Photo a Day

Here we go...February Photo a Day!!

February 7th
This was a super important day! Kennedy lost her very first tooth! We had a dentist appointment just days earlier. The hygenist told Kennedy she had two loose teeth - Kennedy hadn't even noticed! While brushing her teeth tonight, she bumped it out!!! There is a video of her telling about it in the previous post. Those baby teeth are soooo tiny!




February 6th
Super Bowl Sunday!
We were still recovering from the sickies but headed to the Elliott's for Bible Study and then the big game! Go Packers!



February 5th
We celebrated Cousin Logan's 7th birthday today! We can't believe Logan is SEVEN!!!



February 4th
Just a screen shot of mint.com. This is a pretty cool site for tracking your spending and such. I love that it allows me to break down my spending very specifically. For instance, I can have a section for cleaning supplies and specify for what room they are for - kitchen, laundry, bathroom, etc. Very cool!




February 3rd
Just a fun shot of our little sunshine! Her little personality is really starting to shine - she is such a blessing to us!


February 2nd
Quinn's exersaucer is one of her favorite toys right now. When she sees it she starts kicking her legs and her eyes sparkle! It is adorable!



February 1st
Snow, snow, snow.....a good foot of it! School was called off for 3 days. But Kennedy was already staying home sick. :(


January 31st
Kennedy is still sick, as is Miss Quinn. We made a bed on the couch for her. She has enjoyed drawing on the dry erase board! We have thrown in some penmanship practice as well!


January 30th
See that little "obey" sign? This is part of some "homeschooling" we have been doing. Kennedy and I are both fully enjoying it! I found the most amazing blog Confessions of a Homeschooler and we are implementing her Bible Character Studies. This week we learned about Obedience. One of our activities was to write the word obey on notecards and place them in specific places in our home where we might need to be reminded to obey. The places we chose were: Kennedy's bedroom, the television, the computer and the pantry. :)

Blizzard!

As promised, here are the photos of our yard in the daytime!

It was pretty darn windy- the snow seemed to be coming down sideways! So there are some fun drifts out there!!! This photo is off the deck. You can see the chair in engulfed!
Here is a shot of Kennedy's playset! You can't see the bottom and one of the slides is almost covered!
Here is a shot of the driveway...
And sweet Jeff shoveling and shoveling and shoveling and shoveling!!!! Those piles look oh so fun! But Kennedy is still on the mend and it is bitterly cold so we won't be playing in this snow anytime soon. :(

Photo a Day thru 1.14.11

1.14.11
We recently purged Kennedy's playroom. We found a spinning, light-up globe toy. Kennedy had forgotten she even had it! Now it has become one of Quinn's favorites! She loves to hold it and feel the vibration and tries to "eat" it!
1.13.11
It appears this must have been a rough day with Quinn! This is the only photo I took!

1.12.11
On this day we had a playdate with Micah and his mommy, Janet!!


1.11.11
Quinn is working on sitting steadily in the exersaucer. She likes it but is so dang skinny she often falls backward and struggles to pull herself forward again! I think in the next few weeks she will be strong enough to really love it!
1.10.11
Snow Day!!!! No school! We got a lot of snow! Maybe 5-6 inches....I can't remember now. Kennedy, the dogs and I had lots of fun playing in the snow together! Since she was tiny, one of Kennedy's favorite things about snow is eating it!



1.9.11
This was Chiefs playoff game day. (We lost. It was bad.) We went to the Neat's for a fun gathering! The kiddos were really enjoying Sophia's room!



1.8.11
Kennedy had just gotten her "report card" from first semester when Mema came to visit! They were reading through it together. Kennedy is excelling in all areas, just as we had hoped! She is one smart cookie!


1.7.11
Just a normal day around our home. Nothing too special. Just Kennedy fully enjoying being a big sis. Quinn just lights up when she sees Kennedy! And if she can hear her, she quickly turns her head to look for Kennedy. Sometimes Kennedy gets a bit too close, touches a bit too much, or is a bit too loud...but mostly they are best buds!
