Jaiden Claire, February 21. 2007Well, we ventured to New Iberia, Louisiana yet again to visit Granny and Pappy Keeter! We had intended to go for the weekend, yet stayed for a week! As we always discuss during these visits, we realize it is not normal for a daughter/mother-in-law to actually want to prolong each visit, but we sure do! I am so blessed!
We were able to spend every day with Granny because her boss at work (Pappy) was very lenient with her schedule. He he he. We had bbq's, played outside with the dogs, created some wonderful artwork with sidewalk chalk on the driveway, got to play with Aunt Kristin, Uncle Scott, and Cousins Chloe and Emma, and also chased Snowball (cat) around the yard.
Granny also brought us to a (family oriented) Mardi Gras parade. Jaiden really enjoyed the drums and the beads (which she exclaims they are "BEANS! BEANS!"). We didn't indulge in crawfish and spicy sausage like some of the family, but we did enjoy our first Louisiana Mardi Gras! Please note: Jaiden did not lift her shirt for her accumulated beads, nor did Granny or Mama!
Just a few family updates:
Aden, Jaiden, and I are rightful owners of our Montana property!!! We closed on it this past Tuesday. Now the fun preparations and planning to build will follow (yahoo!!!) ---in due time, of course. Pops Kent has offered to build us a tepee for our living quarters. Although we will carefully consider all ideas, I think we are going to have to decline on that one. Sorry Pops!
My sister Jessy and nephew Landon will be coming to visit in March. We haven't anything planned yet, but will be greatly looking forward to that! Please pray for their safe travels!
Jenny and her girls (Jennah and Abby) have found their new apartment and will be moving in March! She is very excited and hopefully she will share pictures later! Please pray for them, as sometimes moving can get very hectic! And pray for the girls' comfort in their new home!
Pops Kent and Leslie will be traveling to Spain this summer for a mission trip through their church in Mc Kinney. Please continue to pray for them as they prepare themselves physically, spiritually, and financially for this trip.
Scott, Kristin, Chloe, and Emma are in the last 6 weeks before welcoming their new baby Elizabeth Clare Keeter. Please pray for them as they enter the final month and a half and all that goes on during this busy time. She looks SO GREAT by the way!
Shortly after Miss Elizabeth's birth, we will be having Jaiden's Birthday #2 Party here in Coppell. We will be very busy getting the house and yard in shape for the BBQ-style Celebration. I'm getting the invites made up by this fabulous company (www.cocoandems.com). Ok, it's Kristin's company, but like I said, it's FABULOUS! Just keep your eye out for one and we hope you all can join us for Jaiden's special day!
I think that about does it for immediate family updates... I'm so glad everyone seems to be doing so well! Please continue to pray for each other~
We are excited to see the warmer weather just around the corner. We are hoping to plan another little vacation here shortly and we'll be excited to share that with you as it develops. We aren't sure if it is going to be a family vacation or a romantic getaway for Aden and me. We'll see!
Well, that's it for now! Thank you for visiting our blog and we look forward to keeping you in touch with the latest news!
Love to All~
Jods
