New Years Eve at the Aquarium!

By -
Happy 2011! I'm a little behind on posting, but here are some pictures from our trip to the aquarium on New Years Eve! We have a sweet family pass now (thank you Mary, Howard, and Megan!) so we went with Aunt Michal, Uncle Jason, and Megan! Kenley LOVED it ("FISHY FISHY FISHY!").

Here's Kenley touching stuff in the touch pool with Uncle Jason.

Our little Octopus.
Meg's dolphin!

An amazing view near the otters! It was a beautiful Seattle day!
And of course, the obligatory trip to each fish and chips after viewing all the fish (or in some cases, a whole lot of tarter sauce).

After the aquarium, we celebrated the new year at our house with some friends in a pretty low key manner, then caught up with a bunch of fun folks at Mom and Dad's holiday open house!

Easter basket is stuffed, food ready, eggs hid...we are ready! Kenley loved her Easter basket! It had some extras from Mama, Bebe, Grandma, and Great-Grandma.

Most of all she loved her new books! Here's Kenley with Bebe and Nan. Thanks Mary and Megan for the candy and the cool glasses! But mostly the candy.... It's time for the hunt! The rainy weather made the Easter bunny improvise and hide eggs only on the front porch and lawn...but it worked out great! Kenley is a pro now! Chocolate coins t...

Why "Kenley"?

Many people have been asking why we selected Kenley's name, so I thought I would post a little background. When we thought about what we wanted to name the baby, we wanted something that complimented "King" and that was unique but easy to pronounce, etc. We ideally wanted something that started with a K and that was two syllables long. We first heard the name "Kenley" from a person on one of our favorite reality TV shows, Project Runway: a fashion designer named Kenley Collins. http://kenleycollins.com/ We wouldn't say we named the baby after the designer, as she was not a very nice person on the show, but we still loved the name and decided it was perfect for our baby. Kenley is an English name and has been used for both boys and girls and also as a surname. It means "Royal Meadow" pr "the King's meadow" and is the name of a town in England (in Surrey). According to the social security website, Kenley is the 998th most popular name ...
