Addy and Maddie






This past Saturday, Addysen had her very first play date! She was so excited. This was also the first time that we got to meet Miss Maddie. Maddie is the daughter of my college roommate (but more importantly my good friend!) We were pregnant at the same time and our girls are only 4 days apart. The girls are approaching their first birthday, so we knew that we had to get them together before they turned 1. We wanted to do this sooner, but it has been very hard living far apart, both of us working and having to take care of our husbands every need. (ha ha ha) Anywho. When they first met, it wasn't as grand as I was expecting it to be with smiles, hugs and kisses, but it was very cute and comical. They were both quite sleepy, so they were not at the top of their game. We sat them down together, they looked at each other and then they started crying. This did eventually stop, as you can tell from the pictures. I think that they had fun together at their first meeting. Also, since the girls birthday's were coming up, Katie's mom was so nice and got the girls their very own cupcakes, so we could celebrate their birthday together. They loved the cupcakes. Especially the icing! I'd have to say that after they were done with the cupcakes, they were on a bit of a sugar high. They were then able to play a bit longer, even though they were both really tired. By the end of the play date, Katie and I noticed that the two girls were babbling to each other as we talked. It was very cute. It was like they were in their own little world with their own conversation. This was such a fun play date, I just hope that it is not another year before we get this two crazy girls together again - I'm sure it won't be that long. Thanks Katie for driving to Peoria, so we could hang out with you guys. It was so much fun!! Also, tell your mom - thanks again for everything!

1st Piggy Tails!


Most of you have probably noticed, Addysen has not been blessed with great hair.... Aaron and I think that she is growing a mullet. Well, the top is now getting longer and it just hangs straight down in her eyes - and no, I'm not going to cut it. So I thought that this was a perfect time to start playing with her hair. I bought a bunch of little hair do-dads, and we have been practicing. I have wanted to put her hair in a pony tail or piggy tails for the longest time.... and so, this is our first attempt. Not quite enough hair - but still adorable!
