Getting Bigger and Bigger

The big hit this month for Addy is re-playing with Jax toys again. Not really age appropriate anymore...

Random Observation of No Real Merit

I don't know why, but somehow today it just dawned on me that Jackson is a L Stop in Chicago as well, actually, Addison and Jackson are both Red Line and Blue Line Stops.

Somethings Never Change...

With Family Cam, you can watch the bedtime meltdown of a two year old first hand. Just remember, when the timer goes off, the signals that tell the brain to be happy instantly begin to tell the brain STALL BEDTIME!

Happy Birthday Dad

Dad celebrated his 33rd birthday last week (11/10) and his 14th spiritual birthday (11/7). Small Groupmates Ted and Elizabeth Smith and their daughter Hastings were over for dinner and helped eat Dad's Carrot Birthday Cake that he bought for himself at half price discount at Farm Fresh!

Weekend Pajama Pics

Mom thought it was funny that we both had our feet crossed while laying on the sofa.

Check out the drooling fool.

The Bright Lights of Broadway Come to Hampton Roads

For Dad's birthday last week, Kristyn got me tickets to Monty Python's Spamalot Musical in Norfolk and let me pick my own restaurant for dinner! So Friday we had a fantastic Greek dinner at Orapax in dowtown Norfolk and then saw the highly entertaining remake of Search for the Holy Grail movie. The best part is Kristyn who doesn't like ethnic food and has never seen Monty Python loved both on this night, which made Dad very happy.


Our Greek Sampler Platter with Dolmades, Spankopita and other fun ethnic things.


The Trojan Bunny Rabbit on screen at the intermission.



To finish the weekend, we went back Sunday afternoon to Norfolk to see Playhouse Disney Live with Addy. Addy loved it and danced her way through much of the music. The show featured the Little Einsteins and Handy Manny (in person, rather than cartoon), and then Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse and their friends in life size costumes.







Our small group friends Chris and Leslie George and their daughter Ella went as well. We all got tickets off a discount site for 15 bucks each.

Pic of the Week

I just thought this Halloween picture of Abby Eason, one of Addy's small group girlfriends, was just to precious not to share.

Notable Quotables II

Addy: (On a Sunday afternoon) "I like boys TV. I like football better than my shows."

Mom: Addy lets go upstairs and read some Bible stories before we go to bed.
Addy: No Mom, Bible stories are boring, I want to read my magazines instead. (She meant her Christmas toy catalogs that came in the mail)

Addy: (in the bathroom) Dad, can you give me some privacy. (I had to go back to get something 0ff the counter) Dad! You are not giving me my privacy!!

A Day in Colonial Williamsburg
