What a Fabulous Weekend

We had a great family weekend. I think we all needed some quality time with each other and we got it! Charles, Addison and I went shopping for Addison's birthday at the local botiques and then at he mall! We tried some of the restaurants around the house, we went for a long walk (Tootsie included) where we saw a baby alligator, we read lots and lots and lots and lots of books and we went to our neighbors last night to have a glass of wine. We ended the weekend with brunch this morning and relaxing around the house and reading MORE books. We really had a wonderful time being with each other and getting familiar with our new town.

The only "toy" Addison is interested in right now are books. We spend hours every day reading the same books over and over. She has her favorites and she has ones she could care less about. It is so sweet! She will grab a book and walk over to one of us and climb in our lap and then have us read it to her....over and over and over again! :) If mommy and daddy need a break from reading she sits on the floor and thumbs through the pages of each book looking at the pictures. This weekend she started pointing to the images when we said its name. Like "where is the bird", and she points to the bird. There is one book that says smell the flowers and she will sniff them....so cute! We are just amazed at quickly our little sponge learns and it makes us so proud to watch her!

St. Patrick's Day

We had a great St. Patty's Day here in Tampa. Addy looked cute as ever in her green shirt from Grandmommy! We ran some errands then Miss Leslie came to visit from Vero! Leslie stayed the night with us and we had so much fun spending time with her. Addison had spaghetti last night and she was being such a ham I had to take pictures and share with you all! Hope you had a great green day! Love to you all!

Finally New Pictures!

Addison, Daddy and I are all loving Tampa so far. The new job is wonderful and the house is coming along quite nicely. Here are some new pics of Addy. The palm tree walkway is right outside out front door and there is a fountain Addison LOVES to stick her fingers in! Hope all is well. Can't believe our pnut will be 1 year in two weeks! :(

Moving On

After 4 and a half hours of watching two grown men climb up and down 4 flights of stairs to unload everything Charles, Addison and I own we are officially residents of Hillsborough County! Being the trusting wife that I am I let Charles choose the house we are going to live in for the next year without even seeing it! I must say my husband has impeccable taste (probably from the 6 years of training)! Our house is lovely. Our kitchen is out of my dreams and it is located in a fun, trendy, urban setting! You walk outside our front door and walk to the left and there are cute little boutiques, cafes and a Sweet Bay (grocery store) right there too. Best of all we feel like we live in a safe family friendly area!

My fabulous mother-in-law flew in last night to help Charles and I unpack and watch her wonderful grand daughter. Addison loves the new house...really she just loves trying to see if she can make it to the stairs before one of us catches her! Addison has enjoyed playing with Grandmommy.

Pictures of the house to come.....stay tuned.......
