New to Blogging

Hello all! I am taking Kari's advice and starting a blog page for our family and friends. I don't know what I am doing so bear with me over the next few weeks. I love the idea of keeping up with others and sharing about my own family's busy and fun lives.

We are currently testing Karroll to see if he can be Major's kidney donor. So far, his blood work looks good and next week he has an ultrasound of his kidneys and bladder. If all goes well, we will be able to schedule Major and Karroll's kidney swap in the next few months. Major still needs a few urological surgeries to correct the obstruction in his urethera and prepare his bladder for an adult size and functioning kidney. We are both excited and nervous about another life changing event. But we know God is in total control!!! We have chosen the transplant center in San Antonio.

Taylor is ready to start first grade in the next few weeks and I am ready too. The sibling rivarly over the past week is unbearable. I am ready to play mom again not referee. Taylor will also start soccer this Fall and I will live vicariously through her soccer energy. Sydney has chosen to take ballet and tap this Fall. She is such a graceful girlie girl! She will also be in preschool three days a week .

Karroll has been having fun creating a new landscape at our new house. We moved across the street in April. We had admired this house for years and finally the owners decided to move and asked us if we wanted their house. Well it must have been in God's plan because we sold our own house in 8 days and moved here soon after. I can see us living here until the kids graduate high school. We have a nice greenbelt in the back and enough room to spread out some! He is going to plant four new trees tomorrow with the help of a neighbor.

This is like a regular ol' family reunion with all of us blogging! Glad to have you on board and I love getting to see your sweet kiddos.

We are glad you have started blogging. I'm not real good at it. As a matter of fact I think I went 2 years between blogs. I'm blogging right now because we are on vacation in Colorado. I don't know if my kids are reading it or not. But it's there for the reading! It's good to see pics of your kids and to hear about all the happenings in the Key family!
