Birthday Parties

We had a funny thing happen this week.  We were out and about this weekend.  When we were in the car, Jason leaned over to give Rachel a kiss.  Just as our lips met, we heard a giggle ring out from the back seat.  For some reason, Kennedy got a real kick out of us kissing.  We did it several time again throughout the weekend and each time, we got the same result.  Funny kiddo.

As you may be aware, Kennedy loves her waffles.  And now she likes to help us pop them in the toaster.  We normally have to help her turn the waffle so that it will slide into the slot.  Her dainty little finger is just strong enough to push the toaster button far enough to turn it on.

Kennedy is getting better at saying her family member names.  We've been working with her, pointing everyone out as we look at our family pictures.  As you might expect, her enunciation needs plenty of work, but you can sure tell that she is making an effort to say the names.

Rachel finished her bookcase.  Dennis had built a bookcase, but left it unfinished.  Rachel decided to finish it in an antiqued style.  She got it completed and put into place.  So far, it is helping us to control the toy and book explosion in our living area.

We also had two birthday parties this weekend.  On Saturday, we celebrated Joshua's first birthday. Josh goes to the same school as Kennedy and we know them through mutual friends. Kennedy's friend Addi was at the party and they sure enjoyed playing together. On Sunday, we celebrated Sebastian's 3rd birthday. Sebas is our neighbor and had his party at a place in Coppell called Kiddin Around. It was a really neat place and Kennedy had a blast. It is a "drop in" daycare that has so much to keep the kids running for hours! It is even open late on weekdays and weekends so that parents can have a little free time! Hopefully we will get a chance to check that out soon!!
