Flashback Friday

Today would have been my mother's 58th birthday. Sadly she past away 8 years ago. I miss her everyday, especially when I look at my children. They will never be able hear her voice or sense her soft touch.

This photo was taken at her Aunt Jan's. She loved horses, yet she was allergic to them. That was one of reasons she had to part with her horse. As you can tell, she was having a fabulous time riding. I imagine her riding a horse everyday in heaven.

Happy Birthday Mom

Love you always,

Jenny

Mommy & Me Monday

This past weekend we went to Grandma's surprise birthday/retirement party. Addy has been "practicing" taking pictures with our camera. She took many at the party and actually got a few good ones. Mostly the pics were of the table, dirty dishes and her fingers. She was trying get one of baby Joe when I was changing him. So, this is the only photo from this weekend with me in it. Sorry that it's only my backside of my head. But she did get Joe.

Good job Addy!

3 months already

It's been 3 months already.

These past several months have gone by fast. You have already changed so much. I remember bringing you home, how small you were compared to today.

You have to weigh at least 15 pounds by now. ( You were just under 13lbs at your 2 month check up.)

You smile everytime your eyes get a glimpse of Mommy and Daddy. You are entrance when your big sister talks to you. And you smile the instance Addy smiles.

You love to be held and snuggle right under Daddy's chin. When there is no bottle in your mouth, you are either talking or have your hands shoved in. Sometimes it can be both. I think I'm in big trouble down the road. ;)

You just started to sleep 5-6 hours at a time during the night. Yeah!

I have loved having these past 3 months being home with you and your sister full time.

I look forward the coming hours, days, weeks, months & years of watching you grow.

I love you Mr. Chubbs!

Flashback Friday

I've been scanning in old photos. They have brought back many memories. So, thought I would share.

This photo takes me back 20 years. Yep, 20. I was a senior in high school and there were 5 friends that I hung out with (one of the girls is missing from this pic.) We were nicknamed the "Minnows" by a one of our guy friends. We would go everywhere together, like a school of minnows.

This was taken during one of our many typical togethers. I don't actually remember exactly what we did that evening, probably what many teenage girls do when they are with their gal pals.

The bigger the drop, the louder the plop.

Art Time!! Addy loves to finger paint! She made her Daddy a valentine in her very own special way.

I'm okay!

How the evening usually ends.

Reading books.

Addy will bring piles upon piles of books for us to read.

We have caught her reading to herself or her stuffed animals in bed after we had tucked her in for the nite.

I hope Joe will develop this type of love for books.
