The Olympics

Addy was mesmerized by the closing ceremonies of the Olympics tonight. She decided to dress for the occasion as well - in the official Olympic clothing brought back for her - direct from China from Grandma Colette and Grandpa Dick.

Addy the model

That's right - she's gotta earn her keep somehow. =) Just Because will soon be opening its children's photography studio (stay tuned for a way cooler site in the next few weeks!), and Addy will be featured there (along with a few other kids too) as a model in some sample photos. The studio is now set up and fully functional and will be hosting its first clients in the next few days. Here are some shots that I took... you know, just to make sure that everything was working before people actually showed up wanting pictures taken! =)

Kraft (giggle)

For Claire:

Last time we saw Claire, she had recently started working at Kraft and she often spoke of the company as if she were a spokesperson. Adam teased her and said that there should be a *ding* (as if on a commercial) each time after she said the company name. So, in preparation for our visit to WI last week, Adam worked with Addy to try to get her to make the *ding* noise everytime that someone said Kraft . You can see that the *ding* didn't quite work, but the giggle is still pretty cute!

Happy 18 months kiddo!

Where does the time go?

Addy and the flowers

The flowers in our garden are in full bloom right now and they are just beautiful. Addy and I went out this morning to look at them and were visited by a bee. Though the camera didn't catch it, you'll notice Addy reacting to our visitor.

Addy speak

Addy and I were stuck at a construction stop today for quite a while. However Addy didn't seem to mind too much!
