Addie's doll house

Thanks Auntie Sarah for the fun polka dot skirt. It's quite hip!

Addie will play for sometimes close to an hour at her doll house. Her favorite is standing up and rearranging (meaning pulling out) all of the furniture, and having someone play nearby, who will put all the furniture back for her. Her favorite person in the house, is of course the baby. When we ask, "Find the baby!", she immediately reaches for her. When she gets up in the morning, or is playing before bedtime, she hurriedly crawls towards her doll house. It's really fun to watch.

She is also learning how to share. Addie loves sharing her toys and food with you. She is not very patient with the food part. If she offers something to you, and you don't take it immediately, it goes right into her own mouth. Snooze you loose!

Addie & Norman

I love my dog Norman!!

He let's me pull his hair!!

And just sits there!

We went over to Lake Mills, Wisconsin, last weekend with most of our Eau Claire roomies and friends. Liz's grandmother has a beautiful home on Lake Mills. Addie was able to come along on the girls weekend. What a trooper. Only a few cries on both car trips (5 hours there and 5 hours back). Thank you Liz. We had gorgeous weather, and everyone had a fabulous weekend.

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.
