- I went to pick up Jackson from Mother's Day Out this week and he was asleep in the corner. My child who wakes up at the drop of a hat at home, was asleep while everyone else was picking up their children and making lots of noise. It was a break through!
- Mike and I were able to have a night out at the squadron Christmas party without the kids! They survived just fine despite all my worst fears and we had a great time too! We might actually be able to go out on an occasional date now without me freaking out!
- We celebrated our Christmas yesterday because it was Mike's only day off before we travel back home before Christmas. Jackson wasn't really into opening the presents, but he sure has enjoyed playing with them. We now need a bigger house to accommodate all these new toys! Kennedy slept through everything, so I guess she was happy too! Then Mike cooked us a fabulous meal of prime rib and twice baked potatoes!
- Kennedy turned 2 months old yesterday! She is up to 11lbs. 7oz. and 23 inches. My little precious is growing so quickly!
Down:
- As mentioned above, we are busting at the seams in this house. I really am so ready to move. To be honest I have had the itch to move since Mike left for the deployment. We still have at a minimum one year here. I'm trying not to complain and enjoy our time here, but if you know me, clutter is not something I do. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to organization, but there is only so much I can organize when there is no space.
- Kennedy is having issues with constipation. I'm sure this is TMI for most of you, but this is a significant 'down' in our lives right now. The doctor gave her Lactulose and he thinks she may have to be on it until she starts on baby food. I want her to be pain free, but I just wish her body could regulate all of this on it's own. We'll see how it goes.

| Jackson's new easel from Santa! He was more interested in the Mickey Puzzle! |
 |
| Santa used our play pass to get Mike, Jackson and I bowling balls and shoes. It hasn't all come in yet, but they custom cut the holes to fit your finger and everything! The play pass was given to all deployed families and Mike already used part of it to get a set of golf clubs. It has been very generous for us! |
 |
| Had to set the ambiance with our 'fireplace'. Kennedy is awake here, but not for long! |
 |
| The tree and presents! |
