date night

 
Addison had her first date tonight with Gavin Caruth. They played on the floor together, ate a lot, and went to sleep. Big brothers Will and Owen made sure that the little ones behaved themselves. The boys had fun playing outside with Derek and watching a movie and having popcorn. check out more pics on picasa in the Addison 7 weeks album.

Happy 4th of July Weekend!

 
I hope everyone had a happy 4th. I know we did. We went to the Edina parade in the morning, where Will marched to the beat of the marching bands and waved to the clowns. Then after lunch and a nap, we went to visit our good friends new baby boy in the hospital. Jennon and Beth had Cooper James in the early morning hours of the 4th, congrats friends! then we were off to our other friends house, Kelly and Joels, to play, eat, and watch the fireworks. Joel put on a little fireworks display for the kids and Will loved it! Pyro??? Addison managed to sleep through everything. The bands at the parade, meeting Cooper, and the fireworks. We sure are lucky to have such a good sleeper! Today, the 5th, We went to the park waiting pool for the 1st swim of the season. Addison is too young to be in the sun and pool, so she hung out in the shade while Will splashed around. What a fun weekend! check out more pics on picasa.

Summer Fun!

 
It's been a beautiful summer so far. Addison, Will and I have been able to get outside a play a lot. Addison is awake more and Derek and I keep thinking we see her smiling. She is so strong already. She can push up off her chest and hold her head up and turn it back and forth. She loves to cuddle up and fall asleep on Derek's chest, but sleeps in the bassinet at night for about 4 hour stretches. Will is a great big brother, he loves to help out. He is also growing up so fast. Yesterday and today he brought me a diaper and told me he had a poop. anyways, check out some new pictures on Picasa. There are a few of Will standing in front of his tree we planted last fall. It's getting big just like will!
