Addy on swingset

Cute video

This is the chair that we sit in several times a day to read books. So Addyson has taken to climbing in and reading ALL BY HERSELF!

Outside in snow

Addy got a sled for Christmas from Grandma Jane, so we were letting Addy test it out. She really had a good time!

Addy being Addy

We want to say hello to Grandma Jane! We hope you are having a great time and will see you soon. This is just some random footage of Addyson, nothing in particular, but we figured you would enjoy it.

Mommy AND Daddy's girl!

I thought this photo was priceless! Addyson has recently learned to blow a whistle, so she loves to walk around blowing on it. When she picked up the calculator to carry around, while blowing the whistle, I couldn't believe it! I figure it couldn't be more appropriate:)


Addyson liked the piano...
But playing it with her fingers wasn't enough!


Addyson just loves her fish maracas.

Here is a picture of Addy with her friend Ansley. Gi is reading them a book, but Addyson is not so sure about Ansley sitting in her Grandma's lap!
Addyson LOVES this little tea set! (Thanks Uncle Tim) She plays with it constantly... I just think it's adorable, and this video is very classic Addy, including the end!!!

Christmas 2009

Technically, this is Addy's 2nd Christmas, but this year, she was much more involved in the festivities! We spent Christmas in Florida this year, so Addyson got to hang out with all of her cousins (and many aunts/uncles/grandparents, etc.) down there. However, we were not very diligent about capturing these moments...I guess with four children under 3, there isn't much time! Addyson had lots of fun and so did we. It was great seeing everyone! As I said, we didn't take many pictures, so here are a few of her in a couple of her many Christmas dresses...




Another Christmas celebration...we then celebrated Christmas with Jeff's family. As you can see, Addyson is one lucky little girl! Thanks to everyone for making Addyson's first Christmas very special!

December 11, 2009 - Addy is one!

Addyson had a big birthday weekend, with lots of family coming in to help us celebrate her 1st birthday! We thank everyone for coming. Addyson (and we) had a lot of fun.
We cannot believe Addyson is already a year old. This year has gone by so fast. She brings us such joy...we thank God every day for giving her to us. It's hard to believe she was once so little. She has grown so much and still changes what seems like daily. She continues to amuse and surprise us with each of her new discoveries. We love her so much!
Here are a few pics of her 1st birthday weekend.

Addyson is awaiting all of her guests!

Addyson diligently read all of her cards! (Actually this one played music, so she LOVED IT!)

Addyson taking a ride on her new rocking horse. Thanks Gi and Papa!

Did someone say there was going to be cake???

Ahhh...the cake.

Addyson LOVED when we sang happy birthday to her...

Let go of my hands...I want my cake!

Yum Yum!

Here are some other random shots taken during the weekend.
