Thanks Blakes!

Addison got a package today from Megan and Baby Zach. Megan and I use to work together back in VA Bch and she is a good friend of mine. The whole package was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. I know we will use everything...and the puppies LOVE the peanut butter snacks! Thanks Blake's...hey, that rhymes!


These shoes will certainly fit her big feet before too long! She may be tiny, but her feet make up for her small body! And you know I LOVE the butterflies. :)

She loves to pull soft blankets up by her face as you can see here. She likes her new rattle too. Thanks again for everything!

Christmas Dress

Leaving Indy--It's Snowing!!!

The night before we left we helped put the tree up. Here Ava is putting on her first ornament. So sweet!

Buddy found him a comfy spot!

The morning we were getting ready to leave we woke up to it snowing. Yay! The roads weren't bad luckily. It was just a dusting.

Spending Time With Family

Jayden--you are beautiful! We love you!

Brother & Sisters playing! I love this picture! I am glad Peyton spent the night so we could all hang out. We stayed up late playing games and eating leftovers!

Cousin Steve and his family came by to visit. They have two beautiful boys. Have fun on your cruise!!!

Aunt Elaine & Uncle Lenny came by to visit. It was nice visiting with them and catching up. We were glad they came by.

Pretty Dress!

I know you can't see the front of her dress here, but its a sneak peak at least!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I love them both soooo much!

Paul, Christin, & Addison...our new little family. Oh, and Paul cheesin' it up big time! And Addison watching t.v.!

Me-Ma giving Addie a bath for the first time. She loves her Me-Ma.

Fun, Fun, Fun...

Me-Ma got Addison to do a belly laugh....AND neither Paul or I was there to hear it for the first time (11/28)! We are always with her and the second time I leave her she does something for the first time! Can you believe that!??! It is the cutest thing ever to hear her do a belly laugh. Me-Ma showed us the trick.

While Christina and I went shopping for Addison a Christmas dress she was so tired from her belly laughs with Me-Ma that by the time we got home she was snug as a bug here sleeping peacefully. Thanks Me-Ma for watching the kids for us! I have to say it felt weird not tugging along a car seat and stroller....and its only been 3 months that I have had to do it, but it was different. My life is forever changed!

Addie wasn't the only one sleeping peacefully!

Allie loves her baby dolls. Isn't she precious?!?!

Spending Time Together

Dylan giving his baby sister kisses...aw, how sweet!

Me-Ma sharing herself with everyone- at once! What a multi-tasker!!! Everyone loves Me-Ma.

Hey, Drake, take my picture! He is always crackin' me up.

Buddy really thinks he is a baby too.

Our Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we went to Indiana to spend with our family. We stayed at Christina's with our whole crew-- dogs included! The dogs did well with everyone and enjoyed the extra attention...and turkey! Addison did great on the drive and slept most of the way....yay! Thanks Christina for having us. We had so much fun. The following pics are from our day...


Paul, Christina, & Stepmom Kay. Kay came by during her break and played some mad gab with us! It was so much fun and we were glad she got to drop by. I have to say Kay and I rock at Mad Gab! We ARE the champs! :)

Brother & Sister thinking real hard here at Mad Gab....too funny!

Wrestle time--get him girls! Can't you tell we all just have way too much fun when we get together?!

Our niece, Jayden, is growing up to be such a beautiful young girl!

Me-Ma & Addison sharing some more time together. Me-Ma couldn't get enough of her new grandbaby!

Aunt Tina & Addison talking and laughing!

I had to throw this picture in here of Zoey. She found a spot to lay and you can tell she thinks she is one of the babies too. She is such a good dog and does so well with all of the kids. Good girl Zoey!
