OMG! 10 days 'till Addison turns 2!

Addison turns TWO in ten days! The time has absolutely flown by at warp speed. Some updates on Addison:
She's getting pretty bossy. "No, Mommy!", "No, Daddy!", "Mine.", "No, no, no, no, NOOOOO!".
She's a much pickier eater.
She's accomplished at counting up to 11 (though she frequently skips 3,4,5), she can sing most of the ABCs, she knows a ton of other songs, seems to be able to carry a tune, loves playing notes in sequence on the piano, has lots of books memorized, and has an extraordinary memory.
She sings the "I've got a dollar" song from Little Rascals.
There are probably one million other things that she can do, but that's all that's coming to mind right now. I'm sure if you get to visit with Addison over the holidays she'll show you some things that are not on this list.
It's amazing how much people learn in the first two years of life! Hope to see you all at Addison's birthday party on 12/21 from 2-4pm. There will be yummy cake & milkshakes by request. I will be sending out invites this weekend. Evelyn did them again this year and they are adorable!

Please check out a new website ( www.healingforheather.com ) for a video & explanation of my dear friend Heather's health issues. In the spirit of the Christmas season, please consider making a donation toward her medical costs. She is one of the most lovable, kind-spirited people I have ever had the privilege to know. She inspires me to be a better person. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated by Heather, her family, and me. Thank you in advance!

Amaly comes home tomorrow! Helen & Matt come home next week. Marcus & Jason come home closer to Christmas. Yeah for having fun friends back at home!

Watch your mailboxes for our Christmas cards. They're going out in the mail tomorrow morning! Long's Photography did them and they could not be any more perfect! If you live in Tally and want any portraits done, I highly recommend visiting with Linda & Olyn. They are quite talented at their craft.

That's all for now...check back this weekend for updates on our holiday activities! Cookie making, visiting with Amaly, family dinner at Andrew & Evelyn's house on Saturday night, and lots of shopping are on the docket.
