Merry Christmas!

This is what happens when you leave your daughter home with Dad and he dresses her for the day. :)
Getting ready for church on Christmas Eve - she loves bath time!

Pretty little Adeline in Nana Sandy's dress that she bought - Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve Candlelight service went fantastic at BLC. Mom and Dad, I'll get a copy of it for Grandpa to listen to. I also played for Christmas Day service yesterday at Living Hope. Had lot's of musicians to practice with this week. The top picture is of Addie dressed by Daddy when I came home one afternoon this week from practicing with some trumpeters at church. Even though it's a busy time of year, I do love it. Makes the services all that more special.

After church yesterday morning we just came home and had pancakes. Later in the afternoon we headed over to our friends Matt and Amanda's place for games, fondue, snacks, etc. Joel works today, and I'm doing laundry, cleaning, and need to grocery shop. Let's hope the grocery stores aren't too busy. Maybe I'll even work on getting our Christmas pictures ordered to send out. Ha. Miss everyone, and can't wait to see Joel's side on Monday. :)

Vote for Addie!

Please take your time and vote for me. I will buy you a beer if I win!

Love,
Addie

Addie's 4 month appointment

Had to bundle her up at night in her sleep sack - it's been in the negatives here, even during the day! Brrr! So much for global warming, eh?

Blowing bubbles - we captured a big one

After bath time

Addie had her doctor's appointment on Monday. She has recently found her voice and squawks and squeals a lot, along with her usual bubble blowing, smiling, and laughing, etc. Dr. Johansen said she's going to be a Chatty Kathy (must be a saying for a talker). She really was "talking" up a storm for him in the doctor's office. It's rather cute, but she was doing it on Sunday at church for Lori who watches her, and for Joel on Monday night church. Both of them had to take her out because she just wants to talk.... It's pretty loud.

Here are her stats:

15 lbs. 2 oz. (91st %tile - that's how we grow'em!)
24 1/4 inches (69th %tile)
Head circumference - all I remember is that she's in the 40th %tile, her head is getting bigger!

She had her shots. Nurse did a good job of distracting her on the first one - she didn't cry. The second one though was the usual "surprise" look at Mom wondering "why did you let this happen to me?" and then a nice, loud, long wail. :(

It's been awhile since we posted. It's been busy around this time of year, of course. Enjoy some recent pictures above.
