Free Comic Book Day coming soon!!

Ok Geeks and Nerds... it just so happened that this years FCBD falls on my first born son's 1st birthday!!! Saturday, May 7th.
Mom and the 3 girls are planning on going to a Mother - Daughter banquet at South Side Baptist Tabernacle. Grayson and I plan on hitting all the major comic book/gaming stores in the area before throwing down an incredibly GEEKY 1st Birthday party at the new house, which he will also be sharing with his big sister who has a very close birthdate of May 9th.

Guess I should start cleaning and finishing unpacking my saweeeet action figures, space ships and posters!!!

Oh and in case you are a big Geek like us, check out the FCBD ad with pics from last year... You may just notice a certain familiar girls face complete with S-girl t-shirt and cape!

Stay tuned for pics, since we are also going on vacation for a week after the party and the following weekend after that is the Motor City Comic Con.

Geeks Rule!!

Blogging again?

Well here we all are 2 years later.
A whooooole lot has changed since then, we turned to Facebook for much of our updates and info, but I felt compelled to return once more to the world of blogging; especially with technology catching up finally to all my ideas!!

Lets do a quick recap, shall we?
Since April 9, 2009, we have moved 3 times. This last time becoming home owners for the first time since we married and started our family over 3 years ago. We are all very excited about our new home (we moved in the beginning of March, 2011) and are enjoying the perks and work of being home owners.

Our baby girl last blogged about is a terribly cute 2 year old that now terrorizes her almost 1 year old brother. She is a walking, talking, singing little firecracker who gives us no rest and consistenly tests the her bounds and our patience!  Who knows what will happen in the next 6.5 months, we may just add yet another child to our insanity!

Our 2 oldest have gone from being little girls to becoming lovely and helpful young ladies. They both are a tremendous blessing to me and their mom. Kennadi rises early with the above mentioned Rowan (they all sleep in the same room and she likes to yell and cry until they get her out of her crib) and feeds her and gets her started watching Barney or the Backyardigans for the day. And although the Kayden still requires some assistance waking in the morning, once out of bed she is always willing to hold Grayson until her arms give out.

Who is Grayson you ask? Oh he would be that almost 1 year old boy. Grayson Parker Kimmel was added to our family May 7, 2010. He is named after Richard Grayson and Peter Parker. Those true geeks out there will appreciate that! :)  He was our little buddy (don't ask me his measurements, I only know he was small) and still is. Currently learning to walk (look out Haven!) and as cute and pretty as his blond-haired, blue-eyed mommy! We are still working on his manliness though, as his current sounds consist of very high pitched girly squeals to outright feminine screams!

Well that's about it for the actual family member recap...
What's that you say?
Oh, how are Mom and Dad?

Well we are older, wiser, more distinguished and very much so loving our crazy lives with our busyness at work (mom still works 4 days a week along with dad, but opposite shifts), church (we now attend Carleton Community Baptist Church and enjoy serving and worshipping with fellow-minded believers) and family and wouldn't trade it for anything!

More to come, maybe in another couple of years :)

Not so geeky update

Well I know its been a while... ok since Christmas, but my lovely, encouraging and uplifting wife hinted the other day that I should work on our blog and update it since our baby was born 2 months ago (yikes!) and there aren't any pictures or updates on anything other than Facebook.

So here you go:

Rowan Jade Kimmel was born on 2/7/2009 at about 6:30 pm via c-section. My wife did an AWESOME job laboring and trying to have this baby "normally" for around 36 hours!!!
We were discouraged by the c-section, but the Lord knows and was/is in control and everything turned out great.

It was pretty neat in the OR when they lifted out our baby and waited for me to tell what the Lord had givn us. The moment when I was able to say "Its a GIRL!" was unbelievable and unforgettable. Ill be posting some pics (i haven't yet figured out how SOME blogging guru's post the little link to their WHOLE albums) soon.

I know it is late but thank you all who prayed (the three people left that still read my _every_4_month_post_blog_)

Now our little girl is 2 months old and growing and getting fatter every day.
She loves her daddy and tells him how much she does, every day.






These are cell phone pics so the resolution isn't the greatest.
But idn't she cute?
