Last of the Summerland Pics

The view from the Dirty Laundry Vineyard. They have a gorgeous patio where you can bring your own picnic lunch and then purchase a glass of wine to drink.

Happy 4th of July!! She was able to wear the same swimsuit and just switch accessories, her toque!

Summerland Visit

She loved her stroller rides in the morning and at night. The entire neighborhood could hear us coming!

Papa and Addie, the twins!

Happy Canada Day

Stef arrived into Summerland on July 1st, Canada Day. We were able to spend the evening having dinner with the Borchert's and then visit with Roger and Karen when they arrived from Vancouver.

Summerland photo shoot

Last night, we had a fun photo shoot with the Julien girls here in Summerland, B.C. Our photographer, Heidi, did an amazing job. She is a family friend from the church. She posted a few of the pictures on her blog.

Addie's visit to Summerland - Part 1

Addie's new Hotsling. It works slick!
Bad hair day! Even after I took out her bow, the wild mane couldn't be tamed. Only when we hopped in the pool, did it straighten out again!

Stefan, Addie asked us to post some pics to our blog for you to look at tomorrow. We both miss you tons and can't wait for you to come for a visit. Addie is having a BLAST visiting her Nana, Papa, Auntie Sarah, Auntie Carley and all her friends here in Summerland. We miss everyone back home. Love you all! :)

Hi Uncle Mark!

Addie's message to Uncle Marky

Addie misses her Uncle Marky who is in Australia with YWAM. She wanted to show off her new retro baby sunglasses. She's not a huge fan of them, but tolerates them on for a few minutes.

Addie also misses her daddy. We are up in Summerland, B.C. right now visiting Stef's family (Nana and Papa) for 3 weeks. Stefan comes in one week to hang out with his family and girls. We love you Stefan and miss you tons. :)

My new frig magnets

Addie can sit for quite a long time playing with her new frig magnets. Thanks Grandma! Her only problem is once they've all been taken down off the frig, she's not sure how to get them back up there. Then it's time for a new toy!

Finally, swimsuits that FIT!!

"I'm not sure what I'm going to do about this extra winter weight."

So big!! This cute swimsuit was a present from a co-worker. She likes playing with the skirt and bow part.

She's starting to pose like this a lot. Hand on her hip, and that expression!! What's in store for us, we'll have to wait and see.

A HOT summer night

Addie loves having her clothes OFF!

Norm has really enjoyed Addie and sunscreen. It means that he gets to give her an extra bath each night to make sure it's all off! :)

Below: I love this picture. I think she is concentrating on a number two or something. She looks hard at work.

Addie is 7 months

I LOVE this picture! Addie was caught in the midst of a belly laugh.

Her new favorite activity is "playing" kitchen. This consists of eating the wooden spoon and banging the pots around.

Addie has mastered both sitting up by herself and chewing on her thumb. She doesn't suck it, but gnaws on it instead.

Addie's first camping weekend and the Twins game

A big bear hug from my daddy!

We couldn't help it. Addie's outfit totally looked like a little boy. She was wearing pink shoes, but it didn't help! She loved her new Twins hat, thanks Nana and Papa! :)

Below: Addie and mom cuddling in the morning. Addie was a champ on her first camping weekend. She slept the entire night all bundled up.

So Cute!

This morning it was already 72 degree Fahrenheit when we woke up (around 92 by midday). This is Addie's first time going sleeveless!! So much fun. She loves it. Norm likes it too!! Much more surface area for licking.
