Hi Everyone,
Sorry it has once again, been nearly a month since our last update. Finding the right words escapes me most days. I feel at times that the end is drawing near for Kadin’s website. We would never deactivate it, but I feel like the purpose that we opened it has long since passed and continuing on in this format seems wrong at times. I have thought many times that I should start another blog for our “faithful followers” that focuses on how we are doing and how Avery is growing up.
We have been busy as usual. Billy and I work opposite shifts and yet we still manage to make family time work together everyday. I also work 1 weekend a month, so Billy definitely has his hands full. I am just coming off 7 days strait and I am exhausted. I am looking forward to decompressing this weeknd with Avery. Billy has to work this weekend so I get to spend some time with Avery by myself on Saturday…if she’ll tolerate me. She just LOVES her daddy. She hardly wants anything to do with me anymore these days…
She continues to amaze us everyday. She is getting so big. And is still the complete polar opposite of her big brother in every way. But even though they are so different, it is amazing how much she reminds us of him…She’s a mess. And we are just so in love with every little bit of it. She is 9 months old now. 9 months, where has the time gone? She is into everything and loves to wave bye-bye and hello. She is still as smiley as ever. And has 10 teeth, 6 up top and 4 on the bottom. And loves to eat. Any day now she will be walking. She stands all on her own and likes to try to figure things out on her own, too. She doesn’t want any help, but angers easily if the task becomes too difficult.
September is coming upon us soon, and as always in honor and memory of Kadin, we have decided to do something for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. While we were at Six Flags in July with Tony, Mia, Kayla, and Nana, I noticed a sign about a walk in the park to cure childhood cancer. So I looked it up and Billy and I have decided to walk at the park to raise money for childhood cancer awareness and to help those family affected by this disease. We have set a moderate goal of $1000, so donate if you can. We will match everything up to $500, just to be sure we reach our goal. We are very excited. When I was reading about it online, I thought to myself, that this was something Kadin would efinitley want to do…So faithful followers, we are calling on you to help us raise money for this excellent cause and to honor Kadin. We would be so honored if you would help us honor him. On a side not, this is a nationwide event, at every Six Flag theme Park in the U.S, so if you live near a Six Flags, you might want to start your own team and walk in your area. It will likely benefit the pediatric cancer center in your area as well.

Once again, we are so honored and so humbled by the amount of support we still receive. It is testament to Kadin’s life, that he was so special and touched so many in the short time he had here on Earth. I am truly thankful and blessed beyond measure for the joy I have in my life because I was lucky enough to be his Mom.
Hi Bubba! We love and miss you so much. Avery is getting to be so big! She is almost too much to handle!! WHAT? Crazy, I know. She is not a typical girl, but you already knew that didn’t you? You’re the best. Always and forever missing and loving you….Momma
