Kendra made the cake
it is suppose to be a cupcake animal cracker carousel.
Kendra had a great time using Grammy's cake supplies.
She is NOT an extrovert.
and she is a master of the dead pan look.
She did try to blow out her own candle though.
And Aunt Cindy made her the cute outfit and bow.
Isn't it CUTE!
We had a big pot luck dinner at our church.
Our family had been through so much ...
She is named after my mom
- whom we lost on Mother's day while I was about 16 or 17 weeks pregnant with LaRue.
Mom picked out her name.

Then I had a rougher pregnancy than with Joel
and ended up delivering her in the hospital
rather than her planned home birth.
Thankfully, not a C-Section.

Then at 6 weeks, there was the car accident ...
and the week in the hospital with her.

And everything we went though with Aunt Karen and baby Paul.

And the ongoing status of "needing a job".
So we had a potluck.
Invited all our friends and family.
Celebrated new life.
New beginnings.
And happy Nows.
Because it's not an ending yet.
And tomorrow is no guarantee.
God is Good - All the Time.
