All Things Kelly

I can’t think of anything funnier for Friday than the World’s Cutest Baby.  Enjoy!

I held my breath last night waiting to hear our President say the words “Repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”  I have the hardest time understanding why we would deny countless qualified and interested Americans the opportunity to serve our nation.  Nor do I understand a policy where we ask service members to put their lives on the line, just as long as they don’t share the personal truth with those they are living and working with for months at a time.

Now that I am someone’s mama my work travel schedule has changed and I have lost all my airline status.  Leon and I will be in the back of the bus with everyone else on our flight to Miami.  It was something I had prepared for prior to Eloise being born.  I know that sounds weird but there is something about knowing all the airports, knowing what flights go where and when.  I used to take a lot of pride in being the consummate flight concierge, having status on 3 airlines and 2 hotel chains. (funny I hate restaurant chains but sure have a lot of Marriott rewards)

Boy was I a sucker.

A few weeks ago I read about a series of photographs by James Reynolds depicting last meal requests of death row inmates. 

I couldn’t wait until Monday to show you these photos of Leon. 

In light of the heart heavy week with all that is going on in Haiti I thought we all needed a little levity and nostalgia for our Friday Funny.  Enjoy Growing up Heros.

I know, I get your emails, my little rants are enjoyable but you want pictures of Elle. I can’t blame you.  I live with her and I can’t get enough of her smiling face.  With no further adieu Miss Eloise Kelly.

I am ecstatic to see all the Haitian children in the adoption process being expedited to reach their new homes sooner than expected. I can only imagine the trauma of surviving the earthquake and devastation then moving thousands miles away to a new place, with a new family and so many differences.

I enjoy doing some iPhone app surfing from time to time and recently came across the Scare Bear Trail Companion. 

The key to a great marriage is the marriage contract. No, not a pre-nup (although that’s a good idea too) nor the sickness and health crap ( i hope your marriage isn’t going to fall apart over swine flu), but the real contract. What are the terms of this marriage.
