Two things Kaelen does well

Eating and making a mess. And, of course, his absolute top marks include making a mess WHILE eating!!

Somebody told him strawberry yogurt was girl repellant...

Whoever said m&ms melt in your mouth, not in your hands was clearly childless (and unmarried...)

"Please, no more paparazzi..."

Two heads are better than one

Jake was fascinated with the wagon and with Kaelen...

Kaelen didn't really share the fascination...

However, he soon figured out that Jake had some good ideas...

"I didn't do it... It was Jake!!"

Kaelen's sole living great grandparent

Kaelen wasn't sure what to think...

(My cousin Jared and his son Jake)

Remote

(Look at those HUGE paws...)

Yes, he loves all things electronic. He also loves to have big hair!! It's kind of too bad he won't be a teenager in the 70s, because I think he'd be the best thing ever... (maybe the fro will still be around then)

Kenya family

Kennedy went home for a quick visit last month. Since I couldn't go, he tried to take pictures of everyone and everything... So, here is some of his family (mostly cousins from his mom's side). I'll post pictures of the landscape later (assuming I finish sorting through it all... don't hold your breath)

Kennedy's brother, Dan, and his wife and child (Njeri and Kasaya - Kasaya was born while we were there in 2007)

Apparently she's afraid of the camera (so am I)

Kennedy's mum and dad (Florence and Solomon), and Lynette's daughter (Tumaini)

Njeri and Kasaya

More Tumi (yum... samosas)

(my favorite - Orange Fanta)

Lynette and Tumi

Kennedy's cousin Carole, and her daughers Kimberly (sitting next to her, age 7) and Karen (standing behind her, age 2 or so)

Kennedy's cousin Hillary (the profile shot) and Lynette's significant other, Patrick (the guy in the red shirt - he cooked the samosas (from scratch of course) ... lucky girl)

Kennedy's cousin-in-law Sylvia and her 4 month old son (I think her husband George is sitting next to her, but I can't tell)

Kimberly and Dylan (Sylvia's son... it's possible he has the sweetest face ever) (side note: Kimberly used to live in Seattle with her parents, and Nandi was a bit afraid of her... Liam, on the other hand, got along with her just fine!)

Kennedy's cousin Diana (she has a twin who lives in Delaware)

Lynette, Patrick and Tumi

Kennedy's play time with Tumi

I LOVE Tumi's hair!! I also love the cheeks... It's a good thing for Kaelen that I married Kennedy - his family has some pretty good genes!!

silly buttons...

(I'm sure only my mom will get that). Before I had Kaelen I took pictures of my other kids (my pakas). Apparently I was really bored one day, because I just found 10 videos of their funny antics. I think this one summarizes everything...

Funny what you find when you clean up the camera...

Christmas 2006
Kennedy's brother, Harrison and his wife Valerie, and their son Nandi


Kennedy's sister, Lynette

He makes a great Superman...

Kennedy's graduation - Spring 2006.

Kennedy's mum and nephews ... they look like babies!!

One year later... (our robes weren't as cool, but my school was better!!!)

Kennedy's first marathon... Vancouver BC (possibly his last marathon too)
