Kennedy's 8th birthday

I am old enough to have a child be baptized? I guess so. I have been thinking about what day we would have done her baptism, which wouldn't be this weekend because of conference, but most likely the following Saturday...I think the morning would have been nice.


When I was a little girl I was given a handkerchief with a poem talking about the "3 white dresses"...the blessing one, the baptismal one, and the wedding one. Kennedy was also given something to that affect. It was a little rose on a string...a bracelet that could be worn on these three occasions. So Kennedy would have possibly warn that rose on her baptism day (well, I guess if I could have actually found it in time!). But instead she had two white dresses, her blessing and her burial. Some people told me that I could have her wear her favorite clothes, or pjs, or something else. But for some reason I wanted her in white, I guess to maybe look like my new guardian angel...I don't know. But she wore white. 2 white dresses.

I kept very busy today and was trying to focus on potty training Mckinley...but then I went to look at some of Kennedy's little videos and pics this evening with the kids and when I pulled up iPhoto it popped up and said:

"no photos"

my dear computer...today is not the day to tell me that out of the hundreds or more pictures that I have stored on my computer, not one is left...today I just don't have the energy to even comprehend such a loss...please fix yourself so in the morning I don't have to throw you out the window and drive over you multiple times...
