July 4th


When I told Addison this year that we wear red, white, and blue on July 4th, she asked me what July 4th was.  I told her July 4th is "Independence Day".  She said, "Why is it Anna Bennet's day?"  Anna Bennet is a sweet friend of hers in her class.  I decided we'd wait a few years before we try to explain what Independence Day was ;)  




This year Daddy had to work on July 4th, so the three of us spent most of the day just playing around the house.  Then, when Daddy got off work, he took the little ones to his mom's for dinner.  They were all decked out in their red/white/blue get-up...





 Addison loves to check the mailbox...


 Broughton and his serious face...

 Lookin' like a diva...

 Happy Boy!

I know I am nearly a month behind, but I hope everyone had a fun 4th this year!!! :)

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
