Juliana's 4th Birthday



Cutest Little Witch In Town!



Trick-Or-Treating

Rebuilding Our Lives

On August 28, 2005 Juliana & I packed up the car, picked up Aunt Ginger, and headed to Aunt Carries' house in Atlanta, GA to escape Hurricane Katrina. After a few stressful days there we met Mimi & Pops in Pigeon Forge, TN to have an "evacuation vacation" for 2 weeks. We returned home to find that our house had been engulfed with 6ft of muddy Lake Pontchartain water. We moved in with MiMi, Pops, & Aunt Ginger until we were fortunate enough to find an apartment 3 months later. Life began to return semi-normal. Juliana started a 2yr old program at 1st Presbyterian Church, Kendall started working for Lowes, and I began cosmetology school at Aveda Institute. We had many fun times during this hectic part of our lives.

From Past to Present...

I'm beginning a blog for family members and friends to be up to date with the latest happenings at the K. Lentz house. I titled my very 1st post From Past to Present because I'm going to include some things from our past that I still remember. Due to Hurricane Katrina we lost most baby pictures & important recordings about Juliana. I'm going to use this blog not only to keep everyone updated but also as a way to journal important family memories. With that said....

panties. Juliana asked why she didn't have any princess panties & I told her she would have to use the potty like a big girl. The very next morning she woke up, took her diaper off, & sat on the toilet. As she sat there she called my name & told me to go buy her some princess panties! (Really, true story!)

1st Birthday!!!


1st time trick-or-treating, 2yrs old. She enjoyed crawling around on the floor meowing ferociously. Her hand would come at you like a cat claw and she would scratch with intensity! (lol)
