I know...about once every year, I remember I have a blog in the first place and I update it. Maybe I should set a reminder to update the blog. I have grown to love Instagram so much that that's where I do most of my memory keeping. I really love it now that it magically connects to this fabulous little space called <a href="http://www.chatbooks.com/" target="_blank">Chatbooks</a> and creates a lovely book out of all my Insta posts! If you're anything like me and often feel mommy-guilt about not creating these fabulous-real-picture-and-handwriting-scrapbooks, please check out Chatbooks. You won't regret it! And your mommy guilt will subside (well, until you see someone pull out their real picture memory book...but don't worry...you'll quickly get over it).<br />
<br />
We are in a season of life where we are listening to our now 9 and 4 year olds arguing one minute and being sweet the next. If you have children, you've been here. So...does it ever stop? Wait, I remember my relationship with my brother (who's 6 years my senior)...so I can answer the question for myself in the memory of my parents telling us to draw an invisible line between each other in the car on the way to church on Sundays. Ha! When the moments are good, they're very good. And when they're not...I just breathe through them (kind of like I breathed through contractions).<br />
<br />
Since my last post (less than a year ago--not by much, but still less than a year ago), we've experienced a lot of life. Obviously. We've all had birthdays, had a Spring Break staycation, had dance recitals (Hallie's 6th and Harper's first), traveled to Alabama, visited with friends (oh how I enjoyed visiting with so many friends over the summer), went to the beach, started a new school year with an intern, and welcomed a new niece to the family. I would say it has been a year {almost} filled with joy, laughter, and blessings.<br />
<br />
Maybe tomorrow I'll post some pictures from the past year. It'll be hard to pick just a few, but I'm gonna give it my best shot.<br />
<br />
So, little corner of space in the blogosphere...you're still mine. And I still love you for holding all my memories over the past 9 years. I won't give up on you.Kendrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921888490949739431noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696181701873127683.post-28548813269322234882015-12-25T18:42:00.001-06:002016-01-03T18:47:24.685-06:00A visit from the Big Guy!Hal and Harper had a very special visitor come to Nonna and Pop's house!

I did spend the first three days in bed sick with strep. Not a fun way to start vacation. But, I was incredibly thankful to be with my family so they could take care of the girls for me. It did put a damper on Hallie and Harper's plans (and mine, too...but they didn't care about that). The girls' cousins were supposed to come stay on Monday, but with me sick, they (understandably) postponed their visit. They headed over Wednesday morning (two days "late") and the girls were thrilled. We stuffed our bellies full on Thanksgiving and saw two movies--The Peanuts Movie and The Good Dinosaur. Both were pretty good. The Good Dinosaur being my least favorite. Before the girls headed back to Birmingham, I took them to the creek to take some pictures...it was high noon and the sun was super bright, so the Hubs is going to have to do some editing for me. But overall, the colors are gorgeous (as are the sweet faces).<br />

Hope everyone had a beautiful Thanksgiving...I am so thankful for my family. And so thankful for the bond these four girls share. They're family, but they're also friends. Makes my heart smile (even if they can all drive us full speed ahead on the crazy train sometimes)! :o)Kendrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921888490949739431noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696181701873127683.post-75163312302471143742015-11-21T21:09:00.003-06:002015-11-21T21:10:06.286-06:00JSODThis year, both girls are taking dance...it started in September and they both love it. We do not love the location this year (we really miss the Bosque studio), but we still love Joy's!<br />

<br />
We are thankful for Western Heights Baptist Church and their Fall Festival. It's where we've taken the girls the past couple of years, and they love it. This year, I wasn't quite on top of things when it came to Halloween costumes. Usually, Hallie has decided a year in advance what she wants to be and sticks to it. This year, she had no ideas. And Harper changed her mind 10 times on the actual day of Halloween! Instead of spending a ton of money on something, we figured out what we had at home. Here's what we ended up being...<br />

This one was Day 4. And it takes my breath away. Harper is such a free spirit. Very opinionated. Very loud. Very, very loud. But she is also very reflective and has a sweet soul.

<br /></div>
<div>
Woodway Elementary has a fantastic library and librarian! The kids have the chance to create a pumpkin storybook character with their family. Then the pumpkins are judged. It's such a neat time. We had a blast creating Hallie's storybook pumpkin--all together as a family. What a joy to get to do at-home projects! Hallie chose to do The Very Hungry Caterpillar and came out with second place in third grade!</div>

<br />
Our sweet, precious oldest love gave her heart to Christ tonight. For several months, we have known God has been working in her heart. She has asked a lot of questions about being a Christian, being baptized, and what it means to be saved. She told us tonight she wanted to pray for Jesus to come into her herat. So we all sat down as a family on her little bed and prayed with her. She prayed and asked Jesus to come into her heart. It was the most wonderful experience I have ever had...absolutely precious. We are so blessed and so thankful. Praise the Lord, Hallie is a new creation in Christ!<br />

New School.August 25...Hallie and I started new school years at a new school! We were both nervous, and it has taken a little time to adjust, but we both LOVE Woodway Elementary! Occasionally, Hallie will say she misses her Mountainview friends and Miss Dodd, but she has grown to feel right at home at Woodway! We are so thankful.<div>

On August 2, Harper turned three. And five days later, she broke her arm...again...right before her birthday party. She, Hallie, and Ren were outside playing. Hallie was on the disc swing and told Harper to move. Harper did not move. Hallie totally knocked her down and she landed "just right" on the same arm she broke eight months earlier. Sigh. Thankfully, she knew what to expect and bounced back quickly.<br />

If she breaks her arm for a third time in the next 12 months, she'll need to have an MRI to rule out anything that could possibly be causing the arm to break so easily. The doctor didn't seem to concerned, though...just called it a freak accident. Perhaps we should teach Harper to catch herself when she falls. Ha!<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Hallie finished up second grade and is ready to move on to third. She'll be attending a new school next year, so we are praying she is prepared. With MV being a PYP school, we really think she will be. She's so creative and a hard worker!</span></div>

On awards day, Hallie received many awards--Top Achiever, UIL First Place for Creative Writing for second grade, Firat Place for MV GT Fair (2nd grade), Eager Reader, Perfect Attendance, All A's for the year. We are so proud of her! And she is such a sweet friend to her classmates--we are so thankful for her sweet heart.</div>

Hallie's class had a read-a-thon on one of the last days of school. Hallie loved this...and it was brilliant of the teachers because the entire class was super quiet! Haha! :o)</div>

Every grade level has a picnic on their Awards Day. It has always been a challenge to make it to Hallie's picnics, so RahRah and Gramps have always filled in the gaps when Jonathan and I couldn't be there! Here he is enjoying a picnic with two of his cutie pies!</div>

Hallie has finished second grade. Hallie has received her five year award at Joy's School of Dance. I have resigned from my teaching position at Mountainview...the school that welcomed me back into teaching after my year off keeping Hallie...the school that welcomed my sweet Hallie into Kindergarten, then first, then second grade and loved her with a wonderful love...the school where I've been the longest (7 years) and made some of the best friends...the school that became my family. Whew. {a little teary-eyed here} I've accepted a position teaching first grade at the school where Hallie would have been attending with or without me. So now she'll be attending with me...and I'll get to know her friends before two years fly by and she starts intermediate school. We have been to Alabama, the beach (Gulf Shores), back to Texas. And Harper has turned three. We've had playdates and worked in my new classroom. <br />
<br />
It has been a whirlwind of a summer, and it has been absolutely wonderful.<br />
<br />
I love sharing...and I do not want this blog of happies to die. So I'll keep trudging along. I'll have a new journey to share, so maybe I can be a little more on top of things. We'll see. :o)<br />
<br />
Wish me luck! And Hallie and I truly appreciate the prayers. This change is going to be a wonderful one, we believe. We are trusting God and His plan for us both.

Because Hallie had another dance recital, we decided we wouldn't stretch ourselves too thin with trying to fit a lot into the day. After lunch with Jonathan's parents, we headed to the recital venue. <div><br></div><div>Don't you know dance recitals are exactly where a daddy wants to be on Father's Day?! Ha! Actually, as you all know, it isn't. And that is the only thing I dislike about our dance studio--having the recital on Father's Day weekend. </div><div><br></div><div>But Jonathan was a trooper. He's one special guy and an amazing daddy to or precious girls! They have a wonderful example of what kind of guy to look for when they're dating and thinking about marriage...you know, when they're 40!</div><div><br></div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://65DBC46F-526A-4634-8150-E6AD014732E8/imagejpeg"></div><div><br></div><div>I got to talk to my dad on FaceTime. </div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://5885F013-65BB-41CC-A588-21DB3D028D0F/imagepng" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></div><div><br></div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://2CE72AE8-C96E-4DFD-9579-4AEB105B6E11/imagejpeg" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></div><div><br></div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://8AEC4281-7C3D-4D81-909D-DD9F3EF69EDB/imagejpeg" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></div><div><br></div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://3AA76D7C-C696-4886-A904-7BC95AE356AC/imagejpeg"></div>Kendrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921888490949739431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696181701873127683.post-4853218887400738722014-07-19T22:31:00.001-05:002014-07-19T22:32:44.065-05:00Never Grow Up<div>(06.14/15.14)</div>Hallie completed her fourth year at Joy's School of Dance last month. This year, she took ballet and tap again. <div><br></div><div>Starting around January, the girls began learning their routines for the June recital. For tap, it was a catchy number called Pennies from Heaven. It was adorable and so was the routine. I can't remember at what point I began listening to the song for ballet...but one day the words stuck me. And I felt a prickle of a tear forming in the corner of my eyes. </div><div><br></div><div>"Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, just stay this little"...Taylor Swift goes on to sing verses about how innocent a child is, thinking everything is funny...then how she's mortified by her mom taking her to the movies...a mom reminding her to take mental pictures of her childhood...her first apartment. Thank goodness that recital song was spliced or all the other dance moms and myself would have been a sloppier mess than we already were! </div><div><br></div><div>I remember the first time we all really listened to the song, peeking in through the viewing window as all our 5-6-7 year olds pointed their toes and swayed to the music, looking incredibly older than they were. We all agreed that we would need tissues come recital night. And we all did. </div><div><br></div><div>The first day of Hallie's dance recital, Jonathan stayed home with Harper. The recital was at 2 pm and Harper would not have survived it. Plus, Hallie would be repeating the recital the next day (Father's Day). So I was able to simply enjoy watching Hallie with no one else to interrupt my thoughts, dreams, visions. And as I watched Hallie dance her very best on stage, swaying effortlessly to Taylor Swift's voice, I cried. Happy tears. Hopeful tears...bittersweet tears.

There's nothing else that can make you crazy and happy and furious and heartbroken all on different days, and still be worth the time and effort. So many people jugs walk away from that commitment. I cannot say that the 10 years have been all sunshine and roses--we are human. But we both mad a promise to each other, and thank The Lord, we are both promise keepers!

She loves learning and we pray that love for learning will continue well into her higher education days! This year, Hallie was one of two top achievers in the entire first grade...she had one of the two highest over-all averages! I was amazed and so proud! She also took her GT project to the district fair, got the Spanish award, Music Award, Perfect Attendance, and All A honor roll.

I could easily see her compete in all the events, tell her to keep her mouth closed during the muddy water slide, and we her class won't be tug-of-war battle!
