Week 27 - Kennedy Weekly Portraits

So she's officially over 6 months, on to the next big chapter...oh yeah, here's this week's photo.

Life just seems to get busier and busier. Like many in the midwest this year, summer can't come quickly enough with it's promise of warm days and leisure. But for now Jen and I are doing our best to cherish the time we have with our little girl. Tomorrow is May 1st and we've officially taken 2 family walks outside (with the forecast of snow on Thursday it's not looking like winter is EVER GOING TO END).

You've probably noticed the most of the home projects have come to a halt recently (because we have so much extra time on our hands), so my intention to document our updates to this house have been an epic fail... 

Week 26 - Kennedy Weekly Portraits

 

Perspective is a funny thing. It holds the key to meaning in all that we say and do. For instance, earlier in my life I enjoyed "relaxing" by playing a round of golf, going for a workout, or some other activity. Now the work "relax" holds an entirely different meaning. It might signify sneaking in a 30 minute nap on a Sunday afternoon, enjoying a book, or even just sitting for a few minutes in the evening talking with Jen while laundry hums in the background. Life changes perspective and in turn our definitions. One of the most significant re-definitions I've learned is LOVE. Before marriage, it was just a feeling, before KK it was a commitment, now it's an overwhelming privilege. To be able to love and be loved is humbling and charging simultaneously. I can't imagine life without THIS kind of love and yet I've only defined it in these terms for a short while.

I wish many more new definitions as life pours out experiences on each of us!

KK was so excited to show off her new Easter dress. We had a great day in Omaha visiting family. Thanks so much to John and Kim for hosting  

 

 This week Paw-Paw was in town. Brunch at the club, a long walk outside in the sunshine, and a big dinner of Sweet Potatoes...this girl went down hard!
