Mommy's Little Helper!

Addison LOVES to help! Especially in the kitchen. She loves to wear her apron and hat from Nonna Nancy and Nonno Chris!! Tonight she insisted on wearing the hat while we made quiche. It is so funny to watch her.

It seems like just in the last week she has learned so much. Bill or I will help her with something and she will say "Thanks". It used to be thank you. Today she was playing with her stroller and she told me that she had to go to Walgreens. It isn't like we go there a lot. She just listens to everything and it normally comes back in the right context. She is truly amazing!

FUN TIMES!!

YEAH!! A way to get energy out even when it is cold!!! Casie works at Boys Town and there is a great field house there that she can use! It is SO nice! And it was SO nice of her to invite Addi and I along! We went on Tuesday and the girls ran around, Addison tried to ride Sophie's bike. Sophie is a pro!!



Addi trying really hard to do what Sophie does! But instead she just jumped around!!





Thanks guys for the fun time!!

YIKES!!!

I have been SUPER bad about updating this lately! My camera broke (the little one) then I thought it was fixed but it isn't. I took it in again today and they thought there was a short in it....and not worth fixing! Arrr! So I was waiting to get the photos off that camera, but the card was somehow erased. Oh happy day! We are good. Addi is fighting off a bit of a cold and thought it was a great idea to get up at 5 this morning!! She is sound asleep now and I hope it stays that way until 8 or so!

Overall, we are doing well. I am getting SO excited to decorate our house!!! Yipeeeeeee!!!! We have a new tree to put up and everything (I don't like the messy ones...I'll burn a candle to get the scent!) I asked Bill if I could start but he said it was too early. But not to wrap Addison's advent gifts. I took all our Christmas books, CD's and movies and wrapped them up. So each day Addi will get to open one of those. They are all thing we already had but it is a fun way to read a new book every day and spend some time together! I read this idea long before we thought about having kids and couldn't wait to do it! Here is my chance!!

Anyway, we hope that you all are getting ready for Thanksgiving and find that you have a lot to be thankful for. I know that I do!

Love Always,

Jen, Bill and Addi

Trick or Treating!

Addison had a wonderful time tonight with Sophie! They are the cutest little friends ever! They were holding hands, playing follow the leader and having their own little conversations! We went to a few houses in our neighborhood and then went to Casie's parents house. Her Dad is a photographer and takes pictures of all the trick or treaters! It is so awesome! Then he sends out the picture to the kids that are in it! How nice is that! ONLY in the midwest!

Addison and Sophie had the whole trick or treating thing down! They were so cute holding hands and saying 'trick or treat'. They were so good about saying thank you too!

Picking up the trees!

So it was finally a nice day so we went out to rake leaves...but right before we went out Addison said, "we are going to pick up the trees!" I just thought it was funny! She had a fun time outside at least for a little while before we attempted a nap!

Just Because!

I know everyone is going to fall over with all the posts today! I am catching up! Here are some pictures that I just had to post...they were just TOO cute!!!


Nonna Nancy and Nonno Chris...your present was a HUGE hit!!




"Hello Onie....where Maggie go?"

Halloween Fun at the Library (briberry)

Today we went to the Library with Sophie! I am not sure if Addison was more excited about the library or seeing Sophie. I am thinking seeing Sophie the bunny as it has now changed to at our house.



This library is great! We listened so a couple of stories, did some halloween crafts, went to City Hall and sang a song to the Mayor and had oodles of treats! Popcorn balls are MESSY!!






I think Addi-Cat had a great time! We hope you enjoy the pictures!!

Happy Halloween (a little early!!)

Love the Nesbitts
