It is apparent that Hale is taking after his father, as he has learned at a young age to give kisses! Watch out next time you hold him - he's bound to plant a big wet one on your cheek, chin or even smack on the lips!
It's season premier week and with that comes our weekly Friends Night! Hale is excited to hang out with the boys tonight...Jackson, Ian and Brooks. What a crew!
Yes, it's true...Hale attended his first bachelor party last night! Actually, it was a co-bachelor/bachelorette party, but Hale was definitely getting more attention than the bride and groom-to-be. As you can imagine, Kevin and I were the only ones who showed up with a kid, and we were the first to leave, but it we like to think we are setting a good example for our friends that kids like to get out of the house every now and then, too, rather than finding a babysitter at every opportunity!
To Hale's grandparents:
Don't worry - we made our exit before the REAL party started!
Actually, poor Shelby was in "pre-labor" for about a week. How soon we forget about the uncomfortable few days leading up to delivery!! She was a real trooper and we're so proud of her.
Tuesday night, after (a mere) three hours of labor, Shelby and Kent had a bouncing baby boy!
At 9:48pm, Tuesday, September 3rd, Brooks Kenton was born. He weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce and was 21-1/2 inches long. He is a little slice of heaven, with light complexion and his mother's nose. Thank the Lord for a safe and speedy delivery!
Just wanted to share a bit of good news with you all. Kevin interviewed for and was offered a full-time position with Whitley County Consolidated Schools! Up until now, he has been working there on a consultant basis, and while that worked out well for us this past year, a regular position affords him a greater degree of job security. We feel so fortunate for this opportunity. Thank you to all who have kept us in your thoughts and prayers throughout this situation. Yeah, Kevin!!!!
