Let There Be Light

The Power came back on Friday night, but the cable/internet has been on and off since then. Some friends watched Addy today on Labor Day so Kristyn and I could go see Little Miss Sunshine, which we loved. Dysfunctional family learns to pull together as life falls apart. Great performances by Greg Kinnear and Steve Carrell. Here is our little miss sunshine with her buddy Braden Lee over the weekend. Addy turns 7 months tomorrow.

Its An Ernesto Fiesto!

Here is what Addy looks like tonight. Actually this is what the whole house looks like tonight. Ernesto has knocked out power since Noon, so we headed over to some friend's house to cook up our thawing meat and watch movies (and update the blog of course!) As of 10 PM the phones were still not working, but we are heading home anyway - to sleep in the guest bed since our sheets are molding away in the washing machine after Kristyn washed them this morning.

We're Going Mobile

Ok, so its not pretty, but here is Addy's Linoleum and Wood Floor crawl/walk. I will add a pure carpet crawl tomorrow.

BUSTED!

Mom busted Addy sneaking around the end table to play with her new favorite toys, power cords. Here she is getting caught and then one last picture before she got a scolding. After about a week of training, she now knows that as soon as she gets near them, we sternly say no, and she has actually begun to leave them alone. Why do I feel like all discipline wont be that easy.

GO CUBS!

Dad is in St. Louis this weekend with a good friend from Kanakuk/Kids Across America Days of Ol' and we are headed to the Cubs v. Cardinals game this afternoon at the new Busch Stadium. Addy wasn't able to make, but as you can see, she is rooting us on from home!

Aunt Jessica Heads East

Jon's sister Jessica and her boyfriend, Chris, visited this weekend from Minnesota. Addy was crushing hard on Chris all weekend and with their encouragement on Saturday, she starting crawling. Her form needs a little work, but she has made it from one end to the other of each room downstairs now. Videos to come soon. I guess it is time to baby proof the downstairs.

1/3 of the Way There

Google's adjunct requires $100 in earnings for them to pay out advertising dollars, so adduce bloc has generated one third of that in 6 months. I added a second bar on the top, so click away. Lets see if we can break the one day record or 5 bucks and get her to 100 by her first birthday and deposit that 100 of free money from googol into her College Fund. Free money is the best! Thanks for clicking!
