Addy Makes Her YouTube Debut

The Intersection is proud to present video for the first time. Thanks to the wonders of YouTube.com we can post some videos we have made, and then embed them in the blog. Here is Addy's pic (upper right hand corner, "Fish Friends") on the cover page of YouTube at 4:45 today!

Snuggle Bunny

It wouldn't be a family Easter without dressing up the youngest child in ridiculous rabbit ears and making them suffer through pictures.

Easter Dinner with the Family

We were able to celebrate Easter with Jon's Grandmother and Uncle on Sunday who were able to stay through Sunday before heading back to Ohio. Somehow Addy was fed a bottle by Mom at 10:45 and then another one by the nursery staff at 11:00, so she was pretty tired. This may be techno-phobe Uncle Don's first picture on the web, so we had to make sure we got a good one. Great to see you two. Thanks again for a great lunch!

Addy's Has a Late Night Visitor...that Dad Approves Of

The Berkeley's Green Easter Bunny made his first stop at the Ritner house since we moved here in 2004. Each year, a group of fathers in the neighborhood go around on Easter eve (towing several coolers in wagons, of course) and stamp bunny paw prints from house to house as if the Bunny was hopping through the neighborhood . The tradition has it that when a family has children, the Bunny actually comes to the front door, rather than simply passing by the house. So this year was the first time we awoke to prints on the walkway. Here are some morning pictures, before the rain came and washed the prints away.

Rub a Dub Dub

Addy's favorite activity has become bath time. She sat in the tub (kitchen sink) for 30 minutes Friday night while Mom and Dad had dinner at the table. She kicks and splashes, but interestingly enough, rarely smiles while in the tub. Instead, she displays what has become known to Jon's friends as the "Ritner face." That the eye squinting concentration face that Dad makes when is focused on something. Addy brings that same intensity to her bath time. Here are some pictures from Friday night, we did catch her smiling once! (Check out her male pattern baldness in the front, not a good sign for Dad in the years to come.) But check out Mom's curls that come out when Addy's hair gets wet!

Numbers Update

The Intersection hit 2500 visits this week! (That doesn't even include all the times my sister in MN clicks refresh each Friday and Monday)

And more importantly in one week since activating Addy's AdSense account (from here on to be known as Addycents Account.) she has earned $3.23. At that weekly rate, she could make $150 by her first birthday. Thanks for clicking and searching for a good cause.
