VA love Addiebug, again!

As mentioned in a previous post, we visited VA in November. We did much of nothing, which was awesome. Usually when we visit VA, it's a lot of running around ensuring we visit everyone. Sooner, than later, that will be a thing of the past.

Our visit consisted of lots of time with Gramma and Grandpa Williams, time with MeMe and Grandaddy Hruska, participating in the Ellison wedding, and dinner with our good friends! It melts my heart how much love is in VA for Addison. It truly is amazing!

Addison spent some time playing the piano with MeMe. It was the first time she met MeMe and fell in love with her. Lots of giggles and smiles were had with Granddaddy too. Addie thinks he VERY funny (as does Mommy!)

Addison found herself in a laundry basket at Gramma's house. She thoroughly enjoyed herself though.

She had a blast playing with Kaylee. K even wore her ladybug outfit for Addie! So sweet!

And of course dinner with the gals.

At the airport with Gramma before heading back to Chicago....one last time.

Lauren gets M*A*R*R*I*E*D!!!

We made the trip back to VA back in November to celebrate one of my best friends getting married. Lauren married her true love, Justin on 11/11/2011. What a special wedding and celebration they had and we were so happy to be able to attend.

I am so proud and happy for Lauren and Justin. Live, Laugh, Love! We are looking forward to Addison have a playmate hopefully, sooner, than later!

Treading Water

Hello all! Sorry it's been some time since I have had the opportunity to blog. Things have been hectic, as usual (i know i know that is always my excuse) but when you are working full-time, your husband is traveling for a week, you are trying to complete your masters, AND you are making major life decisions (more to come on that later), blogging is the last thing I have had time for.

Addison is getting bigger than ever and becoming more independent than I care to admit. She would much rather be playing on the floor, pulling herself up on everything and practicing perusing along the furniture. In just a few weeks she will be a big 9 month-er, WOW! Where has the time gone? (Pretty sure all parents say that, right?)

Well, I know you are more interested in the updated pictures of her than reading what I am writing, so here they are.
