Open Door Open House and First Day of Pre-K

This post is actually filled with emotion that unfortunately I don't have time to express right now.  At this time, I'm just trying to play "catch-up" so I'm keeping it short...These pictures are from Open Door's open house in August...the start of a new year at ODMCDC which is so bittersweet because Addison left ODMCDC this year to go to Greene County Pre-K.  Although she loves it at her new school, this mama still stresses daily over the decision to switch from private to public...I could debate this all day long, with no confident conclusion...but for now, I'll just share the pics of open house and Addison's first day of Pre-K...


Ada and Colton cheesin' it up...

chubby cheeks...

Addison and sweet, sweet Claire-bear...


 photos to cherish for a lifetime...



Addison does love some Jen!  And broughton does love some ice-cream...


Broughton being a bad influence, lol...

 You'd think she was mad about going to a new school...nope, she was just mad that I wanted to take her picture...Ha!  See, she doesn't always cooperate...

...but she warmed right up in about 15 seconds :)

Stacy sent me a few throughout the day, which made my day!!!


Please pray for all the little ones...school can be such a scary decision...no option is perfect, but I trust that God will lead us where they are supposed to be....I just don't know yet where that is.  sigh.

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
