Welcome Kendall Susan!




This is Chris. I’m typing this while my wife is laying in bed and baby Kendall is off with a nurse for her first bath.

The surgery went well and we’re excited to announce the arrival of Kendall Susan Petinak, born at 9:31am on May 7, 2009. She’s 8lbs., 9oz., and 19” long.

In case you’re wondering, we really liked the name Kendall as it rings well with Chris, Kelly, and Cameron. The middle name comes from Kelly’s sister, Susan.

Here are some pics.

Will write more when we get home after a couple nights here.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am sooo excited for my little niece-poo!!!

I think it is a tragedy that I won't get to hold her until she's old enough to be jumping off my lap!! =(

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name, Kendall!!! It is so perfect.

And I'm so honored by her middle name. I will try to live up to it and be a wonderful auntie! =)

And it hadn't really occurred to me to comment on how great you look until I saw that the other gals did - because it just seems like an "of course" that you would look great since you always do.

But yes, that is a feat after major surgery!

Yippeee!!! Thank you Lord we are on this end of it and everyone is healthy! What a God-gift these precious little babies are.

And yeah for Big Brother Cameron!! How BEYOND BLESSED little Miss Kendall is to have such a sweet big bro to help steer her through life. =)
