Kenda's First Birthday

Kendal on the Morning of her Birthday. She loves balloons and she was so thrilled. We celebrated her birthday with some good friends and had a nice time.

Here she is opening a gift. She is not into ripping the paper yet. Mom still gets to help, which she is not complaining about.



Kendal in her birthday hat not looking too happy. Daddy accidentally snapped her with the elastic when putting it on her.

Oh forgot to mention Kendal is now crawling. I left the frig door open and turned around to find her eating a tomato that she had grabbed out of the crisper drawer. She ended up taking a few bites and seemed to like it. ( This was a day before her birthday)

Train trip to London to Celebrate!

Here is our usual train trip to London for Kendal's 6 month check-ups. She loves the train and thought it so cool that she had her own seat. This is our last one for at least a year . On Thursday Sept. 13, we had Kendal's 6 month check -up with fantastic news. She has no more gall stones! YIPEE. I didn't believe it at first. I kept questioning the Dr. I think he thought I was a strange woman. But a big thank you to all of you that partnered with us in praying for healing. She doesn't go back for a year. Praise God.

This was our view out our hotel room window. The London eye and the Thames river. It was beautiful at night.

AZ Visit and New Cousin

We had a great surprise on our visit to AZ. Kendal was able to meet two of her aunts and uncles for the first time. They came all the way from New York. It was so nice to see them again as it had been a long time. Love you Aunt Trish, Aunt Rhonda, Uncle John and Uncle Terry!

Here is the new arrival and addition to the Foster Family. This is Tyler Nicole born August 7, 2007, Kendal's new cousin and our new niece. It was so nice to be able to meet her and hold her. We had a great time with her. (When she was awake!)

Proud Grandpa with his two Granddaughters. And Kendal being a ham.

In our visit we were able to visit Christina's good friends Kim with Lily and Kelly with Hershey. Hershey was standing in for Kelly's son Payson. He was helping dad take the picture. Though the time was short it was a blessing to us both.

Here is a proud grandma with her grandaughter. Took Kendal for sushi for the first time. See the sushi chef in the background. She was too tired to enjoy it though she did like the California rolls. She is a child of exquisite taste.
