We have the most preciously adorable niece!!!! They don't get much cuter than this!!

Does your man have a crush?

Some of you may not be familiar with the term "man crush", and some of you might actually have a man crush or your boyfriend or husband has one. It is an interesting new term that has actually been around for a while...we just didn't know what to call it.

Matt Damon & Ben Affleck.....perfect example!

Personally I think of it as two men who have a ridiculous amount in common and could seriously be brothers! They think alike, act alike, have the same nastasciousness level!

The Urban Dictionary defines it like this:
1.
Man Crush
When a straight man has a "crush" on another man, not sexual but kind of idolizing him.

Some of you might be thinking this is not a good thing...but actually it is...well, it can be. My husband and his man crush are hilarious...making fun of them is the hilarious part. Jennifer and I enjoy harassing them about crushing on one another. If their picture was next to the definition, I think it would be this one!

Kenny and Scott enjoying some chocolate fondue at the Melting Pot! They both had the clever idea to put it all over their teeth...just one example of how much they are alike! Don't worry...Jennifer and I were there too! We just changed seats around to take pictures.

Splish Splash!!

Ellie and Aubrey are getting so big so quickly! It has been super hot, so we decided to give the girls a little swimming pool. They were too cute, so of course I had to grab the camera!!!

Drum Roll Please!!!!.......

Introducing.....................................................the newest members of the family.................................
Ellie & Aubrey! They are soooooooo cute and sweet! Our great friends Tina and Dan gave us first pick of the litter! They had 10 puppies, so we HAD to take 2! Presently, they are only 4 weeks old...but growing very rapidly. They already come when we call them...we think they are the smartest puppies ever! I would post pictures, but my camera is giving me fits....so maybe later!

Picking up the pieces...

Addi would be 2 months young now, and our life is unusually falling back into place. It is crazy and awkward how everyday life continues amongst your overwhelming pain and determination to avoid your "everyday life". It feels wrong and unmotherly to continue with our lives and mostly, to get back to enjoying our lives. Along with those feelings, we also feel that Addi was an enormous blessing and we should continue to celebrate her life and remember the joy that she gave us for 38 weeks. We know that God must have something special in store for us, but waiting is difficult. We trust in his word that he will give us our hearts desires and he has blessed us so greatly with one another, wonderful family, fabulous friends, an adorable place to live, wonderful jobs, and the love of Jesus Christ. So if waiting is what is in His plan for us, then waiting we will do.
There are several things stiring in the Chastain world here lately. Between moving, starting a new business, and all the other things we juggle....we have a lot on our plate. Thank goodness it is summer time! With it being summer time, I figured it was a good time to begin blogging again.

Pictures and Prayers

We have a zillion pictures of our beautiful baby girl...but for time and space sake, we can only post a few. She is an absolute angel and each time I look at her pictures I fall more and more in love with her.

We are so extremely blessed to have such wonderful support from all areas of our lives. We cannot possibly thank everyone who has prayed, supported, and/or helped us in some way. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our angel is flying

Our precious Addi is now with our Father, flying with a brand new set of wings. God showed us just how Great He is throughout the pregnancy and birth of our little Addi. We are still so enormously heart broken and crushed, but we do have a better understanding now of the challenges that our precious angel would have faced if she had lived. The birth alone would have been too much for her little body. Addi's earthsuit was so fragile and delicately formed...she was beautiful. It is an absolute miracle that she lived for 38 weeks. God's guardian angel's had to be protecting her throughout my pregnancy. We were in awe of how tiny and precious she was.
We are comforted in knowing that her Papa was waiting on her at the gates of Heaven. I am sure that her Papa is flying her around Heaven and showing her all the glorious sights. We are so excited about preparing ourselves and our future children for the day that we will join Addi in Heaven.
We will post more pictures later...we had a photographer so graciously come and take pictures for us.
Thank you for all that have visited, called, and prayed for us. We love you all so much and cannot that you enough.
Love,
Kenny and Kathi
