in my heart i always knew i would raise a red head. i think it was God preparing me my whole life. he gave me a curly red headed little brother first. . and years later he gave a red headed baby boy.. . . keagan. when i was pregnant with the boys i told people that one would have red hair and nobody believed me since aaron and i both have dark hair. the first thing our doctor said when the boys were born was "you got a red head!" and the adventure began. if there is one word that describes keagan it is PASSION! it is the best thing about him and the hardest. he puts us on our knees praying to God for guidance weekly. we can't believe all his talents he is a natural athlete, plays the piano by ear, and his artwork amazes us. this little boy is going to do amazing things in the world but my very favorite thing about keagan is how deeply and passionately he loves his family!
keagan will be seven and a half may first. i wanted a snapshot of who he is right now so we made this poem together. i would start the sentence and he would finish it with his creative personaltiy. i used to do this with my first graders at the end of the year. so i could not pass up my own first graders in my house. none of these answers were prompted he is such a silly guy!

I am partial to sweet little redheads too. ;) hahaha. Loved this post! Sure love your kiddos and thought it really special you'd do a highlight on Keagan like this... gawl, he really is such a wonderful little guy!!! Am smiling from his creative finishes to your poem - what a fantastic idea! And, I have to ask: what do you put in your kale smoothies that they'd be in his top 3 to name as faves to eat? ;)
Along with the tears in reading this (and they are joyful ones) I laughed - I LOVE his passion and pray he has it forever.
I love you Keags!!! GO DUKE - It could happen :)

Hi Darcy! I found your blog last fall, then facebooked you 'cause I couldn't figure out how to comment. I've been enjoying your blog ever since...now I have a blog too. This is the sweetest post about your little red head! We are Duke fans too....but we live much closer to Duke than you guys. And my little ones like to pick up snakes too...Yikes!
Happy weekend!
