Sleepover Firsts

Broughton spent his first night away from home about a month ago (a little late posting, I know).  I went with the "Burlington girls" on our annual Myrtle Beach shopping trip and Adam was busy, busy, busy picking beans.  Broughton stayed with Gama and Gapa.  He did great!  He slept through the night and blew lots of raspberries. :)


Addison had her first "sleep-over" that same night.  She has stayed the night away with grandparents on numerous occasions.  In fact, she has stayed with Gama and Gapa nearly one night a month since she's been just a few months old.  (Huge thank-you to Gama and Gapa, by the way!!!)  But for the first time, Addison had a sleep-over with someone other than grandparents.  She stayed with Amy, Chris, and Hayden!  She did great as well and I know she had lots of fun!!!  I am so thankful that we have amazing family so close and so willing to help out with the kids!




Me, Addison, Broughton, Mindy, Luke, and Landon also had a sleep-over recently.  We spent our first night in my mom and dad's new house!  I am hoping to do a separate post on this soon!  But to make a long story short for now, my mom and dad built a new house and moved in just a couple of weeks ago!  Words cannot express how happy I am for them!!!

Addison and Luke love the play room...

Broughton didn't know what to think about this Rudolph nose...

Merry Christmas...

good morning, Gukey!

PaPa cooking breakfast...yum!

Poor Broughton, he's always surrounded by pink...although it sure doesn't seem to bother him too much now.  Ha!  Don't worry, I'll be sure that he has all his own "stuff" at some point, but for now we do what is convenient and inexpensive...and that is sharing sister's things.  

Gingerbread house and Gingerbread train!...fun, fun, fun!


All bundled up...

Yay for sleepovers!  :)

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
