Addison has exciting news to share!

Addison was a bit surprised initially and as happy as we were when she took a call from our Dr. When she was told the pregnancy test was positive, she was thinking (as you can clearly see in the photo), "AH, I'm going to be a BIG SISTER, WOW, I can't even wait 6 more months!" Then it sunk in, "Oh no, I'll have to share my time with Mom and Dad and with this little sister or brother...hum AND my toys! I'm not sure about this but I'll try my best!" Then she felt she needed to read up on how to be a big sister...She's all set now! (Hee, hee...)

We feel so blessed and are once again amazed we are going to be a growing family! Our new addition will be arriving in early August and we look forward to the exciting adventure and are especially excited for Addison to be able to have a sibling. If her dolls are any indication of how much she loves "babies," she'll (for the most part I believe) be loving it too as they will be only 23 months apart!

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas. Addison enjoyed opening up her gifts (really excited about just ripping the paper) and had a few "wow" moments. She would open up her presents and say, "WOW!" Lately she has been talking more and more which is fun because you can see her little personality come out even more.

When she visited Santa she was speechless though. No tears but just a look on her face like Santa just told her she was on the naughty list! (hee-hee...)

Have a great 2010!

Addi's a Model

Larry's aunt submitted some photos of Addison to a catalog, Exposures. We found out she made it into the Holiday catalog. Her photo was displayed on a water bottle on page 3. (In case you get this catalog and want to check out the actual catalog page.) If you want to take a peek at it online to see Addi as a "water bottle model" see the below website...

Just check out:

www.exposuresonline.com and search "photo water bottle" and her picture will pop up!

Halloween 2009

Addison was a little Love Bug for Halloween. She loved all the sweet treats!

Fall Fun at The Little Farmer

Make a Smilebox photobook

We had fun at the Little Farmer! Addison enjoyed picking out apples and pumpkins, watching the animals and walking on a corn maze.

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Addison!

We waited SO long for Addison's arrival and now it's hard to remember what life was even like without her! She fills our lives with so much joy and shows us she sure was worth the wait. This past year has been filled with so many precious memories and milestones.

We celebrated her 1st birthday with family and her godparents on Saturday, Sept. 7th. She really enjoyed her big day. She wasn't sure about eating the little elephant cake her Mom made for her but sure loved playing with it. She had fun opening up her all of her cards and presents too!

Addison, we never will take for granted how much of a miracle you are and we love you SO much! Happy 1st Birthday Addison Hope!!!

Look Who's Walking!

Addison latest and greatest is she has learned how to walk! She gets quicker and quicker each day. It's just amazing to see how she keeps growing up! Her little personality is really starting to show.

It seems her favorite place to walk is into our closet. She loves to throw herself into our clothes. My clothes is on the bottom and is at a perfect height for her I guess. Then she looks at us and laughs!

We can't even believe soon she'll be 1!
