In the past two weeks, and we've done both nothing and everything. Kennedy has experienced her 2nd wedding, the IMAX, Chuck E Cheese, Predators exhibit museum, children's museum, a parade, and lots of family time. I have been trying to keep her busy, go the gym, and get some shopping in.  I also celebrated my 28th birthday...that sounds so much older than 27. The weather has been fluctuating between reasonable warm 50's and freezing cold 20's.  This coldness has been determining our plan of action for each day. Some days we barely make it to the gym because I just can't handle 19 degrees or whatever the temp may be for the day.   Here are a few pics of our fun.

The Quad-Cities are home to the John Deere factory.  The other day we visited the local John Deere tractor museum. While I get extremely frustrated by the tractors in Italy, Kennedy loves them. Every time we pass one on the road she comments on the color & size.  Climbing on the tractors and visiting the John Deere store was lots of fun for Ms. K.  Here are a few pics from our visit. 

These Presidential polls aren't looking good for McCain.  Why do I feel so let down?  Its really been bothering me lately that our country seems to be heading for disaster.  I've never been one to pray for my country; I know I should have been.  In the past month I've been compelled to pray for this place I call home,  that I love, that my husband is suffering for, and that I'm going to raise Kennedy in.  Sometimes I want to go back to the sleepy 1950's housewife era. 

her name was Kennedy Renee.  She had 2 days full of Halloween fun; one at a kids festival and the other trick or treating. Tons of fun was had walking around my uncles neighborhood with all the other kids.  There is something about 60 degree temps, orange & red trees, and children's laughter that just warms your heart.  After an hour & a half of trick or treating Kennedy was tired of walking.  Once we arrived back at the house, Kennedy enjoyed handing out treats to the other children that came by.
