Fair Fun

Me, Mindy, Michelle, my cousin, Allen, and all the kiddos went to the Pitt County Fair for some fun, fun, fun. We started out by checking out the animals. Addison was very interested in the animals until a cow "moo'd" really loud 2 feet from her face. She immediately went into freak out mode, started crying and reaching for her cousin Allen. The funny thing is, I was holding her...but that cow was BIG...and she knew her big cousin, Allen, had a better chance of taking on that cow than her mama did! (Allen is like 10 feet taller than me....ha). It was so sweet!


As soon as Allen took her, she stopped crying and was fine. I love that she does this! If she is ever scared, she wants her Daddy (or another male if her dad isn't there)...to protect her. If she is ever hurt, she wants her Mommy(or Grandmas, or Aunt, etc)...to comfort her. That's why God made Mommies and Daddies, Men and Women! Isn't God brilliant?!!!
Addison and Luke had fun running around at the fair...

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
