With heavy hearts, we headed up north to Redding to spend time with family and attend services for Papalew. We were a little nervous about taking a newborn on the road, but Kai did absolutely GREAT! And we made good time!!
My family had to say goodbye to my sweet Papalew last week. My dads dad was such a fun man! As a kid, my memories of him include him and Mamalew taking us to the zoo and playing at the park and riding bikes! I know he loved his grandkids! We all have a special place for him in our hearts. The hardest part was seeing my dad and Mamalew go through the process of losing him. My heart goes to them and my Aunts who have to know their father is no longer with us. With heavy hearts, we headed up north to Redding to spend time with family and attend services for Papalew. We were a little nervous about taking a newborn on the road, but Kai did absolutely GREAT! And we made good time!! We had lunch with my sweet friend! And her adorable kiddies! Keane and Rio are a little less than a year apart and they are just so cute together!!! We loved playing with the idea that their friendship would someday blossom to something more. Although, they have no idea what we're giggling about! HAHA! I had an eye dr. appointment while I was in town and I had to play with the frames and the kiddos!! Amia LOVES her new cousin!! We had a little family photo shoot at the lake. Can't really share the good ones, but here is some teasers and pics of the kids! Casey's birthday!! So glad it worked out that we could be there and celebrate with him! The kids playing around We had sometime that night for dinner and relax time with family. My cousin is having her first baby and since I was in town, I got to crash her shower! It was so BEAUTIFUL-just perfect for a beautiful mother-to-be! The visit did go pretty fast and it was hard to have to say goodbye! We truly love our family in Redding and hope to get another visit soon and with happier circumstances! Getting a little big of play time in before we hit the road.

Keane and I got to sneak away last weekend to Redding to visit some family! Keane had a chance to meet aunties, uncles, cousins and great grandparents on my dads side! It was really nice! First day, my girlfriend Katie and her daughter Rio (such a fun name!) come hang out! Saturday morning Keane played on his little chair my parents bought! He loved it!! He sat on it throughout the visit there! Carnival Craziness!! Saturday was a circus themed baby shower for Caleb! It was really fun! My mom and Shelby's mom did a really good job! Our last day was Sunday and before we left we had some family time! Went back to my parents and Keane got some play time! Keane and I had to head back to LA. The lady at the check in counter gave my parents passes to walk us to the gate!! It was so nice!! Now we are home and missing everyone!! Can't wait to meet our new niece in March!! =D
Sorry for so much talk about our week last week, but that's what happens when we have three cameras involved! These pictures are from Laine's camera. These first few are from his camera for awhile ago. Well, we had such a fun time!! This was actually my first time to have a one-on-one photo op with Mickey!! Keane seemed to enjoy it too!! hehe!!
Keane is eating solids like a big boy!! He's almost full on crawling! He's got the army crawl down very well! He loves to "crawl" for things he's NOT supposed to have, like the cords next to the television set, or the shoe area. It's so much fun!! Even though I am COMPLETELY exhausted from chasing him around, I absolutely LOVE to see him move to what he's curious about! You can already see his adventurous spirit! His fun and sweet personality shines everywhere we go! He's our biggest blessing!! Thank you Jesus so much for our baby boy! Thank you for his curious heart, and sweet smile! Lord, teach us how to raise this son of Yours the way You want him to be taught. Give us your wisdom and help us to lead him towards You and nowhere else. In your Holy name~Amen <3 So I got to upload the pics from my own camera! Keane got to meet a friend of his at church! So cute!! We could be seeing a lifelong friendship here!! ha! Meet Keane... Meet Jonah... Keane and Jonah meet... Keane and Jonah play... Keane plays with Jonah!! My parents and brother, Casey came to visit this last week for the holiday and to celebrate my birthday. It was so nice to have them here! The visit went way too fast!! Casey was such a big help! And I think Keane loved to have time bonding with his sweet uncle!! 4th of July was so much fun!! We spent the day at the beach with Laine! The next day we headed to Disneyland!! Keane's second trip there and my birthday celebration!! A walk through Pixie Hollow
Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years! We were so blessed this year with the family visiting! It was a great time of hanging out and lots of yummy eating. It was some well needed fellowship for all of us! HAPPY ONE MONTH TO OUR SON!! Can't believe it's been a month! Keane is growing and healthy! He's just blowing us away every day with his sweet coo's, and his overall awesomeness ;) Being that his one month birthday fell on New Years, we thought we'd do a quick visit with our neighors, the Toni/y's and crash their New Years Eve Party! Keane, of course, got lots of attention from his Aunties and Uncles!! We are excited to see how he's doing at our next check up and will keep you all posted on the info!
Love you all and God Bless!! |
