Kennedy Family: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAIMEE!!!!

Lets all wish the beautiful Jaimee a very happy birthday! Her birthday is TODAY!!!

Jaimee is now a whopping 27! But she doesn't look a day older than 20. She gets more beautiful every day and the boys and I are so lucky to have her as our wife/mommy. We love you, Babe! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Update on Us:

Jeff: He has been in fairly good health lately! That's a big deal for him during this time of year. He is extremely thankful that the inversion has left though - he has been finding it rather difficult to breathe for about a month so some good air is very appreciated! He still really loves his job - one of the higher ups actually hinted that he might want Jeff to be a manger over a different department but Jeff likes what he's doing so much that he didn't want to move. And my personal favorite thing - he decided a few weeks ago that he was going to do the dishes from now on. This is huge news. I am loving it!

Jaimee: I always have a hard time coming up with something to say about me.... it's just same old, same old. Anything I do think of to say really belongs more under one of the kids. Ooh, I am trying to do more crafty things lately. I miss having projects to work on. One biggy is trying to make these really complicated blankets for all of the kids. I had intended them to be Christmas presents but then I realized that it will probably take me a year to make them all, so I'm shooting for next year. I'm not exactly great at sewing so I am crossing my fingers that they will turn out.

Duncan: I am trying to find a good soccer team for him to join for the spring season. His coach from fall quit halfway through and the dad who took over for him isn't really into it. He really has had the worst luck with teams. It has been so nice having a kid who is old enough to really help out with the youngest one. There are a lot of times where I put him in charge of Charlie while I get something done and he is awesome at it. He took the test to try and get into the ALL program at school next year so we are waiting to hear on that. I think he will enjoy it if he gets in - but if not no big deal.

Dayton: He was SO excited to get to go to Scouts finally. He has such a hard time waiting for things that Duncan gets to do first. He absolutely loves Scouts and was super excited to get his Bobcat badge last week. He also really likes the choir he started - he moved up from the youngest group to the middle group in Jan. and I was a little worried that he wouldn't like it as well since the younger group does a lot of playing in their class but he still loves going. He is doing really well in school, especially in math. My mom got him Skylanders for Christmas and it's his favorite present ever I think. He spends almost all day on Sat. over at her house playing it.

Tucker: Apparently being good at math runs in the family because Tucker's teacher told me at the last parents teacher conference that he is super smart with numbers and did the best of all the kids at the 'what do you know' meeting before school started. He of course absolutely loves kindergarten. He got sick a couple of times at the beginning of the month and he was so so sad to have to miss school. I think he's a little sleep deprived since he goes to bed at the same time as the other boys but when they all share a room it's a little hard to do otherwise. At least he doesn't have to get up early in the morning.

Ellie: She is loving dance school so much! They had a little in-class recital in Dec. and I just had to laugh watching her. She did what she was supposed to every so often but the rest of the time she just was in her own little world and did whatever. At one point she just laid down on the floor and pretended to sleep. I asked her teacher if she was like that in class and she said pretty much. At least she doesn't disturb the other girls though. Hopefully she will catch on soon that she should follow along the whole time. She is turning into a major daddy's girl. I used to sing her a song at bedtime every night but for the past month or so she asks for Jeff every night. And on the weekend she is thrilled that he gets to 'stay home with her' instead of going to work. I am trying not to get my feelings hurt.

Charlie: I cannot believe that my sweet little boy is almost one!! It kind of makes me sad. Since he is our last one all of the milestones he hits are bittersweet for me. But I try to not dwell on that and just be happy about him. He is so dang cute! His hair is getting so long in the front and is short in back, just like Ellie's was - sort of a reverse mullet. He crawls super fast all over the place now and stand up for small bits of time. I think he tried to take one tiny step the other day, but nothing approaching walking yet. We thought for the longest time that he refused to eat any kind of baby food, but apparently it was just me trying to feed him that he objected to. Now that Jeff does it he eats like a champ. We decided to finally get serious about teaching him to sleep at night but it isn't going that well. With him still sleeping in our room it's a little more difficult than normal. I am hoping that someday soon I won't fall asleep at 9:30 every night watching TV.
