Daddy's little girl or Mommy's little girl?

People are always trying to guess who Kenley looks more like so I've put together some photos to compare. What do you think?

Happy Father's Day!

Matt and I had a very full weekend celebrating his first Father's Day. Our weekend started Friday with dinner at Hacienda Colorado, one of Matt's favorite restaurants, followed by some game playing at Dave and Buster's. Kenley got to spend the night with the Yeagers and Taplins while mommy took daddy out to honor him for being so great! I wanted to have one night focused on Matt since the remainder of the weekend was going to be spent with family honoring all dads everywhere. I also needed to take Matt out so he could be surprised by Chris and Brittany who flew into town as a Father's day gift to Matt and Doug (Matt's dad). Matt had no idea they were coming and it was really fun watching his reaction when he realized they were there. Thanks Yeagers and Taplins for making the surprise possible! Saturday morning we spent the day relaxing and simply enjoying each other's company. We walked to Starbucks (mainly so Chris could "Bjorn it" with Kenley), Matt and Chris made us girls lunch and then we drove into Boulder to walk around Pearl Street. Doug has been playing in a golf tournament in Omaha, so he flew in Sunday morning and drove to Boulder to meet the rest of us for the day. As he walked into our house, it took him a moment to realize Chris and Brittany were there too but once he did he started laughing and asked "what are you doing here?" The whole Walker family was together for the first time since Kenley was born. Katie and Deb prepared brunch followed by a family picture (which I'll post once Katie edits it). Sunday afternoon we headed into Eben G. Fine park in Boulder for some Bocce ball and to tube Boudler Creek. Even though the water was running high and it was a little rainy, the Walker men braved the Boulder Creek rapids. Around 4:30 my parents, Scott and Scott's new GF Libby met us in the park. We stayed and played in the park and the creek until 6pm at which point we went home to clean up and then to BJs in Westminster for a big family dinner. While it was action packed and slightly exhausting, it was a great weekend with family! I hope in the midst of it all, my dad, Doug and Matt felt celebrated.

I Work Hard for the Money

I just put Kenley to bed and Matt is out longboarding with some Young Life guys, so my house is very quiet. As you might be able to tell from my one lonely post over the past 2 weeks, I am starting a new stage in my life as a working mom. I am working from home 3 days a week which makes working full time possible. It is such a blessing that I even have that option and that Matt has the flexibility in his schedule to take Kenley whenever my job doesn't allow me to watch her. At work, I have gotten right back into the thick of things which I like, but it also makes the balance challenging while working from home. For someone like me, who is a planner, having a baby makes you anxious because there is no way to predict what comes next. I am learning about letting go of control, slowly albeit, which is really good for me. I'm sure once the fall hits Matt and I will need to revise our plan, but for now it seems like it's going to work for us. As for Kenley, she has been developing new skills every day it seems. As you can see from the videos, last week she developed the ability to reach and grab for things AND she learned to roll over, which she is now a pro at. It's hard because I know I am going to miss things while I'm at work, but the fact that she is with her Daddy or her Memaw or her Grandma makes it okay.
