Vacation

We told Addie today that we were going on a vacation this week. This got her very excited, even though i don't think she knows what vacation means. We finally pulled up to the house we are staying at for a few days (some friends let us stay at their place out east of Dallas) and she asked "Where we are?" to which we replied, "We're on vacation!" That got quite a cheer from her! We've only been here 2 hours and we've already explored the house, had a tea party, and gone on a paddle boat ride. Should be a fun couple of days.

Here she is on the porch looking out at the little lake/pond and waiting for daddy to get up from his nap so we can go on the boat again.

"Hello daddy..."

"We miss you and will see you tomorrow!"

A couple of pictures that made me smile...

I'm not even sure what caption to give this one...
And what do you do when mommy and daddy have to work? Chill out and watch Cars!

A little too smart...

So this morning, Wayne and I were trying to use our "secret" language when I asked him, "Should I put on a m-o-v-i..." I didn't even finish my sentence when Addie piped up "I want to watch Nemo!" Guess we're going to have to figure out a new word to spell!

Happy Birthday Addie!

Little Ballerina

Yesterday we celebrated Addie's second birthday for the first time (her birthday is not until next Friday, and we're planning another party on Saturday!). We are still in NC and wanted to celebrate with Grandma and Grandad Denny.

One of her favorite presents was her new ballerina outfit. She and daddy have been dancing all over the house!

This is how she chooses to eat cake because she doesn't like having dirty fingers and the fork was just too much work!

She obviously doesn't mind a messy face though!

And here is a bonus picture from our trip to visit Addie's cousin Julia (and my brother Marc and his wife Rachel!)

The Beach

We had a day free in South Carolina and were able to take Addie to the beach for the first time! She loved the sand, loved watching the water, but didn't like getting too close to it. It was a beautiful day for some family time at the beach.

Here lunch here was PB & J, Doritos, and sand.
