Our First Grandbaby ~ Kooper

 Kurtis & Kristen went into the hospital on Sunday evening, and the adventure began....

LeAnn witnessed one of the toughest and most beautiful experiences of her life. She had the privilege of being in the delivery room and watching a birth for the very first time. It was incredible and heart breaking and everything inbetween. Kristen is a rockstar and handled almost 40 hours of labor, many hours of pushing, and a c-section, with determination, perseverance, and grace. 

 Kurtis was so cute and tender with her every step of the way. These 2 are amazing parents and it’s so fun to watch them love on their sweet baby Koop. 

 A few takeaways....

Our amazing kids do hard things and are beautifully figuring out their own unique path.

In awe of the instant connection a new baby brings to families. 

God is in the details of our lives and tender mercies abound when we look for them.

Being a Mema & Pop is the best!

Kato meets Kooper - Kato LOVES to lick him

Pure heaven cuddling sweet baby Koop

Nutmeg got to meet Kooper, sniffed a little and then ignored him.  Silly Nutty.

Christmas Break

So fun having Nick & Justin come home for a couple weeks.  We played pickleball, games, went out to eat, they came to church with us twice, and Justin even sang in the choir with LeAnn💙

Everyone made yummy meals

We celebrated Christmas late Christmas night and were able to connect with Brandon, Sarah & Sarah's mom over zoom and play Kahoot ~ talking about our word for 2024

Best surprise EVER ~ LeAnn got Jeff a riding lawnmower🥳

Thanks to Nick & Kurt for helping make it happen.

Moved Kurt & Kristen to their new home while Kurt & Jeff were flying.  Couldn't have done it without Nick & Justin, they helped do pretty much everything (unfortunately didn't get a picture of them).  Jeff was able to put the crib, chair, and beds together when he got back.  Kato loves his new king size bed. 

Grandma made a beautiful afghan for Kooper in between her surgeries. 

Jess came over a few times for games and dinner.  Dogs chillin.  Our word for 2024 - Connection.  Kurt sitting on reserve and hanging out at 6 Flags in Dallas.
