Fall 2010

   So, though I did manage to get a Thanksgiving post in I have not updated you all on the life of the Keenums in a while. Where to begin...
   Well, Matthew is now the Head of the AV department at Ross Bridge. It is a lot more responsibility for a smidgen of more pay. But I am super excited for him! He likes it so far. Although, his first week on the job he was asked to let go the only other AV guy there who also happens to be a good friend. That was very upsetting and a very difficult position to be put in. He struggled with that for many reasons. Thankfully, the Lord quickly provided a great job opportunity for his friend and we believe strongly that God has big plans for him and his amazing wife! (We REALLY do!) Anyway, he is really starting to get the hang of the new department and is enjoying his new role at Ross Bridge. During the holiday season he is also working part time at Costco. It has great pay! And even though he still works too much, it has been a blessing. I am so proud of my husband for being such a devoted provider for this family.

Let see, who's next...
  
Well, Cayden had a birthday! He is the big 3! We now have to pay for him to go to the movies with us, lol. He has really shown a new attitude for this year of his life. Not quite sure its a good one. ;) He is much more boy now! I LOVE that! He is chasing cars, scaring his sister, and unfortunately shooting his "laser" at people. He is making me feel much more at home, as I grew up with two older brothers. Don't get me wrong I just love my little girl. But there is nothing like having a boy in the house to make life interesting.
  
 Kaylee is growing so fast. She amazes me everyday with how intelligent she is. I am worried she is about to surpass me already! ;) She is going to turn four in just four short days. I sometimes wonder if she is turning 14! She has some mood swings, but she is the best sister and daughter anyone could ever ask for. She loves helping me with anything, but mostly loves taking care of the boys. She has learned she can pick Hudson up. Which, will not last long as he is almost caught up to them in height and weight. She will make a great mommy one day... a VERY VERY VERY long time from now. Ha!

   Both the babies celebrated their birthdays on Thanksgiving weekend! We had a joint birthday party for them. The theme was Alvin and The Chipmunks! They had a blast!
  
   As for me... well, what can I say. Life is about the same. Still at home with my babies (all three of them). The only thing that has changed for me lately is that I had some health issues going on. I have been in and out of the doctors office all fall. But I now know that the medication I was taking was causing all my "problems" and after a rough, rough "detox" (for lack of a better word) I am a new woman! The doctors did give me a scare a few times in the process though. First they said they thought I had Thyroid problems, blood work came back clear. Then they did a MRI and found two pituitary microadenomas. Made me wait over a month before finding out that they are not even an issue. They are not producing any hormones and are so tiny they are not causing any other problems either. So they will check them in a year to make sure there are no changes but nothing to worry about! Hallelujah!

   That is about all the news for the Keenums. Wish I could give you more, but we lead simple lives. :) I can say that I am beyond blessed. I just look around my home and see countless blessings that I never deserved. I am so grateful for all that I have and for my children to grow up in a wonderful home with plenty of food and toys and a father who truly loves them and cares for them and plays with them. Oh, I am teary eyed just thinking about it. God has truly blessed me.
  
Hope everyone else is doing well! God bless you all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
