Ms. Lynn's Visit

Ms. Lynn's Visit

We had a great weekend. Ms. Lynn from Huntsville, AL came to visit us. She arrived on Wednesday evening and stayed until Sunday. This was her first real visit with Addison Claire. Addison loved her too! She really seems to like everyone these days, although she does have to warm up a little before she shows her true personality. Addison was a real trooper as we shopped and went all over Mobile each day. She loved wearing Ms. Lynn's shoes and using her lotion. Addison taught Ms. Lynn her favorite song, "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes." She also learned the Elmo song! We already miss her and hope she'll come back real soon and bring Mr. Chris with her.

Today, Addison and Mommy met Daddy for lunch at Yen's Vietnamese Restaurant. This is Addison's absolute very favorite place to eat. It is very authentic. She eats the Pho which is a beef brisket/rice noodle soup. The only problem is the mess that it makes. Her Daddy actually cleaned up a little before we left and apologized to the workers. I wonder how long it took to clean up our mess? I am still finding pieces of rice noodles! You can see more pictures of our lunch and mess here!

Addison's first Easter was wonderful. We dyed Easter eggs on Saturday night and she was amazed! She had so much fun THROWING the eggs into the dye cups. We all had colored finger tips by the end of the activity. On Sunday, Granny and Great Grandma had lunch and spent the afternoon with us. Of course they each brought an Easter basket! Her favorite Easter basket treat was a new stuffed duck that quacks. It nows joins Elmo in the crib each night and stays with her throughout the day. She calls him "Duck, Duck!"

Granny Nan came to visit a couple of weekends ago. This was her first full weekend visit with us. Addison absolutely loves her! They had a great time together. Let's just say Granny Nan rested well each night! They spent many outdoor hours together while Dad started on our new screened in porch! I think they even walked the neighborhood a few times. Of course Granny Nan had to bring some toys which consisted of a dozen plastic Easter eggs and a new wheelbarrow. She also taught Addison a few new tricks while she was here. We hope she comes back real soon! Click here to see the entire set.

Addison went on her first road trip to Panama City Beach, Florida last Thursday for her daddy's annual meeting. She had a wonderful time! She loved the pool and just being outdoors. On Friday night, there was a dinner where she ate all of my shrimp and not much of her kid's dinner which consisted of chicken fingers and fries. Afterwards, they served dessert and had dancing under the veranda. We have a real party animal! She danced the night away with mom and dad. Well... until 8:30, that's late for a 20 month old right? On Saturday, we enjoyed visiting the duck pond and walking out on the pier and watching the fish jump. We met some friends for dinner on Saturday night where Addison enjoyed broiled crab claws and more shrimp! We headed back on Sunday so we could prepare for another week. Click here to see more pics.
