So Lucky....

To have a husband like this....

Our Little Fish

Out of the Mouths of Babes....

Addison was drawing the other morning while I was getting ready and when she finished, she brought this picture to me. Even though I wasn't quite sure exactly what it was a picture of...I told her that her drawing was beautiful! However, nothing could have prepared me for what she said next.

When I asked her exactly what this beautiful drawing was...she looked at me and said, "It's my baby brother in your belly!"

Really?? Where does she get this stuff???? I obviously have WAY too many girlfriends that are pregnant and a child with one heck of an imagination!

Precious Conversations With Addie....

Last night we were driving home and this is what I heard...

Duke to Addison: "Addison you know what? You're the sunshine in my sky."

(Long pause....)

Addison to Duke: "You know what Daddy?"

Duke: "Huh?"

Addison: "You're the clouds in the sky that make it rain!"


Have I told you today how much I ADORE her?!?!?

Celebrating Special Times With Precious Friends!

Our family had the honor of celebrating a HUGE milestone for a very dear family friends of ours a few weekends ago....Madison graduated from High School!

What seems like a very long time ago (in reality about 17 years ago) my Mom replied to an ad in the newspaper of a new Mom looking for someone to help watch her young daughter so that she could return to work part-time. All I can say is THANK GOODNESS Lisa posted that ad and Mom replied because the bonds that were formed from that moment on can never be broken. That little girl (Madison....and YES this is where our Addison gets her name) is no longer so little and she now has two beautiful sisters that will soon follow in her footsteps.

Congratulations Madison!!! We love you!

Madison and I...hummm...16 years ago or so...still not sure if even that long ago explains these pants! :)

Crazy to think that she is now holding MY little girl.....

Addison felt SO big posing with Madison and all of her friends and it was SO sweet for them to include her....looking at this was a flash forward for Duke and I and one that we are NOT ready for in ANY way!

My precious family of three...

Duke hitting on Mom....just kidding! He never reads this anyways so this comment serves him right....HeeHee!

My sweet Daddy! Love him!

Addison, Madison and I....and yes I called Madison "Addison" and Addison "Madison" ALL night! Way too confusing!

Addison so proud to be posing with Madison...

And the lady who started it all...Miss Lisa! Thank you for posting a tiny ad that brought two families (now three) together forever. I love you!!!

Just A Typical Saturday Night....

Dance Party Style! Have I told you we have the BEST friends?????
