Train Ride Downtown

This weekend Grandma came for a visit. We decided to make a fun day out of Saturday and test out the new Northstar train.

We hopped on at 12:44, 30 min later we were at the new target field and made our way through the sky ways into Macy's.

We got to see thier Christmas display "A Day In the Life of an Elf" It was super cute! We had a great time and the lines were not that long.

After seeing all there was to see, we headed up to the 12th floor for a wonderful lunch. After we were done we headed back to the train and had a relaxing ride home

October Update

Okay, I am making a resolution to try to make sure I update this more often.

Halloween has come and gone. Addy was a Lion! she was so cute with her friend Steven. It was a zoo at our house. Addy was not too happy with us putting her in the costume.

After a fun night of trick or treating we were able to get most of the leaves out of the yard. Addy and Sean had a lot of fun playing in the pile of leaves

Soon after all of this fun, Addy and I headed to the bright lights of Las Vegas. We visited Addy's, Grandma Ruth and Great Grandma Edith. We hit the strip and had tons of fun.

We got to see some shows on the Strip. We also went to Fremont Street to catch the "Born To be Wild" show. It was super fun and Addy got a kick of it.

Where does the time go?

Addy is a lot more mobile and has a much bigger personality now. As soon as we find our video camera we will post a video of her.

So much has gone on I don't know where to start...

First things first. Does everyone remember when it was still warm out? Well Justin and I went out on our boat and I caught a great BIG fish. Here I am with our neighbor Peter, the fish is as big as Addy!

That made for a great dinner!

Here is a slide show of some pictures of the past few months

I also turned 30...yes, it took almost an entire month before I can openly admit that I am no longer in my Twenties. The day after my birthday we found out that our family will be growing again! Addy and Sean will become a big sister and big brother! We can expect our bundle the beginning of June 2010.

Aug. update

Holy cow...where did the time go!

Well...Addy and I went for a hearing test...again. She finally passed "her good ear" the ear nose and throat Dr. said she did have hearing loss from the fluid in her ears. I decided that if he was willing to offer tubes it was the way to go.

Addy and I prepared for the big day...Aug 24 2009 she was going to get tubes at 1pm. I called in back up (my mom) to support me as I support my daughter.

To make a long story short:

Addy now hates the "scrubs" color blue and does not trust anyone who has a stethoscope.

Mommy is glad Addy kept her eyes closed as she was gassed.

Everything went well.

Addy did well, she was herself come Monday Night and was back to her normal routine on Thursday.

She is talking more, walking without falling more, talking with her vowels more and just enjoying life. For mom...well...she needs less attention. That is great! One more step to mom's independence.

My Mom did come to visit, poor woman. I dragged her up North, she now knows what "Up North" means. We had great food and a relaxing time. We also saw the underwater adventures in the Mall of America. Coolest aquarium EVER! we really enjoyed that.

Addy loved her time with Grandma Ruth and wants to see her again!

Addy is great and is doing just fine! I appreciate every one's prayers in this trying time. Thank you and we love you!

happy 4th!!!

We are WALKING!!!

Okay, it has been very interesting this last week with Miss Independent. Here is a video of her walking.

Here is Addy giving Mommy, Daddy, and the neighbors Deb and Kelli (with an I) a dance recital.

May Update

Addy is still not walking. I will post as soon as it happens! In the mean time please enjoy this video of recent photos of Addy. We cant wait until Sean comes for the summer. We will have many more updates then.
