Eden's Two!!

Well we are officially into the terrible twos, although I think we have unofficially been at that stage for quite some time now. But Eden is truly a beautiful girl who just gets cuter with time. She is enjoying her role as big sister and loves to give Olive her binkie and blankie whether she wants them or not. She learns new words every day but her favorite seems to be "cookie." Usually she waits until bedtime and utters it with such desperation you would think that her life depends upon getting that cookie. I guess its a good thing she got a play kitchen from her Grandma so she can practice her cooking and baking skills now. She is certainly loved and spoiled, but she is a delight in our lives and we can't wait to see how she continues to grow and develop in the years to come.

Our trip to Kentucky

Here is Private Enkey with his two beautiful girls before his graduation from Basic Training at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Our time together was bittersweet and way too short. But it was wonderful seeing him and letting him see his newest baby girl, Olive.

He was able to bless her in Kentucky and it was great having that opportunity. Olive was blessed in a beautiful dress made by her Grandma Enkey, and both Grandfathers and her Uncle Brigham were able to take part in the blessing.

After Dietrich's graduation, he was whisked away to his next destination, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and we were left missing him again. After a late lunch, the group broke up and we headed back to our hotel room for some much needed rest. Saturday we were able to go and visit Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. We drove around the track and were able to see the stables where they keep the race horses. Eden had fun pretending to be a jockey at the museum, and it was interesting learning all about the Kentucky Derby. We had fun, but we sure miss Dietrich and wish we could have had more time together.
