Jaydenn's 2nd Birthday Party

On Monday, January 15th, Jaydenn celebrated his 2nd birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. He had lots of cousins and family to celebrate with. Jeff and Kenyatta's other sides of their families were there too. Our family members that attended included Auntie (Loretta), Diane, Brenda, Calvin, LaRon, Tim (playa, playa), Lil LaRon, Jocelyn and Vaughn. It seemed as if the adults were having more fun than the kids on some of the interactive games! Kenyatta and Jeff are proud parents. Jaydenn is getting so tall and of course is a cutie-pie. Jeff had to re-light the candles during the birthday song when Jaydenn kept blowing them out-he was ready!. He did really good when he finally blew out the candles.

Blogging vs. Email

A "blog" is short for Web Log. We, as a family, can add comments or posts about what's going on in our daily lives. By no means should this replace a good old-fashioned face-to-face visit or phone call. However, this will allow all of us an extra means of communication to keep in touch with the rest of the family.

If you have an upcoming event, invite us. Photos? Share them. Something you want to get off your chest? Post it. Email is nice, however here we can sit back and write, share, cry, and laugh all at the same time on this blog.

Let me remind you that what you post here will be viewed by many people. Do not post comments that would be considered offensive towards someone you don't want to be offended. If you talk about your job, don't post the name of certain co-workers to avoid controversy. Don't get me wrong, if you are anti-war, go ahead and post your views or comments. Just be mindful not to post items that are too personal such as last names or addresses. You get the picture...HAPPY BLOGGING!
