Thinking of Kenzie

As Kristie's tummy grows and Kenzie is bouncing all around in there (at our last doctor's visit, the doctor put the device to hear the heartbeat on Kristie's stomach and Kenzie promply kicked it), I have started devising how to spend our time together.

I can't wait to read Dr. Seuss to her and tell her bedtime stories (like my grandmother did for me).

I'm thinking of getting a four wheeler to take her on the paths my father took me on our little Yamaha 60 motorcycle (which Casey has in our garage, but I fear it's beyond salvage).

Legos. Don't even get me started on those. Kenzie is going to have more Legos than she knows what to do with (but that's what she has me for!)

Bike rides. Kristie's new bike already has a little stand on the back that we could affix a child seat to. I can't wait to go jogging with Kenzie in her little stroller.

Trips to the beach and the lake. Three summers ago we would meet Lon and Sara and their little girl, Rhylee, there. It was a blast. Now it will be our turn.

Then there are all the holidays. Oh man! Halloween is going to be great. Then Christmas, the Fourth of July, my birthday! How I can't wait.

In fact, I even have a spot picked out for our first tree house.

Here is the tree.



And here is the perfect spot. We'll have one of those rope ladders. Now, you ask, who will build it? That's a good question. But I figure I have at least five years to perfect my carpentry skills (okay, to acquire some carpentry skills - and tools too).
