Well, well, well! I'm sure all of the blogging world has just assumed that I have fallen off the face of the earth! So much has been going on this summer! We went to the beach with Austin, Sarelle and Reagan at the beginning of the summer and that was alot of fun. Kylie and Rae Rae had alot of fun together. Then in July, Aaron took me on a cruise for our 5 year anniversary. Needless to say it was a BLAST! We really enjoyed our time together minus 2 little girls! lol! So, in short, the summer was great! We made alot of lasting memories.
Let's see here, I guess I will start with Kylie. Let's just say she is 3 going on 13! She is just so sassy! Aside from turning almost dark enough to trade races, she LOVED our inground pool this summer. She is actually starting to swim without her floaties and going all the way under the water! She still has occasional bouts with her ears hurting, but overall she is doing well. She is so smart too. She picks up on things that I had no idea she was even paying attention too. And her little facial expressions are just so growny. I hear her on her little play cell phone and she is hilarious. Sometimes I sneak up on her to listen to her play. She is also so very much in love with her sissy. I was unsure at the beginning how things were going to work out with them two, but with alot of prayers, she is coming around. I think she is starting to realize how much fun she can have being the big sissy. She wakes her up every morning of the summer by opening the door and crawling in her crib with her and playing for about 25 min! It is the sweetest sound in the world to hear the 2 of them laughing together. I don't think their is a much stronger bond in the world than that of sisters. There's just something special about it. She has become my biggest helper. She is such a special girl.
Now to talk about my little Kenzie! Well, let's just say that she is definitely full of personality. She has such a temper. If she doesn't want the food you put in front of her or drink, with one swipe, its all on the floor, and followed with the "well, you shouldn't put it there momma" face! oh my, I am in for a long, but quite humorous 18 years I have a feeling. She is also such a sweetheart! She can make us all smile without even doing anything. She is a little ball of sunshine, with occasional lightening bolts of attitude! I know I blogged a while back about her feet, and so far it was just stride rite shoes and wait, and I would love to say I have a brand new update. But as far as her feet are concerned, she turned a year old on the 21st of August and this weekend was the first time she has made an effort to pull herself up on her own feet and try to step to the side while holding on to something else. I am so thrilled that she is doing this! However, I also know that she is still really behind and that her little feet still look awkward and unstable. She really wants to stand and walk, but it's like something is keeping her from being able to completely let go. I've been praying for this situation for a long time now. And since I'm with her 24/7, it plays on my mind alot because it's constantly in front of me. No mother ever wants to think there is something wrong with their baby, but I knew very early that I needed to admit there was the possibility for an issue, and go ahead and make plans to get this checked out and do whatever I needed to, to start the process of fixing it if necessary. But lately, it had just become very overwhelming and the Lord knew I just couldn't take it much longer. I believe with all my heart that He reached down, picked her up and whispered in her ear "go ahead and take a few step for your mommy. she needs to know that you'll be alright". And if that wasn't enough, the Lord also had me have my video camera in my hand the exact moment she did it so I could capture it on camera! That's when I knew that God was listening to all my spoken and unspoken prayers for my little girl. Not only did He ease my fears by allowing her to take a few steps, but He went above and beyond and did something for me, just because He loves me and He wants to do the little things that He knows are special to me. The Lord knows how important it is to me that I get pictures and video's of special moments in my girl's lives, so He made it happen that day. Our God is so good. So, with all that said, she goes back to the doctor in a week for her 1 yr checkup and he will do a re-evaluation of her feet and legs and we will go from there. But I know that no matter what the doctor says, or what happens in the next year with this situation, God is watching me and my girls and is listening to my prayers. He is going to do what is best no matter what and I will trust Him all the way.
So, needless to say, the Pendergraft family couldn't be better. Aaron and I are doing great and enjoying our life with our two BEAUTIFULLY, PERFECT little girls and enjoying every day that the Lord allows us to be together.
