He knows his name!

Here is a short video of Kaegan first saying his name and the word "Please". Too cute!

Like Father, Like Son!

Kaegan's Quilt

I just realized as I was looking thru my many pics of the past two months that I had not posted the incredible quilt that my Mom made with the fabrics given to us from you. The quilt is a Chinese adoption tradition. It is called a Good Luck Quilt. Meaning that our family and friends each give us a piece of fabric and write one wish or prayer to our child. It is the greatest idea ever. I have taken pictures of each fabric and have scrapbooked the fabric pictures with the prayer attached. It will be treasured by Keagan.

Each afternoon and night I wrap Kaegan in the quilt and we rock the night away. He will not lay his head down on my shoulder until I pick up the quilt and place it over his back. I love this moment.

Sleepover!

Kaegan spent the night at Ally and Aubrey's this week. Steph took some pictures of them in the bath tub and the shower. I am so proud of Kaegan. It was his idea to stay the night. As Steph was leaving the other night Kaegan jumped in her car and sat between the girls in the back seat. I went to grab him out and he said "Bye, Momma" while waving. Ally wanted him to spend the night and so did Steph. I gave in, packed his bag and had a wonderful FULL night sleep.

God Moments - "Complete"

Have you ever had a “God Moment?” You know, a moment where you just look up and say, “WOW!,” “You were right” or “So, that’s what You were trying to tell me.” A moment where God truly speaks to you through an action, a feeling or in some cases a moment filled with tears. For me it is a moment where He allows me to feel complete. I love and cherish each moment I have like this. I would like to share this one with you.

As I sit here rocking my precious boy in my arms I once again thank the Lord for this incredible gift of life. A gift I feel that is far more than what I deserve. Not only did I receive the gift of a son, allowing Marty and I to become a family, I also received the gift of completeness. Completeness… you ask? Well, as I think about this word and what it means to me at this very moment I reflect back to the previous experiences in my life where the Lord has allowed me to be complete.

On June 11, 1976 I was born into an incredible loving family. I am sure I drew my first breath with my Mom and Dad by my side. A moment filled with love, laughter and tears of joy. This is a moment in my life that I would consider myself complete.

At the age of 10, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. I truly new the Lord and dedicated my life to him. A moment in my life where I became complete.

On May 30, 1998 I married my loving husband Marty. This day was incredible. I vowed to love and cherish this man for the rest of my life. Not only that but he vowed to do the same for me. All of this was done in the Name of Jesus Christ. This was another moment that the Lord allowed me to be complete.

On March 3, 2009 The Lord blessed Marty and I with Kaegan Michiah He Liang Kent. A blessing that is truly beyond words. As I sit here listening to his every breath, feeling the pitter patter of his little heart, tears begin to fall. Tears of love… tears of joy…tears of peacefulness. A moment where I once again feel solely and whole heartedly complete. Complete in His arms, while holding my child in my arms. This is a God Moment to remember.

This is a moment that I hope and pray one day each of you will experience. A day of knowing God’s love. Those of you who are Christ believers, you know that God is there, you know faith, you know love but do you truly know AGAPE’ love. God’s love! That is what completeness is. A feeling of love that is so overwhelming you have to shed tears to control your excitement. A feeling of comfort where you want to fall to your knees and Thank Him for this undeserving love. A moment just like this one where I stop and wipe my tears, lift my child from lap and place him in his bed. All tucked in I gently kiss his cheek and quietly whisper, “Mommy Loves You.”

Kaegan's First Bo Bo!

Yep! Kaegan received his first bo bo. Marty and I were sitting in chairs while resting after working in the yard. Kaegan sat in Marty's lap and decided quickly that he wanted down. When getting down his foot got caught in the arm but his head continued downward. Kaegan hit head first on the grass. He did cry for a short moment but then got right back up on the chair and continued to get up and down.

Louisiana Tech 4 Year Letterman Crawfish Boil

We attended the LA Tech Letterman Crawfish Boil last night. It was a wonderful event that of course had all you can eat crawfish. We had not eaten crawfish this year so I was excited to go. This was also Kaegan's first time to see and eat crawfish. He liked playing with the crawfish and only ate the corn. I took a few pictures.

Chalk it up!

Chalking up the driveway!

Helping Mommy with the Laundry!

This is Kaegan's idea of helping Mommy with the laundry. Sitting the bucket that holds the socks eating a popsicle.

Going to MiMi and Pappy's

Mom has been wanting to keep Kaegan for the night so I could get some rest. After all we have been thru and Marty back in the hospital I decided that I would send Kaegan with her. I have not had one full night sleep since returning home. Checking on Kaegan and concerned for Marty how could I sleep? Mom was so excited when I told her he could stay the night. I told Kaegan about going to Mimi's and grabbed his suitcase that Tyler had given to him. He was so cute packing his clothes. I added a few toys and his toothbrush, zipped up the suitcase and Kaegan found the handle and began to pull it towards the car. I had to run to stop him so I could get my I Love You and Kisses. I managed to snap a few pics too.

Eggcellent Treats!!

After the egg hunt we made Rice Krispie Eggs. It was messy but fun.

Easter Egg Hunt at Home

Tyler and the family came over to hide eggs with Kaegan. This is the one day Marty felt good enough to move around. Kaegan dressed himself for the hunt and we all had a blast.

GeeGee and PawPaw's Egg Hunt

My Grand Parents have hosted a family easter egg hunt every year for as long as I can remember. This year was Kaegans first. You will see that he had a blast.

Easter Eggs

We were able to find time to dye eggs with Kaegan and his cousin Tyler. Here are pics of the fun.

Cutie!

Say Cheese!

Now that I am a picture taking camera fanatic I thought it was time to teach Kaegan how to say "Cheese." This is what I got!

Kaegan's First Concert

While I am in hospital with Marty I thought I'd post pics of the past few weeks. These are the ones that I have downloaded. There are more but again they are still in my camera. These will have to work for the Kaegan Junkies for now.

These are pics from Kaegan's first concert. Mercy Me, Jeremy Camp and more. Nothing is more precious than praising the Lord with your son at your side joining in.
