Arriving June 2011 :)

quote of the day

Addelyn, as she is "rowing" on the stairs......

"Mom! No! You can't walk on the stairs, they aren't stairs. They are my boat. And it is filled with people. We are all going to America!"

Sorry about my lack of blogging recently. Life has been a little unique lately as we are in the process (a long one it seems) of moving. So I will update more soon when there is time (and energy!)

baby CRAZY!

my child is obsessed with babies. and i am not exaggerating. everything she does right now is concerning babies.
some examples from my day:

in target, she begged to go see the highchairs, car seats, and pack and plays. when i told her we were going to the baby section, she YELLED in a very excited voice to anyone who was listening, "WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE BABY SECTION!!!!"

tonight when mark got home from work and was laying on the couch, she wanted to pretend he was a baby. she tried to "carry" him and lifted his head, grunting and straining as she truly tried to pick him up. "You are heavy," she told the baby. then she said, "It's okay baby. I'm here."

it was time to eat a before-bed snack. addelyn picked up one of her grapes and began to rock it back and forth and "shhhsh" her baby.

Gotta love her tender heart and nurturing spirit.

I think Papa Marvin will be happy to see Addelyn on a tractor.

However, the John Deere below might not go over as well! :)

cruisin'

can we reach the goal???

Pretty amazing to run yesterday and then to watch many of my 135 teammates make it across the finish line, many of them finishing their first marathons! So awesome!

We are still raising money to reach our goal of $110,000. I believe we can still do it. I believe we can still build this school. Will you help us finish well and make it to our goal?

Thanks so much for all of your support!

i love you sweetheart

Isn't she sweet? I have those days where toddler"isms" are a killer but then there are those moments that completely make it all worth it! A moment that happened today as I laid down by Addelyn on the floor before her nap (no she does not sleep in her big girl bed, at all right now.) She asked if I would lay with her and tell her a Jonah story (we tell fun stories about her make believe friend Jonah and his baby brother Micah). As I laid my head next to hers, looking into her eyes, she wrapped her arms around my neck and said, "I love you, sweetheart." It makes me smile, just thinking about that moment that I hope I can forever keep in my memory bank!
