love that smile...

santa came early

my mom and dad sent a somewhat LARGE gift for kennedy's christmas. i thought they had lost their minds... but they explained that she is inside all winter and needed more outlets for her never-ending energy. needless to say, she loves it!!! though i am not too keen on the idea that it went where my couch was!

while we were in NH visiting colleen and dean, ted drove up to see us. we have not seen each other since kennedy has been born and it was great to catch up with a great old friend.

colleen took us to the new england sea aquarium while we were there. it was awesome! thomas' favorite animal is the penguin, and man did they have a bunch of penguins. this one reminded me of happy feet...

this little boy came outta nowhere and started kissing on kennedy. it was so funny. his name was max. (then we all got sick and i am sure it was from max!!!)

looking at the jellies with daddy

so much love...

we generally stay home all of the time. so to be traveling for two weeks straight, and meeting new people every day, i must say that ms kennedy did great. while the other kids were screaming on the airplanes, she fell asleep on every takeoff and never fussed for even a minute.

we brought 12 lobsters down the FL from NH. it was a surprise for my mom and i only wish i would have had a camera in my hand when she saw them. it was priceless. all of the kids enjoyed them and i think the adults did too!

planes, cold weather and the flu...

we spent the past two weeks traveling all over the place. we went to nashua, nh for a week to visit with thomas' sister colleen. it was FREEZING!!!! to say the least... but we had a blast and it was great to finally meet tom's family.

uncle dean throwing kennedy in the air. she LOVED this! he also fed her Italian ice EVERY night we were there!

being a ham for the camera!

loving auntie before we went into the new England aquarium.

getting ready to feast on some real Italian spaghetti and meatballs!!! YUM

just being cute. towards the end of our trip, Kennedy and I got really sick. we ended up in the er once we got to Florida. she has never been sick... and we were sure we would face hours waiting and waiting for a doctor. shockingly, we were in and out of there in 40 minutes. can you believe it!? I was in total shock. we left with a script for amoxicillan and motrin for the fever. she is doing much better now... she has become a pro at blowing bubbles out of her nose! HA!
