The whole family was looking forward to it, but Dan Kennings never got his 15-day leave, although he still expects to be home in February. Until then, he's still living a hectic life in Iraq. He wrote this to the Daily Egyptian's editor-in-chief a few days ago:

Well, things have been crazy here. Never a dull moment. I've been pulling a massive amount to guard and I'm exhausted. Two of my soldiers are home right now, I'm a little jealous. Naw, actually they need the break more than I do, and it is well deserved. They've done so well, and I had one wish I'd send all my boys home to stay. They've been to hell and back again, and they all deserve leave.

Kodee is still in good spirits, though, and seems happier than she has been in a long time. Her father seemed particularly proud of the fox hole she dug in her back yard. The following is a description, from her, of her experiences the last few weeks.

You kno what last week was a fun week. So much stuff hapened. If you have to pee you shold do that before you read any more becuse its alot. Last week was Thanksgiving and I got to go home and see two of my dads soldiers. They got to have a 15 day leve and they wer rily happy. We got to see some other soldiers who alredy came back from Irak and we broght them turkey and some other stuff. One guy was in a wheel chair becuse his leg was blown off but he's getting a new one for chismas.

Carson's dad got back from Irak all in one pese. He gets to stay home for good. He never ever has to go back but they are pcsing. I hate wen that hapens. I got to see his dad and I huged him. We played batleship and Carson and me won. I think his dad forgot to think like a soldier for a minit. It's okay becuse he's had it rough.

I got a new bike becuse my other one got run over. It's the one from the hard ware store and it's a G I Joe one. It is so tight it has a cantene and it's camoflag. It is so cool. Yesterday I recked but it is okay. My shoe lase got tanguled up and I diched but I didnt do any damag.

Jake took a dabell dog dare and ate a worm. It was gross but kind of cool to. He got three dolers and a montin dew. Its more than what he got for eating Lindsays goldfish. He said he wold do it agin but we were out of mony.

This week was fun to a hole bunch of stuf hapened to. Jake got some police hand cuffs and hand cufed Lindsay to the garbag can. Then he broke the key in the lock and she was stuck. Her mom called he home and she had to take the garbage can with her but she came back with it later.

Me and Jake made a tree house but the wood steps we made woudn't stay nailed in tree so we borowed Jake's lader. Then Linda had to come borow Matt's lader so Tom cold get down off the roof. We forgot he was up there. He was decorateing the roof.

I got to see a fake Santa in the Wall Mart parking lot. He wasnt the kind you talk to about geting stuff he was asking you for stuff. He wanted money and lots of it. Then I saw another Santa driving a car in a car wash. That was funny. He said he wold have to tell the real Santa abot the car wash becuse the slay needs wash after Chismas and he's tired of doing it. I'd wash his slay for cheper then the car wash.

Saturday I get to go see a fake Santa. I know what I rily want but Colly says Santa does not do pepole. I wish he coud. I don't kow what I want for Chrismas may be a army tent or something.

Jack had a birthday and hes got one foot in a grave. He's old now like older then Michael. Even thow he's old he's still cool and he's my best frend. Tomarow I get to bake him a cake and deckorate it. I'm making a soldier on it and a parashot. I get to spend the hole day with Jack on saterday. We are going to play soldiers and chill. May be my dad will call and we talk to him.

I sent my dad a chrismas tree and presants to all his soldiers. My dad dosnt get to come home until every one gets to come home becase the goverment is short a letter. He has a tree and lights and when chrismas comes Santa wont forget him. Its red white an blue like my tree. I'm going to remind Santa that there is a war and not to forget deployed soldiers. Does Santa have the power to declare a sese fire? Maybe he knws Nato and can talk to him abot stoping the war. Maybe Nato can make the presadent bring the soldiers home. Some body has to be the presadents boss.

Hey Jack I'm calling you out. I love you to the de to heven to the moon arond jupader sling shoted threw the milky way to the darkes deepest place in space and light speded back to you at your house. Top that.
