guys! We love you!
"Tony - act natural!"
