DAD! CHECK YOUR CALENDAR AND FLIP IT! It's the LAST DAY OF JULY! YEAH! Tomorrow is AUGUST! I know I don't know the order of things yet, but I know that each day down is one closer to you being back home with us, and Mama's friends kept texting her (the military girls) getting all giddy about it being August... gotta love that they get excited about things like that huh? So, I guess I can be excited along with them right?!

We didn't make it to church- again :( Mama tried to set an alarm to get up, but got up really early this morning- went on the ellyptical, then fell back asleep, and I was sound asleep with her, and we completely slept through the first service, and we don't really like going to 2nd service JUST IN CASE you get online- we don't like missing you.

Mama, Grandpa, Grandma, and I went up to Great Grandma Lohman's house. Everyone wanted to see me, and once/twice a month the cousins/uncles/aunts try to get together at her house, so we went up for a few hours. Great Grandma held me for the longest, but shared (even though it was hard for her to let me go)- the last time Mama, Aunt Em, Nana, and I went up (when I was almost a month old) Great Grandma said she "wasn't done with Kenzie" when Mama said they should probably get going, so she told Grandpa HE had to tell her that we had to go... haha :) We had a nice time- Aunt Paula, her girls, Aunt Ronna, Rachel, Aunt Karen, Uncle Marshal, and their kids were there- people are busy, so not everyone was there, but it was nice- they all LOVE me and asked how you're doing... they all miss you a lot too.

We got home and I was REALLY tired, but my new "game" is to try to stay awake, BUT Mama knows the "game" and I just love when she lays me on her chest- I can't help but calm down and fall asleep, so that's what she did (I was SCREAMING) and as soon as I laid on her chest I immediately stopped and fell asleep... it gets me everytime... she has the "touch" people say... that, or she's just my Mama and I love that position... anyways... that was my day! It was a bit long, but seemed to go faster than the past few days just because we got your email! Thanks daddy- we know you try to get ahold of us when you can and you hate being on blackouts (not as much as we hate it, but we know it's a bummer) so we really appreciate you updating us when you can! You working out much? I'm still growing so you and Mama need to keep up- you have to hold me! :) I love you daddy- can't wait until you're home to snuggle with me (AND Mama- I guess she can join too)... but you better be ready to hold me- I won't want you to put me down that's for sure! Cya soon dad!
Love, love, love YOU!

HI DAD! Mama, I, and her friend, Lou (Palmer) went to the Farmer's Market this morning- Lou was up here for a week, and has been wanting to hang out with us, but it didn't work out until this morning. Mama's 2nd grade teacher held me for a bit which was nice- kind of hard to talk/catch up at the Market but it's ok. Then, Lou came over and held me for a bit. Mama and Uncle Nate played the kinect game for awhile... Mama and Uncle Nate returned pop bottles and got a hot-n-ready pizza for lunch (even though Mama can't eat it), but everyone thought it was really nice because they were all doing stuff, but Mama wanted everyone to take a break and be together....THEN, Mama and Nana went to see Horrible Boss' while Uncle Nate and Grandpa saw Captain America. I guess Nana has an 'immature sense of humor' because they keep making fun of her- she really liked Hangover, and thought Horrible Boss' was hilarious (which Mama said it had it's really funny parts, but some of it was pretty 'immature'- not that Mama is THAT mature haha lol)... they enjoyed themselves while I stayed home with Great Aunt Jean. I like when she watches me because she WON'T put me down (she doesn't want me to cry) so I get to be held the ENTIRE TIME of however long they're all gone for- hehe.

When they got home, I got to go over to Grandma's house for a bit. She held me almost the whole time too! I got to play with my sister Daisy... I saw Panzer, but Panzer just kind of sniffs me, looks at me, and just stares- Daisy at least gives me kisses... ;) I had a really nice day being held by everyone for the majority of the day and dreaming about YOU! I LOVE YOU DADDY! CYA SOON!
Love,
Kenz

Hi Daddy! How's everything going? We miss you like CRAZY! Mama always gets worried when she doesn't hear from you- worried, and she misses you THAT MUCH MORE.. so do I... but it's ok, because we pray so much/so often/so hard ALL THE TIME for YOU and everyone with you... Mama prays, and I listen- we seriously pray at least once an hour... it calms us both down a lot. :) Your guys' friend, Eliesha Delmastro sent Mama a text message saying she heard from her husband (Travis) that he sent her an email right before the blackout happened that said "Lohman and I are ok"... which was so nice just hearing- glad you both keep us up-to-date as best as you can and are looking out for each other. :)

Mama and I hung out all day and got things done around the house- ran some errands, and just rested a bit. Uncle Nate and Mama went for a run/bike ride (Uncle Nate decided he needed to encourage her while running) so he rode alongside Mama while she ran- she ran 5miles! Not too shabby after having me huh? She didn't stop either- I guess it was all that frustration she had lol... she hasn't ran with me in the jogging stroller because she said she has to get back up to her "old running" time/strength first... makes sense, but I'm sure soon enough she'll take me- she hates not being with me... probably because she thinks she's hanging out with you because I'm your mini-me LOL ;) We can't wait to hear from you daddy- EVERYONE is asking about you and waiting for you to come home! We LOVE YOU!
Love,
Kenzie girl
