Addie the Artist



I got daring this weekend and bought some WASHABLE markers to see if Addie would enjoy a little arts & crafts time. I was quite surprised and how excited she was. Thank goodness the markers are non-toxic, though since Addie kept shoving them in her mouth for a quick taste.

Daddy's Softball Party



Chris played on a softball team with some friends this past winter. The team won the league championship - yaahhh! Addie and Dawson got to hang out at the celebration party. They were so entertained by the adults they hung out by the door trying to figure out a way to break free!

A Little Gymnast in Training

We enrolled Addie in a Little Tumblers class. It is like a pre-gymnastics class for little ones. Addie is really taking a liking to it. If you look in the background of this picture you will see that the rest of her class is participating in activities on the mat, but not Addie. She took the opportunity to hang on the bars while there was no line. She is a smart little cookie (or maybe a little anti-social...).

Sunny Days Are Here Again!

Addie really likes playing in the sand - it doesn't matter if it is at the park or at the beach. She also tends to bring most of the sand home with her :-)

When Life Hands You a Lemon...


...Just suck the juice right out of it!

Happy Mother's Day




I am such a lucky mommy! I enjoyed a special Mother's Day breakfast with my favorite people - Chris and Addie and spent the rest of the day relaxing.
Happy Mother's Day to all of the fantastic moms out there!

Addie and Mimi


Addie got to show off her favorite place in town to her Mimi. We went to the Aquarium, where it was hard to keep up with Addie now that she is so mobile. This time she was able to chase the birds in the Lorakeet exhibit and check out what was going on in the petting tanks.
