Well, we missed wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving however we did manage to squeeze in a few pictures. We have had a fairly productive week, although I can't tell you what exactly what we did, we feel like alot got done. Little Addilyn rolled over this week!! She is So funny when she actually remembers what it is she is doing. She'll give a little turn throw in a grunt and a delayed roll will follow shortly thereafter. We have had a lot of good nights with her sleeping one night 11 hours! I say that and right this very moment we are taking turns with her and have been for about two hours, she just won't stop fighting sleep...We are very excited that we can plan a visit to St Louis and spend some quality time with my family. we really miss them. We plan n visiting some of our dear friends while we are there, so if you want to visit with us while we are in town just say so. OK so the pictures are of Addilyn of course and her 1st Thanksgiving.

Wish List

Our Top 10 Temporal Wish List
(items we want but don't necessarily need)

1. New Car--to replace the stalling Malibu or the dented in Aztek that hit the Malibu (courtesy of Amanda)
2. Washer and Dryer--maybe something we do need to benefit everyone else
3. New Couch--sectional would be nice so we could cuddle and more could visit--probably not at the same time
4. New Camera--one that takes clear pictures from more than 5ft away "snapshots are great, landscape would be better"
5. Knee Surgery--should be number 1, but you see our priorities
6. Gym membership--we've been saying we would get for the past year now, only takes 5 minutes if you're not lazy and in shape..OH, and Zac's company would reimburse
7. Entertainment Center--not necessarily a bigger TV just something to cover up the bachelor's gadgets
8. Maid/Babysitter--one we don't have to pay
9. New Computer/Laptop--one that doesn't shut down in mid sentence
10. A VACATION--we need to get away from all of you

Here I sit

Well, here I sit with Addilyn finally asleep in her bed and Zac passed out in the recliner. Poor guy has been running a fever and not feeling well all day. His fight to feel like a real person, instead of a sick ol' man, lies in his recliner. I think he feels like he has given up if he goes to bed. No harm, no foul--I'll let the man sleep there!



Addilyn is getting so big. The girl is up to 15 lbs 8 oz!! Apparently we are doing things right. She is just a few days shy of 3 months..this time has gone so fast! And for those that read my earlier blog about my worries and fears about leaving her with a babysitter, she and I are great! We have a wonderful lady watching her, and Addilyn doesn't seem resentful towards me yet. It is nice when I pick her up that she recognizes my voice and smiles when she sees me!! I mean I still don't like to leave her, but the reaction she gives me makes up for any guilt I may feel during the day!


Speaking of the day, if you hear of a 3rd grade teacher going to prison for spanking her students--just think of me. (; I have a pretty tough class this year! I hate to say it but I have to tell myself to be positive towards these children. And that task is a lot harder than one might think with these sweet, little children. Pray for me ;)

I hear the sweet cries of my child coming from the other room. I am going to comfort her and then convince my husband to come to bed.

Here are just some Pictures of us and Addilyn...
