Connecting with the Kahls: December 2008

That Christmas love that you see above....that was real Christmas love shared over and over and over during our Christmas festivitives! It was an amazing Christmas. We are so blessed by our families. Most of all though, we are blessed to be loved by Christ - the reason we celebrate this awesome season! His love and grace fill our hearts and souls beyond our comprehension. What a truly amazing gift. We are so blessed!

Look what I found in my parent's basement!!! It's my ski pants and coat from jr. high. Don't I look like hot stuff?!!! Still kept me dry while I played outside - I can handle embarrassing colorfullness in front of the neighbors, if it means I get to play outside with the fam!!!

And, here is what I got to do while wearing the "Hot Suit" - Frosty loved me for who I was, even if I was stuck in the 90's!

It has been a little over a month since I last posted, and as always, we have been busy with all sorts of fun stuff! There have been basketball games galore, 4 birthday parties, Thanksgiving, a trip to Minneapolis, Top Gun, Meals on Wheels, and a Tonsilectomy/Adneoidectomy with ear tubes inserted - to top it all off!

Life doesn't seem to get dull for this Kahl family, that is FOR SURE! All of our experiences and adventures seem to bring more personality growth to the little rascals we call Tyler and Kenna. It has been fun to watch as it all plays out. Their little personalities just really shine.

Tyler - definitely has the first child need to be in charge and right most of the time. He makes up games, and wants everyone to play them. He is very creative, and also very analytical. His tender heart shines with care and love for others. He loves his little buddies, and they have a grand ole' time rippin' around together!

Kenna - SPUNK SPUNK SPUNK. This girl knows what she wants, and is not afraid to let others know as well. At the same time, she is such a LOVER. She can melt a person's heart in about 2 seconds with her hugs and snuggles. She is nurturing - loving her babies, and taking care of her brother when he is down.

Together - they love one another. Yes, they fight often enough. But, they also miss each other when they are away from one another. They are concerned when the other is hurt or sad, and they love to hold hands and help each other out....melts a mommy's heart!!!

Admidst the fun activities in life, it is fun to have the chance to step back and watch these two little people grow into their own. And I know, every year will bring more and more of that.

Here's a few pics to recap our past month's life experiences:
