She's HERE!!!

The long awaited arrival of Miss Kennedy is finally here. She joined our family on June 18 @ 5:49 p.m., weighing in at 7 lbs, 14 oz and measuring 19 inches long. Apart from my water breaking at the Mall of Georgia, in the middle of Toy Story 3 my labor went relatively smoothly and she arrived in perfect form! Daddy and Granny were great coaches (ok, Daddy had his head in a closet for most of it) and Dr. Weiss was fabulous! Jaydan can't get enough of her and has handled the transition pretty well so far. Welcome to the family, Baby Kennedy..... we love you!

How did this happen?

In the blink of an eye...... we went from this:


To this:Where does the time go????

You asked for it.....

You guys asked for it..... here is a belly shot! Notice how sweetly Jaydan is giving her kisses. Hope that lasts ;)

And here is Miss Thang as of yesterday. I think she's going to look a lot like her big brother.... and it looked like she was trying to suck her fingers already! Ok, Miss Kennedy......come out now! Time to meet the world!

Jaydan's Third Birthday!

We planned Jaydan's big #3 for a couple of weeks early this year.... just in case. Given that he decided to join us almost 6 weeks early I figured it couldn't hurt! It was a small party, just us, Nana and Pop and Jaydan's best friend (yes, the same one he loves to hate) from daycare and his family. We went to Chuck E. Cheese.... I questioned my own sanity over that decision for a while, but its easy, I didn't have to cook or clean and for a small party it wasn't that expensive. Jaydan wasn't too sure about Chuck E., himself but he didn't cry.... just kept one eye on him at all times. The kiddos had a blast and I think even the grown ups had fun. Its so hard to believe that three years has gone by already!




Here are some things we want to remember about Jaydan at three!

1) You are funny and feisty and not just a little hard headed!
2) Your favorite parent is whichever one is not handy at the moment.
3) Still sucking those fingers....
4) Not quite potty trained yet, but getting closer all of the time (you can do it, you just can't be bothered most of the time).
5) Your favorite TV show right now is Curious George, your favorite movie changes from day to day.
6) Your favorite food is chicken nuggets from "Donna's" (McDonalds), but if given a choice you will say either a) chicken nuggets and apples b) chicken french fries or c) shrimp and broccoli.
7) You are generous with hugs and "I love you"s right now.....I hope that never changes!
