There's a first for everything....



I truly enjoy blogging about our journey as parents and sharing all the pictures of our family with you...but most of all I hope that one day Kennedy and Presley will love reading this blog and cherish each memory I have tried to capture for them. Our girls bring us so much joy everyday!

Guess Who is One??!! Landon is!

Every day I realize more and more how time flies...and it seems like just yesterday Todd and Holly were headed to the hospital to welcome baby Landon into the world!  Today was his first birhday party and it was lots of fun.  He LOvEs cars, is walking all around, and eats cake like a true Birnie  :)  He is such a happy little boy too!  Next birthday on the Birnie list...that would be Kennedy Anne's!  Told you, time flies!
This is just the beginning!
Blowing out the candles with mommy and daddy.
Daddy and Landon :)
I'm such a big boy now!
Landon loves trains too.
Baby Kennedy was at the party too :)

Our Maternity Photo Shoot...Finally!

After rescheduling THREE times due to Florida's typical summer weather...we finally met up with Melody Dowdy for our photo shoot in Palm Coast.  She brought us to a hidden gem beach and also to Washington Oaks Gardens for some shots.  Despite the bugs, heat and humidity, and Rusty taking on a few waves fully clothed on the beach (visual, haha), I can't wait to see how they all come out.  Check out the sneak peek at the top of the blog....stay tuned for many more in the next couple weeks!  Melody is so talented and creative, let's just hope her models pulled off the rest!  :)

Cape Cod Family Vacation...Our little Kennedy in the Cape, haha!

Last summer it was Viva Las Vegas....this summer almost all the Birnie children and their families headed north to the beautiful Cape Cod to meet up with more family.  It was a great trip filled with lots of memories.  Baby G was once again showered with love thanks to Nini and Auntie...we are so blessed and thankful.  Here are some of the highlights of the Cape (I will try to keep them to a minimum!)....................

Little Miss Audrey
Taylor "Monkey" Birnie with Wrutty :)

Lots of presents for Baby G!

The Princess' Furniture has arrived!

Rusty and I are busy getting Baby G's room ready for her big arrival into this world.  Her nursery furniture is beautiful and we are so happy with it.  Mommy is still organizing her room, making progress and then changing her mind of course!  It will all come together though...either way, she won't notice right away :)  We just want everything to be PeRfeCt!
The truck load from Gainesville....Creations Baby.

Proud Mommy and Daddy :)
The baby is taking over!!!!

The pink crystal knobs for that girly touch :)

 The awesome closet organizer Rusty put in...now to get it organized! And yes, she may have more clothes than me when this is all said and done!

Showered with LoVe!

Kennedy's first baby shower was just perfect and so sweet in every way!  A special shout out to Aunt Chab, Aunt Holly, Aunt Julie, Maw Maw, and Uncle Bucci for hosting the shower for us, we are all smiles still!  We are truly blessed by so many family and friends that love us...and her already!  We were overwhelmed with the the gifts we received...in a good way!  Bringing it all home made it reality very quickly that she will be here before we know it.  Now for the fun part...putting it all away! :)

The awesome running stroller cake Tabatha's friend made!

The super cute diaper cake from Aunt Holly!

Good friends and family were all there to shower baby G!

Spoiled (in a good way) already!


Little miss Kennedy has more clothes than most do and she hasn't even arrived in this world yet. And yes, those that know me know well know she will be my favorite shopping buddy! We have a couples baby shower this weekend too which I am sure will add to her collection. Can't wait! I had to share one of the gifts we received early from our old neighbor friends. LoVe this sweet towel and can't wait to wrap her up in it :)  Daddy is such a good sport too modeling it for you all!  I will post more pics soon from the shower.
