Kite flying

Back in March (only 4 months behind now!) it was a windy day so I took Addie to Target to get a kite. I told her that we were going to get something exciting and that it was something that flies. Addie wanted to carry it to the checkout, and after we had walked a little ways, I turned around to make sure she was following me and she said to me, with both arms wrapped tightly around the kite, "I am holding on to it so it does not fly away." (she held on good, it didn't fly away.)

It stayed windy and we all had a lot of fun!


No, I didn't use Photoshop (or Gimp) that's really her flying the kite


And here's an action shot of her going down a tube slide afterwards.

Just chillin'

Rainy Day

Addie is all ready to go out in th rain...

Happy Easter!!!

Merry Christmas

...in July

So it's been a little while; like over a half a year, which is really an eternity in the realm of 2 year-olds.

Here's Addie peaking out of the mail slot of her tent house. She was less than excited when she first saw it, we told her that Santa brought it, which she took as "Santa is hiding inside" and Santa kind of freaks her out; but once we convinced her that Santa had more important thing to do than stuff himself inside a little girl tent house just to ruin her Christmas morning, she really liked it.


Here's Addie taking a picture of us with her digital camera (we didn't have nothin like that when I was...). She's actually not taking a picture of us, she's taking a picture of the ground, which goes well with the other couple of hundred pictures of the ground and people's feet that she's taken pictures of. She's not patient enough to let it focus and snap the picture before she looks at the screen to see the picture, so by the time the camera takes the picture, it's pointed at the ground.


And rounding out Christmas vacation, this is Addie with Jen's cousin Erin at her Rainbow Girls graduation. Erin gave Addie a Monchhichi (now these the did have when i was a kid) for being her flower girl. We, on the other hand, rewarded her with a 11 hour car ride.
