Thought I'd send a few recent pictures. I'm LONG
overdue for updating ya'll....so I'll write more real soon!
Braelynn will be 1 on June 20 (how did a whole year
go by)?! Hard to believe she weighed just 2 pounds at
birth and was 3 months early. She crawls everywhere,
including up and down the stairs! She walks all
around as long as there is something to hold on
to...quite the little kid! Logan Vernon Tyler Aubrey
weighs 5.8 and is doing great. His 2nd name
(Vernon) is in honor of his Grandpa Eugene Vernon,
and also his Great Grandpa Vernon Jackel. The
babies are such good little kids and SO delightful!
Gene and I are buying a house (I'll send pictures
soon!) We close on Friday and are so excited! I keep
up with all of you through Becca's awesome
website...and feel like I don't miss a beat. Sorry to
have been so out of the loop. I do promise to send a
newsy update soon! lots of love, ~Grandma Kathy
and Grandpa Jackel! (The 'mom' holding the baby in
the picture is LaToya, Gene's daughter....I'll have to
send a 'family' picture soon).

Hello! I thought I'd share this video with you....I think it is from
last winter or spring (not sure), but Gene and I were
babysitting Braelynn and fed her some mac & cheese.....it
was SO funny! Hope you enjoy!! Be prepared....I imagine I'll
be doing more or this sort of thing! (sending videos....NOT
feeding mac & cheese to babies!!) ~K~
