December

What a whirlwind it has been the last month. With Terry gone the time seems to just fly by and there just are not enough hours in the day. Sorry the posting has been so scarce, but by the time Kendall gets to bed, I'm ready for bed too. Well Terry was able to be home for three weeks. The boys were with us for a week. Kendall really enjoyed having them around, she just followed them everywhere and laughed at whatever they were doing.

The everlasting ear infection is still around. We ended up having to go to the Doctor on New Years Eve to get some meds. She is doing better but I'm so over it already.

Terry left last week and is now in California till mid February. So far Kendall had done really well with the adjustment which is a relief. Last week Kendall also started a new class. She was promoted to the one year old class. I can already see that she is loving being with the older kids. She is signing more then ever now and is quite the dancer. The teachers were telling me today that even when the music has stopped, Kendall keeps on dancing. She is quite the free spirit. She has mastered the stairs on the playground and is almost going down the slide on her own. We are working on using our utensils during meal time. It has become quite a challenge. She will hold the fork or spoon with one hand and continue to feed herself with her other hand. I think that now being around the older kids and seeing them will encourage her.

We go back to the dr for more shots next week and also a trip to the ear doctor to see if we can get Kendall's ears tubed to clear up the infections. Check back to see the stats and to see if we are going to get some relief from the ear infections anytime in the near future...fingers crossed.

My new ride

Look what Santa brought me! Clear the streets (well the driveway)


Daddy showing me how to drive....


This is my serious/thinking intensely look....don't mess with me...move over...don't drive in the passing lane (I must have picked this up from Dad)

Chillin with Daddy

It was so great to have Daddy home. I love taking naps with him.

Santa Visit

OMG!!!After waiting in line for over an HOUR we finally got to see Santa. I was fearful the entire time we were waiting that Kendall was just going to completely freak out at that site of Santa....but to my surprise she did GREAT! No tears, no crying. Not too many smiles, but overall a SUCCESS!!!

Daddy's picture




the picture we purchased

Sorry Buckeyes

Another year, another loss to the SEC....Sorry Dad. I even wore by Buckeye dress for good luck....



Hey there is always next year, third time is the charm, right?? (that's what I heard mommy saying)

Santa Hat

Kendall and I had a photo session one day, trying to get a picture of her wearing a Santa hat...didn't go so well. She is becoming a so independent and wants to do everything on her own. Here is what we ended up with.

I can do it myself....


missed....


ugh missed again...


almost....


finally success....


Notice she is sitting in her favorite spot...an empty diaper box.

Ponytail?

I picked Kendall up from school a few weeks ago and all the little girls had the cutest ponytails in their hair. Most of them had one "sprout" on top, some had two....this is what poor Kendall ended up with.



I guess I should just be happy that she had one????? Poor girl, one day her hair on top of her head will grow and the mullet will be gone....
