Busy, Busy, Busy

The past month has been a busy one....  Looking for a new house, trying to sell our house, helping Ryan & Brooke move to their new house, and a trip to Kentucky to visit my brother and his family.  The good news is the next month will be even busier.  We found a new house (we close tomorrow) and we sold our house!  The next couple of weeks will be spent painting, cleaning, and fixing up our new home before we have to be out of our old home at the end of the month.

 I have some good pictures of the girls in Kentucky on my old camera, but I must have packed my camera cord already.  Oops.

 

We decided to spend some quality family time today at the Shedd Aquarium, since we will be very busy starting tomorrow.

1st B-Day Party

We had lots of fun at Addie's first birthday party last weekend.  There is never a dull moment with 5 little girls around!  Addie was so into playing with her little cousins she didn't want much to do with her cake or presents.  She only made a few finger pokes in the cake and refused to eat it when we tried to give her a bite. 

How many 1 year olds get a gun for their Bday?

This was to cute!  Kayla feeding Kennedy her cake.

Diaper races....Megan won, but it was a close one.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Our baby girl is becoming such a big girl!  She has given up the bottle and is drinking regular milk.  She pretty much eats what we are eating now and lots of it. It amazes me everyday how much food she can shove into such a little body.  Addie seems to be taking her time walking, but I am sure it won't be long before she takes off chasing after her cousins.  Her favorite word is hi and she says it all day long to everyone and everything that moves.  We can't help but smile every time we hear her little voice.

It has been an amazing year and we are looking forward to the new adventures that the coming year will bring.

Comment Issue

Typically whenever someone would make a comment on my blog I would be notified by email, so since I hadn't gotten any emails I just assumed no one was commenting.  When I went to my editing page the other day to my surprise I did have comments.  Whats with that?  It was fun catching up on all the positive comments that have been left the last few months!  Thank you for all of the wonderful comments!  To those of you who left a question I promise I wasn't ignoring you on purpose.  From now on I will keep a closer eye on this so it doesn't happen again.

Florida Vacation

We flew into Tampa Florida Tuesday (Feb. 23) and drove to Palmetto, Fl to spend sometime at Barry's Grandparents house.  It was a little chilly, but we were still able to do a little swimming and spend sometime on the beach.  On Friday Barry and I left Addie with Great Grandma, Great Grandpa, Aunt Megan and Uncle Clay and went on a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas.  We had a great time even though we missed Addie every minute.  I know Addie had a good time too being spoiled by everyone around her.

Our cruise arrived back in Florida Monday morning and we spent our last day of vacation relaxing with our beautiful little girl.  Tuesday we sadly said goodbye to Great Gma & Gpa and headed back to Illinois.
