Stay At Home Mom






I think it is a privilege and a blessing that I get to stay home with my kids!  However this mom is not exactly a stay at home mom.  We once again have spent the last week enjoying all that South Texas has to offer.  Including a few trips to the museum and aquarium, playdates, dance class and all the beautiful parks!  This week Kaleigh even got to touch some snakes, turtles and a baby alligator.  So fun and I get to be there for it all!  All the smiles, laughs and even the cries but I wouldn't trade it for the world.  God is good!

Well The McKennas just returned home from an awesome trip to Disney World! We enjoyed some time with our dear friends the Hagers, then saw the Noce/Izaguirre family and then all the McKennas came into town to enjoy some days at the Disney parks. The girls absolutely loved Disney especially the Princess Breakfast at Epcot and the Electric parade at the Magic Kingdom. It was just a joy to watch my kids light up with pure amazement, eyes wide, mouths opened and loving every minute of it. Well maybe not every minute we of course had a few meltdowns due to the demands of a Disney trip on little ones but overall they really rocked. We survived our days at the parks thanks to an awesome family effort. Everyone chipped in to make it an extremely special time for both girls. As we entered the Magic Kingdom Kaleigh's only words were, "I can't believe my eyes!" It was so fun. Unfortuantely my camera battery died just before our time in the parks so here are pics from the beginning of the week. I'll share more when I get them from Grandmere and Aunt Katie. Thanks again Grandmere and Grandpa for a great vacation!
