It's a Wonderful Life!

We would like to take a minute to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year! As we approach the end of 2009, we would like to express our gratitude to our family and friends who have shown their unwaivering support to us over this past year. It has been quite the emotional roller coaster with the birth of our beautiful boy and then so shortly after, the loss of employment. We honestly cannot adequately explain our deep appreciation for those who have kept our spirits high, lent a shoulder to cry on, or just listened in a time of need. Our little family has so much to be grateful for! We are truly blessed and we know that it is the hand of the Lord in our lives. He has watched over us and has always provided a way to get through our trials. We know that these trials have strengthened and humbled our family and we know that we will carry the lessons learned from them throughout our lives. Thank you again. We love you!
-Jonathan, Kayley & Jack

One Week Old!

Today our little man is one week old. Such a big boy! Even though Jack has been tied to his light bed almost the full duration of his young life, we are loving every second with him. He is such a miracle. We are extremely thankful to our Heavenly Father for this little guy. Which brings me to my next topic, Jack's name. The name Jack means, God is Gracious. It also is a second name or nickname for Jon. Even before we knew what the name meant or even that he was a boy, Jack had always been one our favorite names. We especially liked how well it went with his Granddad's name, Kelly. So only 3 months into the pregnancy and Jack Kelly was our #1 boy name. And now after we've seen him and have got to know him, Jack Kelly is a very fitting and beautiful name for our little boy.

Oh Kayley Kayley, I am so glad he is FINALLY here! He is beautiful. Wow how things have changed. When I had my babies I had to put Brooke back in the hospital because she had jaundice too. That's nice you can have him at home. Enjoy him because pretty soon you'll blink your eyes and he'll be 25!!!!! Love ya!
