Counting Our Blessings

On this Thanksgiving day, we are counting our blessings. We have many things to be thankful for, but we are most thankful for this little girl! We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving day!

Addison Land

Christmas came a little early to our house. Santa's elf (Craig) and a few of his friends spent a day last weekend building a Christmas surprise for Addison. Unfortunately, the weather was rather dreary last weekend, but Addison was able to sneak outside to play in between rain showers. Addison was more than excited about her surprise!

Daddy's little helper...The finished product!Whee! I love it! Such a big girl!

Giddy up!Thank you daddy! I love it!

Boo to You!

I've been so slack about blogging lately, and I am pretty sure nobody even checks in on us anymore. I try -- I really do, but for some reason, I just can't keep up with the blog these days.


We've had a great fall so far. Addison made her first trip to Disney World, and she absolutely LOVED every minute of it. Addison also had a very exciting Halloween with her cousin Ali and her best bud Lauren (aka Lala). I will post Disney photos in a separate post, but in the meantime, here are a few pictures of our little goblin and her goblin friends.Do we know you? You are just our size!
If you are trying to scare us, it isn't working! Thanks for sharing your candy.
I love lollipops!

Trick or treating sure is tiring! The girls decided to take a little break (in the middle of the street). Good thing we went trick or treating in a quiet neighborhood.Addison and her "best girls!" This is the life!

I'm quite certain that our little ladybug was one of the cutest bugs in town on Halloween! We hope you had a Happy Halloween!

Happy Fall!

This little girl is very excited that Fall is in the air! Cooler temperatures and fewer bugs mean more time to play outside with her favorite white dog.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY!

On a hot, hot summer day, my friend Barbara and I took Addison on a little trip to the Columbia Zoo. Although I don't seem to have any pictures of the lions and tiger and bears (oh my!), I do have several pictures of the wildlife to help us remember Addison's first trip to the zoo. Addison enjoyed her very first merry-go-round ride.

On the loose!

The view is much better from here, mom!

Addison likes to call these creatures "monks." When you ask her what sound "monks" make, she will say, "Aah, Aah."

Look mom, it's a feeeee (aka fish)! Addison is a big fan of the feeeee.

Although the sign said that this was a type of kangaroo, Addison insisted that it was a "keee" (which is Addison talk for kitty).

Addison was fascinated by the ostriches. She thought this goat was hysterical. I must admit -- it was a pretty funny looking goat!

This is the biggest turtle that I have EVER seen!

We had a great day visiting with the animals.
