Today was Kendall's birthday. Oh, what memories we have of two years ago, the day before Thanksgiving, 2006! I remember a very, very long and painful labor and not having an epidural most of the day (they say you forget, but I haven't yet. BUT, as all the extremely annoying people told me that day, it was, indeed, all worth it. What a wonder she is! She never ceases to amaze us with her sweetness, her girliness, her kisses and her fun little giggles.
A big thank you to the Carver's who invited us over for playtime and lunch so that Chip could rest for a few hours in quiet. Kendall had so much fun playing with the love of her life, Drew...especially the part where she got to lick all the icing off of a gigantic cupcake!
We had family over for a party this evening, just cookie cake and ice cream, and I am pretty sure Cooper enjoyed opening presents more than Kendall. Around 5PM this afternoon, I took Kendall's temperature and it was over 101!!! How unfair to have a fever on your birthday! After a good dose of Tylenol, it came down enough that she seemed to enjoy herself just fine.

A monkey for our monkey!
Cooper asked all day if this was his party, too. Since he turned 3 1/2 on November 19th, I figured it was only fair to let him blow out candles, too!On a day like today, while Chip is recovering from surgery, a cancerous tumor, a super special visit with friends and celebrating our baby's birthday...we are once again reminded of how blessed we are. This has been by far the most emotional, weird and enlightening week of our lives. We know we will get through it because of the love, support and prayers of our family and friends and even people we barely know. I feel like a broken record these days, but...THANK YOU.
