A little family (partial) pic before my parents Christmas party last weekend.

Addie showing her brother all about Dora stickers. This will not be the last thing she teaches her little brother.

Holidays 2008

Don't you just love my little grin?

Trying to get a Christmas card pic - didn't work out...

Okay so we went with the fake tree. (they were 50% off at Lowes). We never seem to be at home for the holidays and this seems to be easier for us for now. In the next couple of years we will most likely go back to live trees (then we can have 2 trees each year???)

Addie putting the star on the tree!

Bathtime together. It is so neat seeing them interact as Charlie gets older. They both have a blast every night at bathtime.

Trying (unsuccessfully) to get a Xmas card photo.

My little Wildcat!

Hanging out in Charlie's crib!

Playing in the fall leaves!

Halloween - Ferocious Lion & Tinkerbell

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

We love it when Grandma & Grandpa visit!

Some of the latest!

We took the kids to Monkey's treehouse while Grandma and Grandpa were in town. Charlie and I just watched all the action.

Best buddies!
I am such a big boy now. Look at me! We are rolling over now and it is driving Mom crazy! We love to do it in the middle of the night and then get mad and start crying because we don't really want to be on our tummy.

We met friends Shannon (mom) and Jayden (pictured) at the zoo last weekend. Lots of fun! Addie and Jayden had a blast and stuffed themselves with Cheetos!

Disney On Ice

We are getting ready to go to Disney on Ice. Hasn't my little girl grown up? I love her in pigtails - too bad I rarely put her in them!

This was the first part of the show and probably the highlight for Miss Addie. She loves Mater and Lightning McQueen!

Here are Shannon and Jayden, our friends who went with us to Disney on Ice.

This was towards the end of the show. It was for the new movie Tinkerbell and the Fairies (or something like that). It was really neat when all the inflatable flowers popped up all around the ice rink.
A rare family picture! Wish Charlie was looking at the camera. Addie really enjoyed it. It is great that she is getting old enough to enjoy things like this.

Disney on Ice

Okay tomorrow we are taking the kiddos to Disney on Ice. A friend of mine from work (Shannon!) is taking her daughter who is only about a month older than Addie. It should be great. Addie loves the movie Cars and Lightning McQueen and Mater will be there - she should love it. It is going to be almost 2 hours so we will see if she can last the whole time!

4 more days until I go back to work...ugh

Big Girl Bed/Going Back To Work/Thumb Sucking

Yes, it has finally happened. Addie has transitioned into her big girl bed - just in time for Charlie to be 4 months old and probably going to roll over anytime now...

It is hard to believe that my little girl is growing up. We have gone through some major changes in the last six months...1) Gave up the pacifier 2) Had a new baby brother 3) Started some serious potty training and now 4) Transitioned to her big girl bed.

It is hard to believe she will be 3 in March. Time really flies...

Going Back To Work
Okay, this is my last official full week on maternity leave. I am so upset! I am going to really miss all the precious time I have gotten to spend with my children. I plan on working from home (charlie home with me those days) two days a week. If that works out, it should make things a little easier for me. Cross your fingers...

One more thing...it seems like Charlie is becoming more and more fond of sucking his thumb. Stay tuned on that one!

Pics of the Kiddos!

My son is quite a smiler!


My mom was in town this weekend while Randy went to ATL for work. We actually got Addie to smile for some pictures before going to church. She also saw an airplane that distracted her for a moment. She loves airplanes, helicopters, cars and trucks. Maybe she will be a mechanic when she grows up...or a racecar driver, pilot, tow truck driver... who knows...

Movie Stars!

Addie and Charlie are sharing some quiet time together. Addie is enjoying making Charlie look at himself in her mirror!
My little movie stars!

Florida Vacation 2008

Addie attempted briefly to go fishing with Papa. Atleast she looked good with her Barbie fishing pole.

Randy and Charlie at the beach. Doesn't Daddy look great in the Bjorn?

First family pic at the beach! Probably not the best idea to take a picture of us when we haven't even showered that day! But, atleast we are all in the pic!
