Woo hoo! I was so excited! Addy had been number 2 ALL WEEK! The precious little girl that was number 1 all week was actually dead last at the end of the week so I'm not sure how that happened! Anyway it's a great thing that that card should be coming soon because I just dropped $191 on Addy's new glasses yesterday :/! She lost her new pair (from May). We have no clue where they are, we took the car and house apart. I'm pretty sure she threw them away. Ugh. Fortunately she had her old ones to get by but they were the wrong script. We picked up her new PURPLE glasses yesterday :) We're hoping they will be easier to see than her light pink ones! Dr. Pierce (whom I love I tell ya) came to see us as we were picking them up and I told him how she is really fighting wearing her specs. He thinks that they just aren't fitting right so he talked with the lady that was adjusting them and he was very specific on what he wanted. She worked and worked. Addy smiled at herself in the mirror and walked around saying "purple glasses". We got in the car and in about 1.2 seconds they went flying to the back of the van :( I'm thinking that may have just become a habit. She keeps them on at school and when we are out, it's just in the car and at home. Which is strange because we always have her wear them. Now I'm paranoid to since she is mobile and we already have one pair MIA I was pretty lax about it today. She disappears and so do they! I didn't get a pic yet, I'll post one later, they're pretty cute :)
Today Jake (#52) played his first football game of the season. He had a game last week but it was canceled due to lightening. I was at an amazing DS conference (will post more on that later) so I'm glad I didn't end up missing it! Our team lost by two (I think). They played really well, it's amazing the difference in fourth and fifth grade football! I have no idea what Jake's positions are, he's told me a million times but I can never remember! He was a blocker, that I know! I think he's the only one that comes home with a clean uniform. I swear that kid gets filthy all week and you put him on the football field and all of his aggressiveness is gone! So not his usual self, he's pretty timid on the field but he's better than last year. At least this year he is usually where the ball is and not lagging behind :)
I went to my brother and sister-in-laws yesterday to pick up a power washer to clean the lovely gunk off our siding, it's time! I have to do it tomorrow after Scott puts the darn thing together for me! While I was there my SIL gave me 7 tubs of clothes!!! Jake and Addy and I spent most of the evening going through them! (Cooper went camping with Youth Group from church and had a blast!) He was thrilled with some of his hand me downs and Addy will have quite a bit once she grows! I was able to put a nightgown on her for the first time, I never could before because she always got tangled in them crawling! It's a 3T so it's pretty big on her but it's cute :)
Addy's birthday is less than a month away and I have no idea what to do. Have a party? Just have a family gathering? (which most likely will just be us) or just do her celebration at school? It's so hard to plan a party for her, she doesn't like inflatables, eating, dressing up etc. So I'm a little stuck what to do. She does have friends at school and church we can invite. Not sure they would come but we could try. As you can see in my header pic Addy does have quite a following at recess! Those precious boys sit with her as she demands which songs they sing. There is a set of twins that always play with her, they are sooo cute! Love them!

Oh girl, Dariya does the EXACT same thing with her specs in the car. She requests signing time and as soon as we are on our way clink I hear them hit the van floor. UGH. She is great at keeping them on at school too but not at home. I think the constant distraction of everything going on at school keeps her focused off them.
Good luck, can't wait to see how cute she is in her new purple!
Oh my gosh... the header picture nearly made me cry and the last one in the post. Your girl is just not finding her way ... she is blazing the way!!
The nightgown is precious and I really cannot believe she is a walker. An honest to goodness walker!
You know I wish we could come but there is no way I am going to be able to swing it.I will anxiously wait for that darn money tree to bloom however and maybe, just maybe, one day we will get there.
Love to you and keep blogging... glad you were just out of your mind for a short time. What would people do without their Addy fixes??
Anna chucked her glasses out the van door the other day while I was picking up the Bigs from the neighbors house. After tearing my van apart looking for them, the neighbor boy finally came down with them as he had found them in their driveway.
Love seeing Addy upright! nightgowns, dresses....the sky's the limit =) Have fun!
Joy won't wear her glasses for more than a couple of minutes and then they are missing too!
Good luck with the new ones - and Congrats on the 2nd place - so fun!!!
Look at Addy go! She is really taking off isn't she?! YAY Addy! You go girl! Can't wait to see pics of her in her new glasses! Give her a hug from Gavin and I. : )
If you have the kind of glasses with a strap around the back, you can get one of those pacifier holders, attach it to the strap & clip it to the back of her clothes. My daughter that is 2-1/2 with Ds has glasses also, she is pretty good about leaving them on but off course they come off sometimes (especially when we are in the car, along with her shoes). That way when she takes them off they are hanging down her back - I figured that one out after hunting all around the house for them a couple of times!.
