Chez Killpack: October 2008

Tuesday 28 October 2008

Happy Birthday and thank you to my son!

Dakota Lovell Killpack, 6 lbs. 15 oz., 19 in.

Dakota, you were born at 2:13 pm on 10-27-93 and we could feel our world shift in that minute. As your dad and I held and looked at you, we knew we would give you all of ourselves. Life with you has been an adventure as you have taught us both how to view the world with the speed, depth and curiousity that you were blessed with. Laughter is what you give to others. You are a light in our lives and have made these past 15 years with you an absolute joy. My dearest son...thank you for the ride! You hold our hearts.

gratitude thought: For Dakota........

It's over!!

Patricia is breathing easy again as she just finished two talks back to back. One in the ward and the other in Stake Conference. It was her first time EVER speaking in front so many people. There has been no dance piece or ballet class that has ever made her legs as numb as the walk today to the podium. She couldn't feel her legs until she sat back down.

Daniel went back to the airport today as he traveled to Montreal for the week. He is still ill (something he ate) from his trip to India. Hopefully he can get some needed rest in the hotel.

Dakota had a tough, tough Biomath midterm and a crazy hard Natural Hazards exam. His studying has increased where he takes the laptop to bed and studies right up until time to sleep. He's loving school!

Jewel, continues to enjoy her gymnastics class and all the new tricks there are to learn...she has her first parent/teacher conference this week.

gratitude thought: The talks are OVER!
