Home Again!
Kennedy and I just returned from our surprise two week trip to Utah. What a blast! Nobody saw us coming and it was great to see the look on their faces as we surprise them. I have many stories from our adventures and even more pictures, but that may have to wait. I can't find my camera cord to upload the pics and must clean the office area first in order to find it. I couldn't leave the Pre-Easter post up forever so I decided to shoot off a quick hello. More to come. Clawson out!

Easter Prep
With Easter only a week away, we have been working around the clock to prepare Kennedy for her 1st Easter Egg Hunt. With a slight disadvantage in the mobility department, we knew that training would be the key to a successful Easter egg hunt.
Step 1 in her preparation for the big hunt was to get acquainted with the eggs. We have let her play with the eggs, sleep with the eggs, and even bath with the eggs. Then we practice putting the eggs in the basket. (We are still working on this as Kennedy is much more excited to remove said eggs from the basket and throw them) Also, she has decided that the the basket is much more desirable as a hat then a storage device.
Step 2 of Egg Hunt Training, is to see the egg- get the egg. This included several crawling courses in which she had to crawl past tempting bottles, mommy's jewelry, and several cell phones to reach the desired eggs. It was a challenge both physically and mentally, but she has worked hard to stay focused. Eye on the prize Kennedy, eye on the prize!
Step 3 was to find your inner bunny. We figure if she can act like a bunny, she can think like a bunny and figure out where this bunny will hide all the eggs. Brilliant I know! Here she is doing some of her hopping exercises.
Step 4 is learning how to open the eggs and share the candy with mom and dad. This is also proving to be a challenge as the few times she can actually get the eggs open, she is under the false impression that the contents are for her. Silly girl!
Well, we got to get back to training. Only a few days left and we still have a lot of work to do! Happy Hopping!

Growl-Fest 2009
Ever since she was born, Tim (and yes occasionally me) enjoy crawling up to Kennedy like an animal and growling. This usually elicits a laugh or a smile or some sort of crazy arm action as she tries to escape the tickle claws sure to follow. Recently however, Kennedy is not content to be growled at and has started growling right back at us. It is pretty funny to walk in on Kennedy and Tim sitting on the floor growling at each other. The video clips never do it justice, but here is one such growl-fest.
