New Year

On Friday, we had a bit of an exciting episode.  We normally head to Starbucks for a treat before work on Friday mornings.  After we get our coffee, Rachel normally heads on in to the office while Jason and Kennedy stay behind to eat their yogurt.  It is kind of a father-daughter "date."  This Friday, was a little different.  Jason was loading Kennedy in the car and noticed what looked like red paint on Kennedy's boot.  He didn't think much of at at the time and buckled her in.  Once we arrived at Starbucks, Jason went to unload Kennedy and noticed that she had blood on her hands, her boots, and her jeans.  It turns out that she had cut her finger and it was bleeding.  It was strange that she didn't cry.  Rachel took her in to get her cleaned up.  The store was also nice enough to give us a band-aid.  Once we went to put it on she fought it pretty hard and that's when we realized just how deep it was.  We ended up heading home to get her taken care of before taking her on in to school.

Although she has started to wear bows in her hair now and then, she is starting to wear them for long periods of time without pulling them out.  She often even requests to put a bow in her hair.  We hope to start sharing more and more pictures of her with bows!

Thanks to all of the new toys from Christmas, she has started to play more independently.  She doesn't do it for more than about 15 minutes, but it's just long enough to give her Mom and Dad a little time knock out some chores.

In other news, we started to settle back in at the office with the new year behind us.  Since school wasn't back in yet, the office wasn't at full speed.  That was helpful, and gave us some time to play catch up.
