November / December 2008 Updates!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

WOW! Almost two months have gone by already since I have updated the blog! Well, that should tell ya that we are keeping pretty busy and we are still very happy! :)


Enjoy the pictures and videos! There are a whole lot of them!!! Don't miss the Hooked on Phonics or the First bite of cereal videos at the end of the Blog! This may take a while to read and watch, but heck, maybe you can come back a couple of times to get it all in~

Thanks Uncle Tim for your continued interest in the Blog... it is nice to know someone is still reading this! LOL - I kid I kid!


What JJ wants for Xmas




We love to visit! We love Uncle Kevin too!



November- 3 Months old
Denver was a blast and JJ was a trouper on his inaugural flight!



Flying to Rocky Mountain High, Colorado! So tiring!!!

He loved his time with his "Manny" and cousins from Colorado!




What a good "Manny" Ryan is!



The Colorado Kennedy's took us up in the Mountains for the Thanksgiving Holiday! We stayed in a beautiful condo in Breckenridge! Made a terrific Thanksgiving dinner and took excellent Xmas photo's at the Hilton Hotel near by. Larry has some great pictures on his camera... I will post them when I can.



Quiet moments, with Auntie Julie....





Back to Minneapolis!




JJ is a great baby and he is healthy and happy! At his last appointment, in October, he weighted 14 pounds and measured 24". He is a big boy, but proportionate.
JJ also loves spending time with his Grandma Kennedy and Grandpa Wadnizak & Great-Grandma Wadnizak!



What Grandparents really look like to a baby!




Grandma Kennedy takes care of JJ Mon-Wed, then goes to our friend Natalie's house on Thurs and then Mommy is able to take care of him on Friday's until January!
Grandpa Wadnizak & Great-Grams Wadnizak come over almost every Sunday to visit & play!
There were a few bithday celebrations in November too! Happy Birthday, Val, Julie, Laura, Chris, & Fritz.




At the Birthday celebrations... they can be tiring too!







I love snuggling with Angela!!





Back at play!!! [Video]







Walkin' the doggies with Grandma!

Weighing in at 18 lbs, 26" tall, JJ is growing like a weed! He will be walking in no time!

Happy Birthday Daddy! (December 3rd!) Mommy took us to Red Lobster! YUMMY!


We attended a Santa Pancake breakfast at the Cottage Grove Lion's gathering. Tim and Mary were excellent hosts!! It was a great time and JJ was not scared at all! I guess he is used to being put on stranger's laps! LOL.








JJ's first Christmas was very fun! Or coarce he loved the wrapping paper and all the gifts! It was terrifc to see all the cousins and babies, babies, babies!! Daddy has more pictures... will post soon!

First Day, dry run, at Day Care....
JJ had his first dry run at Day Care on Dec. 19th. Mommy and Daddy went to see a movie, Seven Pounds... Mommy cried and wanted to go get JJ. (Daddy cried a little too...but at the movie...) He was a real trouper at school and the teachers reported that he is a very happy baby. DUUUHHH!! :)
