Weekend

Well, my camera battery was almost gone all weekend and I always forgot to recharge it when I got home...so I have a few, but not too many pictures to show for this weekend, just a couple stories and updates.

Friday - a pretty normal day. Kegan and I just stayed busy running some errands that morning and playing that afternoon and evening...and anyone who has been around Kegan for even a little bit could tell you that just a day of playing with him and trying to keep up with Kegan is quite a day...an active day!

Saturday - Kegan and I ran some errands around town that morning and then went to meet Matthew out in the fields so Kegan could "help" his daddy cut some grain. Kegan of course, had a blast!

We left the fields around 4:30 to get ready for that evening.

I supposed Kegan decided he needed to get dressed up to...

In case you missed it in the above picture...look at his feet!

Matthew and I were getting ready and Kegan went into our closet...got this box of shoes down and came out wearing one high-heel and trying to get the other one on. After a moment of laughing, we of course had to go get the camera, make sure both shoes were own and take a photo to remember this "proud" moment in our sons life. He is so funny...keeps us laughing!

Kegan was getting to go over to our neighbors house for the evening (Kegan was excited about this because he was going to get to play with their 8 year old, son, Alex...Kegan just loves being around other guys) while Matthew and I went out with his family for some wonderful food, to honor Grandad and celebrate his 80th birthday.

A few pictures from the birthday dinner. (Like I said...my camera batter was blinking at me, so there are not many..at all!)

The birthday man himself, FULL of life!

Make a wish Grandad!

We had a very nice dinner out with everyone. How great it is to celebrate a long life of a loved one. Just a few words about Grandad for those of you who have not met him. His motto, Matthew once told me, is that "You are only as old as you feel." He is certainly a man who exemplifies that. He loves life and he loves living and enjoying every bit of life! We look forward to getting to celebrate many more years of his life and enjoying all the laughs and good times he always brings, along the way! We love you!

That evening when Matthew and I went to go pick Kegan up for the neighbors we were told they had a blast that night with Kegan and that he was such a blessing for them to watch. (PHEW!) Shelia told me that he had them laughing all night, used his manners and was so well behaved (PHEW...again!). She also said he played so well with her son Alex, and the neighbor boy Cody (PHEW). Then...here is a bragging moment...she told me what a smart boy he was, and how good of a vocabulary he had and how clear his words were...(BEAMING mom moment!) Anyways, all-in-all Shelia and her husband both said Kegan was welcomed back anytime, and I think he would be willing to go, too - he looked like he had a blast and was having a blast when we got there.

Sunday morning we got up, went to church and then Kegan and I headed to the Setliff's to spend some more time with the family while Gandad and Madeline were in town and Matthew headed to the fields.

This morning we woke up to some disappointing news to Matthew - it had rained on his fields during the night or early morning so he would not be able to get out there and finish the field he was working on (for a farmer this is not good when there are possibilities of showers and two hurricanes in the Atlantic). Like always though, we KNOW the LORD WILL provide and take care of us! Now, it was disappointing to Matthew, but Kegan and I were happy because we got to spend time with him today! (Again...no battery...no pictures)

Tomorrow Kegan starts his first day of school. (The camera is being charged so I can get some pictures of his first day.) It will be interesting to see how it goes...well let's be honest...to see how many weeks it will take till he stops crying. I am hoping he will surprise us all and walk right in, with no tears, and we will be good to go...hoping...but not counting on it...haha!

Till those updates come...
