Whew, I think we are all still recovering from our whirlwind weekend (with the help of a little extra sleep and some antibiotics for me and the love bug). What a wonderful weekend it was!
On Friday, we celebrated my mom, "Gigi's" birthday with a cookout at our house. The Grices and our friend Barbara joined us to celebrate, and as usual, a great time was had by all. Addison was very excited to spend Gigi's birthday with her, and I must say, I think Gigi was just as excited to spend her birthday with Addison.
On Saturday, Craig's family (parents, grandmother, sister, brother in law and baby niece) rolled into town. My family and Craig's sister and family stayed at our house with us, and needless to say, we had a full house with lots of baby paraphernalia. It's amazing how much space all of Addison's "baby accessories" occupy. We used to have lots of "hiding places" for things when people came to visit, but most of those "hiding places" are now occupied with baby things. In fact, I'm fairly certain Addison has taken over every room in our house in one capacity or another.
On Saturday night, we all enjoyed dinner together at Dockside. After dinner, we came back to our house for dessert, coffee and an early BIRTHDAY celebration for Craig (since his family was in town).
On Sunday, our closest friends and family joined us at church for Addison's Baptism service. We had four babies under the age of six months in tow (Addison, Lauren, Ali and Hudson), and believe it or not, they were all little angels. My, how things have changed!
Although I don't think she was feeling all that great on Sunday morning, Addison looked like a little doll in her gown, and she was truly wonderful during the Baptism service. After the service, we celebrated at our house with a luncheon. We owe a special thank you to Gigi as she worked for days (even on her birthday) preparing the feast for us to enjoy!
We are blessed to have such wonderful family and friends, and we are so thankful they were with us on Addison's special day. Although she is much too young to realize it, she is one loved little girl. In today's crazy world, it is reassuring to know that as she grows, she will have the support and guidance of many truly amazing people.
Suffice it to say, we had a wonderfully exciting weekend. Maybe a little too exciting for Addison and her mama. I ended up in the doctor's office on Monday with a sinus infection, and Addison ended up at the pediatrician's office with her second ear infection. (This would explain why she was a little clingy on Saturday and Sunday). I guess that means we just need a little extra rest and relaxation this week. Illnesses aside, we enjoyed seeing all of our friends and family and we look forward to the next time we are all together again.
