Birthdays and January 2nd

Part of me just r..e..l..a..x..e..s on January 2nd.  We have so much going on at the end of the year and then New Year's Day so today it just feels good to rest a little from so much celebrating.

We had so much to celebrate though!!!

Naomi is 20.  How can she be 20?  I am sure countless parents have thought the same thing a billion times but REALLY!  I remember when she was born like it was yesterday!  She was 5 lb 15 oz of adorable cuteness.  Now she is all grown up, working, studying for a security test which should help her get another job, and is saving for a car and an apartment and all those important adulty things.

Miriam is 14!  She was also very cute at birth. Of course.  People say newborns aren't usually that cute but MINE WERE.  She was our biggest girl baby at 6 lb 12 oz.  Obviously we had little babies.  Miriam is precious, beautiful, vital, and so much fun to have around.  Like all of our girls, she is quite an artist.

Isaac turned 17.  He is HUGE now.  6 ft. 3 inches tall!  125 lbs dripping wet.  So he's obviously very thin as well. He eats, I promise you he eats!  He was 7 lb 1 oz at birth.  Daniel beat him at 7 lb 4 oz but for years he was the biggest Kendig baby.  Now he is by far the tallest person in the house since Kevin and I top out at just under 5 ft. 9 inches.  Isaac is a gamer, big time. He's also a deep thinker.  He has a quirky sense of humor.  He likes math.  (Thank you, Lord, for a kid who LIKES math!)

We love our kids.
