My Baby is 5!

On June 3, 2004 at 12:55 pm Kendal Joanne Barney came into this world.

I look back now on that day and am so grateful things turned out the way they did. God's hand was in everything that happened.

She almost didn't make it.

And when it was all over, I prayed. So thankful that she was here and okay.

I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who knew her and knew how much we needed her and allowed her to be a part of our family.

Every day with our Loo is an exciting adventure.

I think my favorite memory is her running down the street screaming without a single piece of clothing on her little body.

I love how at night when we're reading she'll stick her head in that spot under my chin by my neck {kind of like a little puppy} and snuggle up really close and hug me. {It doesn't get any better than that.}

I love it when she says words wrong. A-Hurricane {Hurricane} and bunder {thunder} are a few of my favorites.

I don't correct her.

I'm grasping for more.

I need to hear those mistakes a little longer so I don't feel so sad that my baby is growing up.

She's so:

kind
loving
happy
crazy
thoughtful
dramatic
tender
sweet
stubborn
shy
{around people she doesn't know}
talkative
{at home}
snuggly
