Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Christmas Day was full of fun for the Beaman family!  We got up whenever our alarm (Addison) decided to go off, which was at about 7:30....that was our first present!  Thanks, Addison :)  We emptied our stockings first thing!  Here is Addison surrounded by her stocking gifts:

I gave Adam his main present early so he could use them...a new pair of waders.  He gave me my main gift on Christmas Eve, because he couldn't stand to wait another day...a flash for my camera!  EXCITING!!!!  I have a lot to learn about both my camera and my flash, but I am loving them both!!  Once we got Addison all fed and ready and all of her things and the gifts packed up (which was like 3 hours later-seriously!) we headed to Boompa's house for breakfast and gift exchange.  We had lots of fun watching each other open gifts.

 Addison was so good!  She just chilled out on the floor for a little while. 

Then she went from person to person, just visiting. It makes me so happy that everyone wants to hold her! I just love Adam's family...every single one of them!  Here she is with Uncle Danny, giving away some of her sugar:


 Grandma Jane-Jane full of smiles:

 Boompa with his 3rd great grandaughter:  Bet he's ready to see his first great grandson!  Won't be long!

Grandpa Gerald:

 Megan and Addison:

Lauren got to feed her this time: 

Amy:

 Chris:

We all got way too many gifts!  Grandma Jane Jane and Grandpa Gerald always outdo themselves!  We truly appreciate all the gifts, guys!  Thanks to everyone! 

After Boompa's, we headed to Adam's Uncle Donald's house for a YUMMY lunch of chicken and ribs with lots of sides, all cooked by Adam's dad.  I swear, he needs to open a restaurant!  Here he is with Addison:


I do believe he loves that little girl!!  :)

Sarah having fun with Addison:

Adam, me, Amy, and Chris gave Grandaddy Milton a new toolbox for his truck:

I sure hope he likes it :)  We certainly love the gracious gifts that we got from Milton, Bim, Sarah, and Amanda!  Love you guys!

Addison's first babysitters

This past Saturday night, Adam and I headed out for the first time without our little "butter bean".  Everyone keeps asking me if I cried, but I knew she was safe with Grandma Jane-Jane and Grandpa Gerald, so there were no need for tears.  Plus, they were babysitting at our house and I knew I'd see her in just a few hours, so it wasn't so bad.  We went to Adam's 10 year class reunion and had so much fun!  There was a great crowd there, at the City Hotel and Bistro.  It was so good to see everyone!  I graduated just one year ahead of Adam, so I knew a lot of people at the reunion too, even though it was for the c/o 2000.  Here are a couple of snapshots...I am hoping to get more pictures from Lorie's camera to add to my blog, but this is all I have for now... Me & Adam: Me & Sarah: Me & Lorie: .....thanks to Lorie, I have a few more pics to share...

July 26, 2011...Addison's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!  I don't even know what to say.  There are so many things I have thought about writing for this blog, but right now all I can think to say is THANK YOU JESUS for choosing Adam and myself to watch over your precious baby Addison Leigh!  And THANK YOU JESUS for the blessing that she continues to be each and every day to so many people! I just can't believe it has been a whole year since we were at the hospital welcoming our new baby to the world.  And now here she is standing all by herself... She's still not walking on her own, but has been doing the bear walk a lot lately... She wears 12-18 month clothes, size 3-4 diapers, and size 3 shoes.  She started drinking big girl milk (soy milk) a couple of days ago, so no more formula!  She is still a GREAT eater!  And she still will let the whole world know if her belly is hungry!  She still LOVES to dance more than anything in the world!  She added a new word to her "vocabu
