Four years ago today...

Kellen was born!   And I became a mother.  My labor with Kellen was thirty hours of torturous, unbelievable pain and frustration.  Finally, he was in my arms and that all melted away.  I had only to gaze into those big blue eyes, looking up at me in wonderment, and I knew I would go through it all again a million times over if I had to, even just for this one moment.  My love for him was completely unconditional. Kellen simply had to be, and he was my everything.  It gave me a deeper sense of how the Savior must feel about us, and why he was willing to suffer so greatly in our behalf.   Ever since that day I have lived a richer, fuller, happier, (crazier!), and more meaningful life.

I love you Kellen!  Thanks for being such a sweet, good boy, who always tries to do what is right!  You are so special to our family!

I wanted to post some favorite Kellen pictures, but couldn't choose just a few, so you're getting a ton!

Sorry, no baby ones.  These are the only ones I have stored on my camera and/or computer.  Also, the pictures are in chronological order, excpet the bottom two, which were supposed to be closer to the top.  I always have formatting issues!

 Enjoy!
