Ten on Tuesday

1. Only 2 more days until we leave for California! We are SO excited! I am not excited about flying with Addie though. The last couple of flying adventures did not go smoothly. 3rd times a charm....right????

2. We have been having lots of fun with the Braxdale's (minus Allan) here for the summer! Today we met up at Brushy Creek park for lunch, fun on the playground, and lots of sprinkler pad time. Addie loves Aidan and Ma-Ma (as she says), but is still getting used to having to share toys with them. She is also the biggest mootch! It doesn't matter how much or what kind of snacks I have for her....if Andrea has something (specifically if Maddox is eating something), she wants it. Luckily, Maddox is excellent at sharing.





3. It feels great to finally be back at the gym everyday. We go to cycle, body pump, interval, cardio sculpt, rpm, and Pilate's classes, as well as an occasional run on the trail. It is so much easier to schedule this in the summer, and I hope I can keep up with it some what when school starts back in August.

4. On Saturday, we had the Braxdale's and Hoffman's over for fajitas and drinks. Addie and Maddox decided they did not want to miss the party and refused to go to sleep, while baby Graham slept upstairs like a little angle. Addison finally went to sleep about 11...sheesh! She was still up at 7 the next morning!

5. My mom got A couple of CD's for Christmas last year. One with Elmo and one with Mickey Mouse and friends. They both say her name in all the songs. She gets so excited when we get in the car to hear them. She will request Elmo or Mouse. If I play the wrong one she is not a happy girl. Addie loves to dance and try to song along and act out all the motions to the words.

6. She still LOVES her baby dolls and is constantly dumping out baskets and opening drawers to lay blankets down and make beds for them. She can spend quite a bit of time doing this.

7. Addison now knows how to open doors. I was drying my hair the other day and she was playing in our room. I didn't hear her for a minute so I peeked in and didn't see her. The door was shut so I thought she was hiding under the bed. Nope....she was on the other side of the door! Time to start locking those doors.

8. D updated my phone and itunes for me the other day and I found a few videos of Addie last summer. She was SO little and cute!


9. We need to figure out how to get our videos onto the computer so I can start sharing those.

10. It is suppose to rain here for the next 10 days.....luckily we will be in sunny CA on Friday!

We hope everyone has a happy 4th of July!

A huge, heartfelt thank you to all the men and women (and to their families!!!) who have courageously and selflessly served this incredible country. We are grateful for our freedom every.single.day.

Enjoy a wonderful and safe day with your family!

God Bless America.
