One-Year Pictures

We had Kaitlyn's First year pictures made a few days before her birthday so that we could have them back in time for her party. In a short version, we are happy with these pictures, but it took two different settings and photographers to finally capture something that was decent. So, if you all have any suggestions on some where to start taking her I would GREATLY appreciate it. We just don't want to struggle with getting good pictures and felling like we are being rushed through like a fast food restaurant.

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!!!

It is so hard to think that an entire year has passed since our lives were so richly blessed with our Princess Kaitlyn. I can still remember the day that we found out that we were finally pregnant, as if it were yesterday. Kaitlyn's pregnancy was such an amazing experience and a joy to go through. We loved preparing for her arrival. On her first birthday I kept remembering her birthday a year ago. Marion and I arrived at the "Pink Palace" at 7:00a.m for our induction. On the way in to the hospital Marion looked over at me and said, " this will be the last day that it is just you and me." We both smiled and said how exciting!!! At 6:00p.m on January 8th, 2008, Miss Kaitlyn McKenzie was born weighing 7lbs, 5oz. She had the fattest cheeks you had ever seen, but they were AWESOME for kissing. This year has been the most amazing year of our lives! Kaitlyn is such a ham. She loves to showoff when she laughs and dances. She loves to snuggle and give kisses. She will talk you ear off, even though the words are not in English :o) She loves to try to catch the cats (even though they won't let her). Kaitlyn has such a zeal for life and love to discover new things. She is such a happy little girl and loves her family. Her favorite thing is her "lovie" which is her blanket. She carries it around the house and refuses to go to bed without it. We love her silly faces and her sweet disposition. Thank you God for blessing us with far more than we ever hoped for or imagined in a child. Kaitlyn you are such an incredible little girl and we are so honored to be you parents.
