Two Whole Days

That is how long it took to get our sweet little girl back after picking her up from Grandma and Grandpa's house Saturday night.  I have always heard that your kids are not the same when they come back from Grandma's, but I finally got to witness it first hand.  Addison stayed with Jane-Jane and Gerald Friday night and all day Saturday.  When I went to pick her up Saturday night she was EXHAUSTED, as I expected.  After all, she had been playing all day with her Grandma and Grandpa.  The shocker, however, came on Sunday and Monday.  Every time we sat her down she cried.  We put her in the jumper, she cried.  We put her in the high chair, she cried.  We put her in the car seat, she cried.  The only way to make her happy: hold her.  Every time we got anywhere near her she would hold her hands in the air, wanting you to pick her up.  We gradually broke her of that...after two whole days...and I am happy to say that she is back to her normal self....a sweet, happy, not-so-spoiled baby girl.  Although that was absolutely no fun, we are thankful that her grandparents love her so much and want to spend time with her!  We aint' mad at ya  :)  And no, Gerald, this is not a challenge!  (Gerald told me on Saturday that if they had done their jobs right, it should take us a week and a half to get her back straight)  Ha! Here are a few pics from her stay...

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
