Kellen - Irish meaning strong

Trey - English meaning third born son

My strong third born son, you have brought me immeasurable joy when I thought there was no more to be had by motherhood. You have softened the hearts of many with your cherubic glow. Your siblings know more generosity and love because of your ready smile. You have calmed a teenage soul in the waves of challenge he calls life. You have stopped the craziness I call life with your demands for love and the gift it gives back. We are so much better for having had you join our family ... in only six months you have changed the world. Ours.

It has been craziness here the last couple weeks. It's always craziness, but this week and next the daddy is not around to help. I have been wanting someone to update this thing we are counting as our family journal, but there were no takers.

We had an amazing experience on the USS Midway in San Diego. We got a personal tour from our very own Navy pilot veteran, Grampy Bear. It was so meaningful to be with the person who made the sacrifice for our country. Grampy bear was humble, but my heart was filled with pride. Grampy bear was on the USS Ticonderoga, and we are so happy that he came home safe to spend the rest of this life with us. Thanks so much!!!!!!
