I Am Very Thankful For....

This little girl who lays by the fire and doesn't make a peep

Our "New Sis"
Who incidentally continues to be perfect in every way and who is 6 1/2 pounds now

My little snow princess who I could not love more

My favorite son who is finally as tall as his younger sister
And my photogenic and very fashionable second born

Morgan who came home from Portland early to help me get through Black Friday

Cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents to spend holidays with
also my family who I missed terribly

And Raleigh and Allie of course.

And Tylenol

Anonymous said...: You truly do have so much to be thankful for...there is nothing more wonderful than a house full of beautiful, smart, well behaved, kind, angelic children, someday I hope you get that but in the meantime, you sure do have a LOT of children...and they ARE beautiful and smart, for sure. I love the picture of Kaleigh in front of the fireplace, she's changing already. I hope you survive this holiday weekend and...GO COUGARS!!!; November 26, 2010 at 5:45 PM
The fly-fisherman's wife said...: Goodness what a darling family. I still can't believe how tiny that little Kaleigh is. By the time I see her, she might weigh as much as my boys did at birth! When I took Garrett to the doctor for his 1 week check up, he had gained 1 1/2 pounds... almost 10 pounds, and he had been sick and in the hospital for 4 of those days.
Anyway, we can't wait to see your family. Hopefully, it will be soon. BTW, I love Peyton's jacket and boots. Way cute. We are thankful for your family too.; November 27, 2010 at 7:12 AM

Who we are, where we've been and where we are going

We are the Lunds. And some of us are Koenigs. And this is our life. I am Kaci and I am the creator/author/historian of this blog. What I write, I write with two goals in mind... To keep my family totally and completely involved in all of our doings and to keep a record of our life events. That is all it is...

I had four children from a previous marriage as well as a whole lot of baggage. And maybe that might have discouraged a lesser man from pursuing me, but luckily for me the stars aligned and a very good, honest, brave, not to mention super sexy boy took a chance on me. And pursue me he did... to flattering proportions.

In 2008, I married the Love of My Life. I didn't know being married could be this wonderful and happy. I didn't know that being in love feels like THIS. I didn't know that truly being loved and correctly taken care of is the greatest blessing a girl can have in her life. I thank my Heavenly Father a few times a day for guiding my path to the greatest of my treasures. It was a rough and long road but so worth the journey.

In 2009, we had our Sweet Peyton. She is a Lund all the way from her confidence level and mild mannered disposition right on down to her perfectly round and rather large head. What a blessing she is to our home and our life.

In 2010, we had Kaleigh. She is little and darling but don't let her tiny stature fool you. This girl can take care of herself. She climbs on EVERYTHING!!! And is afraid of NOTHING!

What a complete joy she has been, our little elf.

And in 2011, we had Ryker. We weren't really sure what to do with a boy. It's been a long time. But he is the exclamation point on our little family and we love him with all of our hearts.

My "big kids" (I call them), mean the world to me. I could not do this without them. They make me laugh, keep me young, make me feel pretty, lighten my load, make me proud, love me anyway and challenge me too. We've been through a lot,

the five of us, but they are superior kids because they've weathered the storm.

We are a pretty crazy and energetic family. There are constant comings and goings and hysterical happenings. These are our stories. And they are all true. Flowered up maybe, but certainly true.

Enjoy
