I started off a little behind the 8-ball but I think I've caught up and I'm just enjoying all the things we're doing that are traditions which enhance our celebration of the gift of Immanuel (God with us). As I was doing a special Christmas unit study with the boys and we were talking about what advent means and the definitions of several other "Christmasy" words, it all of a sudden dawned on me what this season is all about. Ha, it's about time right? Well, I've known for forever that it's about the birth of our savior, the Messiah. But I asked myself this year, why do we celebrate this every year with such a great amount of time and money devoted to this celebration? All of a sudden the word "remember" came to mind. God tells us to "remember" what Jesus did for us when he died on the cross. Communion is the remembrance of that act of God. All throughout the history of the nation of Israel, God told them to do things to remember what He did for them; have ceremonies, build stone piles as markers to remember. That's what Jewish festivals are all about. I don't know all the festivals and specifically why they are celebrated but I do know they are mostly celebrated to remember what God has done. There's a festival celebration to remember God's delivering Israel from slavery. There's also one for remembering that God spared the lives of the children of Israel when Queen Esther risked her life to reveal to the King, an evil plan to kill the Israelites. Well, there are many more but the point is that it blesses God when we celebrate and remember what he has done for us!! Christmas (and Easter) are set aside times when we remember something specific that God did for us. And, whatever we do to celebrate what he did and to remember it and to make it holy (or set apart) from other days, is a blessing to God!! For the last two years I've had conversations with friends about christmas trees specifically and are they pagan or what? It's taken me two years to come to the conclusion that, regardless of why the first person put that Christmas tree in their house, it's something I do because of memories, traditions and it enhances my experience with setting this time apart to remember what God did in sending His son to be my Savior. I'm so glad God spoke to me about Christmas. I've always thought it funny when people would say "are you ready for Christmas?" I've always thought it was more than just a day. This year especially I've enjoyed each and every day of the Advent season because it is more than just a day. For our family, it's a celebration that starts with Thanksgiving and continues as the decorations go up and the parties begin. We are being intentional about remembering what God has done for us. He sent His son to be our Messiah, Savior and King. A humble baby born to make us right with God. Celebrating such a momentous event should be special and longer than just a day and should be filled with lots of wonderful things to enhance our remembering. I feel so full right now!! I mean full spiritually and very blessed. In addition to the Messiah babe in the manger and the Savior on the cross, God has done soooooooooooo many things in the lives of our family and we have lots of amazing things to remember and celebrate! Merry Christmas and happy and blessed remembering what God has done for you!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kinney Kids Parentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597260852292413820noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098623358576986945.post-80110223240903391962009-11-03T18:26:00.003-05:002009-11-03T18:39:58.758-05:00<p>No school today. That was a last minute decision. Actually thought we'd do school in the afternoon after our trip to the Aquarium but we got there later than expected and stayed later than planned, so . . . . Scott and I switched cell companies and upgraded phones like you wouldn't believe. We got free Blackberries with our new plan so we have been having fun trying out all the stuff on it. This video was taken of Drayton (AKA "busy bee") at the aquarium boat play area. This short video is a sample of what she did for a solid 10 minutes - over and over and over again! Funny and busy little lady! What a doll. She'll be 1 on the 6th. WHEW!

After traveling 2400 miles, we're wiped out and our cups are running over!! We spent about 10 days in Michigan on the lake fishing, boating, tubing, skiing, having water fights, playing cards, eating and just visiting. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tradd</span> pretty much just fished the whole time. He did quite well and managed to catch an 18 inch large mouth bass all by himself (cousin Brandon helped him land it). <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tradd</span> also tried to ski for the first time. We never really got to the point of saying "hit it" <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">cuz</span>' his skis were just never ready. But, I was thrilled he said he wanted to try.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtiSeMC_HgA5WutbzbNstUkQr2YIkZdoj4EI2VkYs0rPiSqCZCPTFLu43XK7_b9sZssZ371m7gNnBDxQeqYs2z9yPWSxhNt-k8DYEwmppGclgRtETQR7A3KT0rmLTjgHVOsRBfbMZ2qNbh/s1600-h/vacation+July+2009+002.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365084017645779106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtiSeMC_HgA5WutbzbNstUkQr2YIkZdoj4EI2VkYs0rPiSqCZCPTFLu43XK7_b9sZssZ371m7gNnBDxQeqYs2z9yPWSxhNt-k8DYEwmppGclgRtETQR7A3KT0rmLTjgHVOsRBfbMZ2qNbh/s400/vacation+July+2009+002.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtafZX9CasXdSOH0Dd4q3JrHjrnUNLn5BmkuunJ584S0nZkaLnuV2aC3_UvbqWQ9kGH6YfbIQ5uz5nz4mIPpgdgq5yURT4iWTdM_w3RIezVSZbTJyZfDwWsye4d_LQqddHOwx6j5wgm0E2/s1600-h/vacation+July+2009+012.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365084752795065650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtafZX9CasXdSOH0Dd4q3JrHjrnUNLn5BmkuunJ584S0nZkaLnuV2aC3_UvbqWQ9kGH6YfbIQ5uz5nz4mIPpgdgq5yURT4iWTdM_w3RIezVSZbTJyZfDwWsye4d_LQqddHOwx6j5wgm0E2/s400/vacation+July+2009+012.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Cooper did a little bit of everything and was not quite as obsessive as <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tradd</span> about fishing.

At one point, between our cottage and my brother's cottage, there were 21 of us. We ate dinner together every evening and played together during the day. What a blast!!! It's cherry season in MI so mom made homemade cherry pie almost every evening. She also made homemade blueberry muffins nearly every night so I saw mom buy lots of flour and sugar from the local grocery throughout the week. Scott and I didn't have cell phone coverage at the cottage. I loved this but my wonderful husband went into some withdrawal I think. He loved to go into town on a daily basis to get the newspaper and other things, like bait for all of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tradd's</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">fishing</span>. His cell had coverage in a local <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">cemetery</span> (don't ask me how he ever discovered this) so I think he frequented this place throughout the week as well. I was in my glory staying at the cottage looking out at the lake, sitting in the sun, watching and listening for Loon and looking out for Bald Eagles. The day that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tradd</span> caught his big bass, we were in the backyard and we saw a Bald Eagle land in the top of a nearby tree. What a surprise!!! The tree was 40 yards away and it was only about 35 feet tall. Incredible!! Later in the week, we saw 4 flying together. 2 were mature adults and 2 were young. We also saw/heard the Loon everyday. I love that sound. A couple of cottages up the road from us is a farm with three horses. It was of course very exciting for the children and horses are my fave!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu3qo0s9NDC1JzP8wd6ab4NRC-7NcukweBEzPDzHxw7KfQsi1ocHEe7da5s77EnXEGOmV1kgf1hvZKB0O1g06-tJQepSopfjQevEL0kOjLNcr0o2sZV6ni58Lt5sFk11-q1nWU2Mb0Auxz/s1600-h/vacation+July+2009+003.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365084016749391922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu3qo0s9NDC1JzP8wd6ab4NRC-7NcukweBEzPDzHxw7KfQsi1ocHEe7da5s77EnXEGOmV1kgf1hvZKB0O1g06-tJQepSopfjQevEL0kOjLNcr0o2sZV6ni58Lt5sFk11-q1nWU2Mb0Auxz/s400/vacation+July+2009+003.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivelE7Vsxk6DdTR4R2oC4pqfi2beoxlM29N3D80VCpcOzoF0Pih6SR_fm7wNRIt0nDfzS-D3rUYKVDUt-wWMUDxVJh5kMnLZsT8cXbT3hMLwTUMWDOT6gLUqPG_UThD9N5mdLSbrwj-o08/s1600-h/vacation+July+2009+039.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365092236999456626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivelE7Vsxk6DdTR4R2oC4pqfi2beoxlM29N3D80VCpcOzoF0Pih6SR_fm7wNRIt0nDfzS-D3rUYKVDUt-wWMUDxVJh5kMnLZsT8cXbT3hMLwTUMWDOT6gLUqPG_UThD9N5mdLSbrwj-o08/s400/vacation+July+2009+039.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiozj4k-IouWO-SeQQB58XR9sLKSfMaSel7K4YFlbY9yP_hJOcfY4W3jJgcnCMSW9xmzjS2Gi_OG_s6qJFFsOKsUwoRaQM1iranT8RrOomIoCGLk585KgOpgfVXvrhAL6leS-iEpBifjzE3/s1600-h/vacation+July+2009+055.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365092240328021458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiozj4k-IouWO-SeQQB58XR9sLKSfMaSel7K4YFlbY9yP_hJOcfY4W3jJgcnCMSW9xmzjS2Gi_OG_s6qJFFsOKsUwoRaQM1iranT8RrOomIoCGLk585KgOpgfVXvrhAL6leS-iEpBifjzE3/s400/vacation+July+2009+055.jpg" /></a></div><div>After Michigan, we stopped back in Ohio at mom and dad's house for a few days.

We don't do the DVD player thing and we don't even have a working CD player so it's the radio or just our singing but it's usually good family time. Between the games and the silly songs, nap time, eating and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">answering</span> the kids millions of questions, it all went by very fast. I used to drive the whole trip but Scott now does the driving because he gets sick if he's turning around doing stuff for the kids. This is quite a transition for me and for him but we managed very nicely!! I'm feeling very tired today so my writing seems a bit dull. There are so many fun stories but I think I captured the highlights. Scott can add his two cents later if he chooses. What a blessing it is to have wonderful family get-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">togethers</span> where there is peace and fellowship, to have this cottage that is 90 years old and provides such therapeutic retreats, to have safe travels for all who came and also for vehicles that worked well all that way too!!!! The blessings are numerous and so are the memories. Speaking of blessings and memories: Scott and I celebrated our 10<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> anniversary on the 16<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>. We took some time away from the kids at the cottage and went to a nearby town to do some window shopping and just hang out together. We had to take <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">Drayton</span> with us because of nursing and I forgot to get a pump and some bottles before the trip. Well, we had a nice time anyway and of course bought some things for the kids. Now it's time to do some serious planning for the next school year. I think I'll have the boys do a music class with some other kids. Should be fun I think and Coleman might be in a special pre-school where she'll get some extra therapy. We're looking into this. My thought is, the more therapy the better. She's doing great but more can only help! Because of the kids' activites outside of the home that may mean that my house will actually get cleaned once in a while. It's really shabby right now! UGH!! (Of course it may also mean that it'll get worse because I'll be in the car more for drop off and pick up.)</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kinney Kids Parentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597260852292413820noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098623358576986945.post-29768549802063655502009-06-04T14:57:00.003-04:002009-06-04T15:09:25.512-04:00Dangerous DuoAnd she's up! Pulling up that is. Several days ago <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Drayton</span> pulled up for the first time. Let's just say that the falling is not pretty. No major bumps thus far though. She even pulled to a stand in the tub yesterday. She's been trying for about two weeks. Tried a lot in her crib and continually fell bumping her head on the side. Now I have two that are dangerous. Coleman loves to play with anything wet she can find. Usually she dumps the dog water on the floor but she'll also empty her cup on the floor just to play in it. Then, as she stands to walk away (or run) she falls and hits her head because it's slippery!! Coleman has also been taking off her diaper as well as throwing plates off her high chair. (Will be buying paper plates I think because Coleman insists on having whatever her brothers have which means that she's broken several plates and bowls.)

A dearly departed friend of ours used to say, "too blessed to be stressed." Unfortunately, I still find ways to stress even when I'm really blessed. Let me explain: Scott was at a conference this week and we were getting ready to have new siding put on the house on Saturday. (Yea!! We're so excited and thankful to be able to do this!)The twist is that we had to get the old siding off ourselves. We sent out emails to friends but so many had out of town plans. Well, for some reason I took on this stress as if I was to do it single-handedly while nursing and caring for 4 children. This stress pretty much stole any peace I could have had!! Saturday morning came and only one side of the house had all the siding off! I think it was about 8:40 AM when 4 or 5 guys (seemed like 20) showed up from the siding crew to remove the old siding. 1 hour later, the job was done!!!!!!!!!!! What!!?????? Unbelievable! All that stress was chipped away in one hour? I should have known God had a special plan when all week, my plans to remove siding were thwarted by children/babies who didn't sleep or eat at their usual times. I'm sure we'll have to pay for the siding removal and that wasn't in the original estimate. Sooooooooooooo what!!! Can we say WORTH every penny!! They did it so fast it can't be more than $200. Why do I do this!!?? I can't promise that I'll never do this again, but I do know that I'm processing through a new level of serenity, letting go, releasing things (looking for a better word but can't figure out where a thesaurus is on this computer). Surrender! That's it! My prayer is that God helps me to really surrender everything - the good, bad and ugly!! (I'd like to "get it" this time and not have to go through such agony again!) I also know that this issue of thinking I have to do everything is so related to my eating problems. A sort of "control thing" frame of mind. When I feel out of control, not able to manage all situations and circumstances and outcomes in my life, I usually turn to food. I even want to control what others think about me and if I'm misunderstood, well, I'm all sorts of frustrated!! Well, that is crazy thinking! No wonder I feel out of control and have struggled so much with food! Nobody but God can manage situations, circumstances and outcomes. For me to try and do that is not only not trusting God but sort of subconsciously believing that my idea of how things should go in life is supreme/superior. OOOH, that's pride even a form of idolatry. The next thing I see is that this is based on fear! I'm afraid of what will be if I stop this "god-like" attempt to control/manipulate. I might experience pain of some sort. My worst fears - worst case scenario might be experiened. Then again, it might not! If the worst case scenario happens, I guess I'll see/experience God in a new and wonderful way (the way we did with coleman's surgery) and that is never to be feared. <br /><br />It's been a long time since I've blogged and now out comes this whacked out stuff. Sorry if I've somehow offended or confused anyone. This processing has been cathartic. I guess the counselor in me is not gone yet.<br /><br />Now for news about the kids: A few weekends ago, we went to Asheville to visit the church up there. Seacoast has a campus up there. We got to stay in a hotel and eat out every meal. Very exciting for the boys and pretty relaxing for mom and dad. We let the boys pack their own toys in their back packs. After we had driven for a while, I looked back at Cooper and saw all these clothes and shoes everywhere, that I had not packed. What? Turns out these were his "toys." Basketball shoes and outfits, soccer shoes and outfits etc. What a nut!! This is his "thing" right now. I've found all sorts of awesome sports clothes for next to nothing at our local thrift store. One outfit is a Michael Jordan basketball shirt and shorts. Pretty cool cuz' Cooper's middle name is Jordan after this most excellent b-ball player. Cooper is madly in love with Drayton and he likes to cuddle and roll around with her on the floor. Drayton loves it too and smiles and laughs so sweetly. Cooper has also taken on Tradd's imaginary house thing so he's always talking about life at his other house. The other day he was so insistent about his other house that he got upset that I wouldn't let him go across the street and climb the fence to his other house and other mom. I told him his other mom would have to come get him. It makes Tradd pretty angry that he stole this imaginary house thing. Tradd says it's cute and he's tired of his brother being cute. Well, cute is like a swear word to Cooper. He does not want to be cute! <br /><br />Coleman's favorite past-time is taking things from the boys and even Drayton. She really enjoys that chase that ensues. She still has 3 different therapy sessions each week and is doing really well. She especially has delays in speech but no worries, she'll talk some day. She certainly makes lots of sounds/noise!! What a delight she is. She certainly is a smart little thing but who knows where her IQ is. Her EQ (emotional quotient) seems to be very high. She's so social and interacts with everybody. She too loves Drayton and asks to hold her all the time. She also likes to sit on her which we try to discourage. <br /><br />Drayton will be a tough little girl I think. She will be 6 months this week and I'm desperately needing to take pics of her. Since we were so busy with the Thorn, I really haven't taken pics in 2 months. She is a wonderful baby. Most of her time is spent rolling around on the floor. Sometimes she's in the Bumbo but she loves to be free to roll. Found her with her head sticking our from under a chair the other day. Woops, rolled too much. She's a good sleeper and eater but I will say she likes to see what's going on around her so much that she doesn't get a full feeding in and, therefore, she often eats more frequently than every 3 hours. These crazy social children!! <br /><br />Been trying to teach Tradd "The first shall be last and the last shall be first" so he'll begin to learn to serve others. So, although he's our first, the last one for me to talk about is Tradd. He's soooooo smart and doesn't miss a thing. He says he doesn't like school but what he means is that he doesn't like to have to sit down and do traditional school things. Most of the learning he does is hands on but he does do reading every day which he enjoys but it's the initial disappointment of not being able to be playing outside that bugs him (bugs are definately among his fave things so therefore the pun). Sometimes we read outside and we even read about bugs but it doesn't replace the unstructured outdoor time. He's doing really well with reading and math, science and spanish vocab and Bible memorization. He's even doing fairly well with writing but this is his least favorite to practice. He's growing so tall. Unlike Cooper, Tradd doesn't give much consideration to his clothes. This usually means that his clothes are on inside out and backwards because it just doesn't matter to the bugs and slugs how he looks. He went to the beach with some friends the other day and they weren't there 5 minutes before he'd found all sorts of live sea creatures. They were so impressed! Tradd loves our salt-water aquarium so he's very tuned into aquatic life at the beach.<br /><br />My computer time has run out so I will have to post again some other time. I think I pretty much said all that needs to be said for now anyway.

I think Easter has to be my favorite holiday. Christmas is great - love the lights, love the sounds, love the fact that it is Jesus' birthday (although I think too many people overlook that part). But if Jesus would have only been born, then what? That's why I love this whole week - The thought that Jesus entered into the city, hailed as a king and within a few short days everything changed. He was betrayed by one of his own friends, he was tried for a crime he didn't commit, and he was put to death in a very painful and horrible way. But what if that is where it ended? What if Jesus was born, lived a sinless life and died. Where would we be? Its true Jesus had to die so that we could be forgiven. Our church is doing the Thorn right now, a dramatic portrayal of the life of Christ. It is truly anointed by God. Every night I listen to the story of Jesus' life and I watch the portrayal of how he was beaten and nailed to a cross and how he died. (which as a side note - the cast and crew do an over the top job with this). But if Jesus just died then all we would be is forgiven. I love the way John the Beloved says it in the Thorn, and I'm paraphrasing; As I held Mary, mother of Jesus at the foot of that cross, and I looked up and saw my Lord take his final breath, I caught a glimpse in his eye that gave me hope. You see even though that chapter of his life was over, there was something in his look that told me, maybe just maybe the story wasn't over yet."<br />The story wasn't over yet! Jesus defeated sin on the cross when he took the sin of the world on - your sins and my sins - and they were forgiven on the cross. BUT three days later, Jesus defeated death, separation from God so that one day ALL who believe can live forever with God.<br />Christmas is great - Jesus was born. Good Friday is great - Jesus died for our sins so we are forgiven - But Easter is my favorite because it brings hope to a lost world. It shows that there is so much more than what we have here and now. Jesus has forgiven me and I know that when I leave this world I will spend eternity with God because I am not only forgiven, but Jesus defeated death, the separation from God.<br />My prayer is that you would go to a life giving church this Easter and reflect on what God has done for you, through his Son Jesus - and accept the forgiveness and the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ!<br />Christ has risen - He has risen indeed!<br /><br />To view pictures of the Thorn go to <a href="http://www.savedinhisimage.smugmug.com/">www.savedinhisimage.smugmug.com</a>Kinney Kids Parentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597260852292413820noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098623358576986945.post-20252821062630996562009-03-05T08:07:00.002-05:002009-03-05T08:11:52.762-05:00My Thorn Boys<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNjH8-S6sAGD11hoDWHvNILCM6NN-jErt9ou235w7HTV1xoWb7V4NmjCjBcdpIOQdCGwV9y5n3C-umqs-dQmA7kkpMd1vywnzI47jZna5qgB16nlhCUpEsOWdtxfjP9LgyHD9d-lKZ7o8X/s1600-h/Drayton+and+More+Meghan%27s+Camera+248.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309690386025891906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNjH8-S6sAGD11hoDWHvNILCM6NN-jErt9ou235w7HTV1xoWb7V4NmjCjBcdpIOQdCGwV9y5n3C-umqs-dQmA7kkpMd1vywnzI47jZna5qgB16nlhCUpEsOWdtxfjP9LgyHD9d-lKZ7o8X/s200/Drayton+and+More+Meghan%27s+Camera+248.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Come check out Tradd and Cooper in The Thorn, visit www.thethorn.net for ticket information.Kinney Kids Parentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597260852292413820noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098623358576986945.post-1941132770041353522009-02-24T21:28:00.002-05:002009-02-24T21:33:48.080-05:00Commercial Break<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MrcgmwPAZN4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MrcgmwPAZN4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />Meghan, the kids and I are involved in this production.

She was just sitting on my lap and while looking down at my pajama bottoms, she started making the sign for horse. I looked at her and then realized she saw the rodeo horses on my pj's!!! She is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">sooooooooooooooo</span> observant!! She's also very good with her receptive language skills. Here are some examples: last night I told her it was night night time and that I would read a book and she picked up her cup and walked back to her room. If you ask if she's hungry she'll go to her chair and wait for you to put her in. Or you can tell her to go to her chair for something to eat and she'll do it. She also does little chores for me like throwing away a diaper or picking trash off the floor and throwing it away. I could go on and on but I have to take Scott to work. Coleman amazes me and blesses me each day! Do you know the statistic that 90% of children who are diagnosed with Down <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Syndrome</span> via <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">amniocentesis</span> are aborted!!!!!!!!! That has got to change! I think that God may even use Coleman to be a spokesperson for these babies who have no voice. We'll see. Anyway, I can't imagine my life without her or her Down Syndrome!!!!Kinney Kids Parentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597260852292413820noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098623358576986945.post-39793528379797959842009-01-26T20:50:00.007-05:002009-01-26T21:26:34.840-05:00Time for an updateSaturday, despite the rainy and chilly weather we went to continue our Tourist In Your Own Town and headed off to Cypress Gardens. Tradd loves this place because of all the reptiles. It was the first "nice" day that we could get out without a ton of sweaters and jackets to do something. We really lucked out because they were having a Fossil show. All kinds of shark's teeth, bones, skeletons...it was really cool and the boys got to dig in a big tub for their own fossils. Flat Stanley from PA was along for our visit to Cypress Gardens. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div>Here are some pictures from our outing;</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3iEl-_yqDTQi3klbyncU4RKlki8V2XiOqIPJsaJSAmbPUOg3EWaTfxkLf5DoBEzlv4sW0cfbqbZnSbe5osdhzURGWWfqrIkpwZ0Ba2Z47kJ8lZG48LmDnG0NASYjwjHePmm2FA5T8nmNg/s1600-h/Tourist+in+your+own+town+026.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295788746717568866" style="WIDTH: 200px;

Charleston offers so many wonderful, beautiful and historical site to visit, so in the month of January, Charleston residents can purchase passes and go see the different sites for "free". The cost of the pass is way cheaper than if we paid to get into all the different sites - plus some of the sites hold little to no interest to the boys but Meghan and I enjoy them, so even if we only get to spend an hour or so there it is still a good deal. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdjFpeEuTa1Jv1dxBEKSr_JDs2jf6VfsSQ5GKJWGu_6-5oVNwedZmfMB2yGJYijCkOnsLiMvCUZVRUykMLTJ0KKltum0u6oIZ2xPspdYGD9ezNrCW8aGTvjJ-9WTvfao6KXGhJiNiVj8uE/s1600-h/Tourist+in+your+own+town+pics+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287066287989638834" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdjFpeEuTa1Jv1dxBEKSr_JDs2jf6VfsSQ5GKJWGu_6-5oVNwedZmfMB2yGJYijCkOnsLiMvCUZVRUykMLTJ0KKltum0u6oIZ2xPspdYGD9ezNrCW8aGTvjJ-9WTvfao6KXGhJiNiVj8uE/s200/Tourist+in+your+own+town+pics+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsAUQbztUDB_-UTmxjvSmEg5HMJC492i0evlA3sV3NZVy7YWNgRxAxdnwZG4n_ESuelL1FlXS4COw5dv5-bCMdo48SKLFc0tkpAMO4kNhdWAvmlSsSNsPERmmHY4uSuMVaDN2J84Phff-O/s1600-h/Tourist+in+your+own+town+pics+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287066293947275074" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsAUQbztUDB_-UTmxjvSmEg5HMJC492i0evlA3sV3NZVy7YWNgRxAxdnwZG4n_ESuelL1FlXS4COw5dv5-bCMdo48SKLFc0tkpAMO4kNhdWAvmlSsSNsPERmmHY4uSuMVaDN2J84Phff-O/s200/Tourist+in+your+own+town+pics+002.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8PvSlfiMrjunvR0-iaI_eTTiWhnAGEauRf9E-B3plqFnchCPgaa33xv9fsvNzHmvEth_zQkzhZr5nQzeQZAq7GPDXIRz4tjuYGgJHuRTpJIw3w90v7SX-7qgIVyVTelpN4bGE_eQEmW9Q/s1600-h/Tourist+in+your+own+town+pics+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287066304700512674" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8PvSlfiMrjunvR0-iaI_eTTiWhnAGEauRf9E-B3plqFnchCPgaa33xv9fsvNzHmvEth_zQkzhZr5nQzeQZAq7GPDXIRz4tjuYGgJHuRTpJIw3w90v7SX-7qgIVyVTelpN4bGE_eQEmW9Q/s200/Tourist+in+your+own+town+pics+006.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Today we kicked off the touring...Tradd, Cooper and I went and toured the U.S.S.

Sweet huh? Well, not so much. He said this after asking me to get him some play clothes so he could go outside. I told him he'd have to wait til I finished nursing. (I lock the boys' closet because Cooper would wear everything he owns in one day and also make a huge mess. So, when they need some clothes, I have to get it.) FYI Tradd discovered a loose tooth the other day. Very exciting new year ahead for all of us!Kinney Kids Parentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597260852292413820noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098623358576986945.post-53124895468137548012008-12-30T16:09:00.003-05:002008-12-30T16:22:31.715-05:00Cypress Gardens Trip<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Since I'm off work this week we always spend it doing fun family stuff around the Charleston area.
