Kensington Kate

 I took this picture of Kensington in May 2009 (she was 8 months); I took it with my Blackberry and just kept it saved on my phone.  I knew I needed to do something with it because she looks so sweet, so I thought I'd just blog it (yes, 20 months later but oh well).  That's my sweet girl!And then my sweet friend Andrea emailed me this picture today.  Isn't she too precious?!  This was from McDonalds two weeks ago.  She's...

And on his birthday...

 Smith woke up all smiles on his first birthday. He ate a pancake and orange slices for breakfast. He played with his new purple ball. He took his shoes and socks off in the car. He was happy one of Mommy's errands was to the sporting goods store (so he could see the manly stuff). He rode up front in the big car while we grocery shopped. He played endlessly with the matchbox cars his buddy Luke gave him. He...

Happy Birthday Smith William!

Smith William ShullJanuary 18, 201012:30 PM8 pounds, 20 inchesI've said it before and I'll say it again, Smith has been the icing on the cake.  We considered ourselves so blessed to just have Kensington that Smith was bonus.  We were convinced up until the very last second that we were having a girl, Ashby London, so when Dr. Riegel told Andrew to look, we were both very surprised.  (a nurse in the O.R. was surprised too because...
