Happy Birthday Keagan

  Our beautiful Keagan turned 4 today!  She was so excited from the moment she woke up she asked "Whens my party?  Is it my party yet?".  All day long she asked "Is it still my birthday?".  We started the day off with her present from Kabree; a doctor set, and she played with it all day!  She enjoyed macaroni and cheese for lunch and couldn't wait for Kabree to come home from school to play with her.
  This girl is obsessed with mustaches the last few months so of coarse she wanted a mustache birthday party!  Grandma Jane made the cake, got us photo booth props and the mustache balloons! Keagan LOVED all of it!!!  For dinner she asked for her favorite foods; pretzel bites, popcorn and caramel brownies.  She loved having lots of "patients" to try out her Doctor set on!  We had so much fun celebrating our beautiful brown eyed girl and couldn't love her more if we tried!!!  We love you Kiki!!!

Jesse, Annika and Keagan

  The girls birthdays are always emotional for me.  The fact that my babies are not babies anymore and are growing way to fast, but also the memories of the days they were born.  Open Adoption is an emotional, ugly, rewarding, beautiful thing all wrapped into one.  Words could never express my love and appreciation for Jesse and Heather and for all the sacrifices they made that made us Keagans parents.  Open adoption can be a wonderful blessing, but it's hard and sometimes one side is on a different page than the other.  It's like the rest of life; a constant balancing act.  We truly missed Heather but are glad that Jesse and Annika were able to come celebrate Keagan with us.
