This one's a mess in a really big way. And despite the fact that I may be bald in a short time from pulling my hair out almost.every.day. as a result of her 'spunk', I don't think I could possibly love her any more. She's captured my heart in an indescribable way.


........................
On a totally different front.....
You may have noticed that I haven't posted here in about 2 months. For one thing, I haven't had a spare minute, but I've also been wrestling with the idea of password protecting this blog. And after some stories I've heard recently, I've decided to do it. I'll try to continue to share (more often!), but I like the idea of sharing in a bit more private manner. So please post a comment here or send me an email if you would like the password and I will send it your way. If you are a long time lurker, don't be shy about asking for the password, I'm not trying to scare you off in any way, just trying to be more aware of who is reading..... Thanks so much!


Hi Kelly!
I love reading your blog, and so enjoy your awesome photography of your kids. I would love your password so I can continue enjoying your blog. Someday I hope to have a blog too!

Hi Kelly,
I always love seeing your pictures of the family and reading your blog. Guess I need to talk to you about password protecting too.

Hey Kelly, I've been reading your blog for a long time. I will have to discuss with you the password thing. I may do the same. Send me the password so that I can keep up with you all.

I totally love being able to keep up with you all through your blog! I just finished rolling up Bonnie's hair in pink spongy rollers which I never would have thought of without your inspiration. Please keep me in the loop!

Hey Kelly,
I'm one of Megan's friends...and another lurker..ha! So excited when I saw a new post! I would love to continue reading your blog. Hope you guys are doing great!

Kelly,
I love seeing the update...and I'd be honored to have your password when you do protect it. It seems to be the thing now....I'm glad you'll feel better with it protected. Anyhow, I also met Lacey and plan to learn some about photography...and you two are HUGE inspirations to me! I'd love to continue to see your work!
Thanks!

Posted by: Grampa Gaylen | May 07, 2008 at 07:41 PM
Just love that girl so much! Can't believe you got TWO girls with spunk! All I can say is Meg better not get a calm one or I'm guessing you'll be having a little chat with God about that:) Can't wait till your little ones can 'come ober to Gram and Papa's house' anytime they want. One more week!!!

Kelly--
I am one of Megan's friends from college...and also a long-time lurker! She shared your blog with me ages ago so I could see your kids (you only had Cole the last time I saw you!) and I love your photos, and as a new mom myself, am inspired by your devotion to God as a mother and wife. I'd love to be able to continue reading! Thanks!
Posted by: Mandi McKinley | May 08, 2008 at 07:06 AM
Hi! I'd love the password! I love your photography and the stories you tell about your children remind me so much of our life (I have a 4 yr old daughter and 1 year old son.) I've missed your updates!

Kelly,
I would love to be on the VIP list for your blog. I have been checking here every so often for an update.....sorry that this one comes with news of password protecting. I'm thinking that we might all need to do that.
Love the new pictures of your little girl....she and my daughter would be great friends...they look like little lives of the party!

friend of Kim Haynes...so not a total stranger! : )

You know I want the password! I am thinking of doing the same thing on my blog. Let me know how it goes....
Posted by: Annie | May 08, 2008 at 07:47 PM
Hey Kelly, count me in, my friend! Gosh, I slack off checking for a day and there's already 25 people ahead of me. LOL.
By the way, LOVE that third picture. It's like a glimpse of Kate at 13, she looks so much older.
Posted by: Jeneen | May 08, 2008 at 08:17 PM
Kelly, The blog is a great way for me to keep up with your family from 5,000 miles away. I'd love to get the password--I think it's a really good idea to implement a little security.
