7-6-07 Addy and Angela traved to Pt. Townsend and Sequim for a couple days. The weather was great they spent some time on the beautiful sandy beach in PT, Addy loved hanging out with Tyler and Ellie when they got to Sequim.

Today we spent a few hours at Larrabee
State Park. Joel, Chris, Maris, Tyler, and
Ellie repelled on the rock face right on the
beach and then we all spent time playing in
the sand looking for itty bitty crabs and
sea shells.

Enjoy the new pictures...


Addy had a great time looking for shells that
she could show us and surprisingly put in her
mouth.


Tyler looking for crabs.


"On belay, Daddy"


"Oooh mud" We had lots of fun turning over
rocks and looking for creatures.


Nice work dad...you make it look so easy!


Maris repelling at Larrabee State Park.



Tyler and Chris on their way down the cliff.


Ellie on her first repel ever...great job!

It's fun hanging out at home, Addy makes
everyday a party...unless she is teething,
sick, or cranky:). Addy is very silly and
loves to laugh. Check out these pics...











There's that silly grin again.



Addy doesn't really walk she runs...everywhere.








Peek-a-boo I see you. check out the shiner!!!




Cute cheesy smile Addy!!



Joel and Addy dancing in the kitchen.

Fun in the backyard on a hot sunny day in
early June, one of the few around here,
Ellie and Addy had a great time playing in
the sprinkler and the little pool. Addy gets
around so well now that Joel and I have to
take turns on Addy duty!!!


Ellie in the pool, wow it was a hot weekend.

Ellie



Addy is always tempted by stairs so that keeps
us on our toes!!! But what a cute pose!!!

Ocean shores was a lot of fun we spent
some time on the beach, played a couple
rounds of putt putt golf, drove the bumper
boats, and ate at the Irish Pub. Addy also
started walking this weekend and I am sure
that will bring us some new adventures
and her a couple of bruises.


Tyler and Ellie sun bathing on the Washington
Coast!!!

Hello Everyone!
Here are some updated Addy pictures.
Addison has continued to be such sweet baby. Her personality really shines through in these pictures.
She has been growing like a weed and is healthy and happy!
She is now standing on her own and is trying so hard to walk...she just cant quite articulate the whole taking steps thing :)
Sorry I didnt put up more today but I only had a few minutes.

Joel, Angela, and Addison













The first time Addy stood up on her own!!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

It has been a while since our last posting and we apologize so much for that!
So much has happened since October...
Addison's adoption was finalized, it was one of the happiest days of our lives.
She has been growing like a weed and her sweet little personality is really showing. She has been such a little joy during the holidays.

Please enjoy the pictures and have a very Merry Christmas!

Love,
Joel, Angela and Addy
