Home

Well, we survived the two week trip to TX and back and now we are in the recovery stages.  The kids and I had a wonderful time visiting with family and friends and we desperately missed Matt the entire time.  

Since we have been home it has rained and rained and rained.  Which is awesome because we really needed it!  The kids and I have been busy this week getting drawers cleaned out and new toys put away.  We also had to restock the house with groceries.  Matt would probably starve to death if we hadn't gotten married.  I didn't even have enough stuff in the house to put together one complete dinner.  Today we are probably headed out to Sam's Club.  There are just some things that cost too much to not buy in bulk....steak, chicken, toilet paper, chocolate syrup....all the must haves;)

I am about to go on a cleaning up rampage and get rid of a bunch of the kids toys.  Neither one of them really need a rattle anymore and it annoys me when I find one out for no reason at all.  Plus, with Michael's birthday coming up and Christmas right around the corner, now is the time to cut back on the toys!!

Addison starts her dance class on Friday and I think I may be more excited than she is about the whole thing.  I know that she wants to do it but I am getting butterflies for her:)  I will be sure to update with pics if they let me stay...maybe I will sneak some even if they don't!

The Ballerina

These are the newest clothes in Addison's closet:) We signed her up for a ballet, tap and jazz class this morning and had to get all the things on the list for her "uniform".

She had to have ballet slippers and black tap shoes...she definitely likes the tap shoes more but quickly realized that the slippers are more comfortable. Ahhhh, the trials and tribulations of being a woman!


So the kids and I should be in TX on Monday night. We plan to stay at least a full week and probably closer to two depending on scheduling. You can all keep up with me on Facebook....I seem to post there alot more often than here;)
