Here is Kennedy in her "pioneer" dress from Grandma Nelson. Of course, Cooper had to get his picture taken as well. Ken is pretty much walking now, although she prefers scooting around if she wants to get places fast.




Shane in his favorite position -- laying on the couch! This week has been a rough one for him, as he was laid off on Monday from his job of nearly 4 years with Stores Online. The news was quite sudden and kindof a punch in the stomach. We keep telling ourselves that this is a blessing and an opportunity in disguise, since he will not have to be gone traveling so much, but there were a lot of good things about that job that he is going to miss -- I guess the paycheck first and foremost. After having traveled so much and had pretty much every other week off, I do not think he is going to be able to settle for a 9-to-5 job, especially one in an office. So, the wonderful job hunting process has begun. I guess this economic slump has hit us more personally that we thought it would. You always hope that it won't be you. It's a good thing that Shane is a good saver, so we are somewhat prepared (although you can never be fully prepared for that). I guess if any of you know of anything, or know someone who knows someone else, then let us know. Good luck to the rest of you during this "recession".
