Fun in the sun!

Today, after our peanut butter whole wheat pancake breakfast, Addie and Laney played their little hearts out. For some unknown reason, Laney, although she loves all the kids, has chosen Addie as her favorite. She gets so excited when Addie comes to play. All Addie does is giggle after her, loving on her and running with her. She's pretty attached to Laney as well. She waited all so impatiently for Addie to wake this morning, and as soon as she heard her holler "Mamo", she was off, jumping and whining and standing by her door. She met her with a big ole slobbery kiss and Addie didn't disappoint with her usual, "Hi Aney" followed by her contagious giggle. It is just so adorable! Well, this little twosome rose to a new level today. We were getting dressed to go run and errand and have a picnic and playtime at Unidad park, she was ready to go and I left them playing as I ran to get dressed. I could hear Laney running in and out repeatedly through the doggie door and Addie saying "Aney where are you" over and over. All of a sudden, her voice and giggle were so much clearer... yep, Laney had taught her in mere minutes to follow her right through that doggie door. I peeked out the blind and Addie was running right behind Laney all over the deck. I hurried to the playroom about the time Laney came back through followed very closely by Addie! Surprise! I had to give her the "we don't use the doggie door" speech, which she said in her cute little voice, "otay mamo." Stinkin cute.

After an errand, we spent a couple hours at the park having a picnic and Addie playing her heart out on all the irresistibly fun toys. The swings proved to be her favorite and we took one last trip to the swings, with her giggling her sweet giggle squealing "higher mamo, higher!
She adored this bumpy slide! reminded me of scooting down stairs!

Mr & Mrs Squirrel came over to share our picnic lunch. More giggles!

nothing like warm sand between the toes!

"She almost fell asleep before we got home and she had her a long three hour nap and was still ready to head back to her beloved sleep by 9.

Sweet girl. I sure love her.

Addie time!

Monday was Lennon's 30th birthday and Christal took him on a three day trip to San Antonio...alone! Which means Mamo gets to spend three days with her Addie!

She is so precious. She played her heart out with Laney, ate a good supper, took her bath and then announced bedtime! Wow, pretty incredible. We danced with mamo, sang a lullaby, rocked, and prayed. She ended the prayer with a hearty "Amen!" and "Nite-Nite Mamo!" It doesn't get any easier than that. Laid right down with her elmo and baby by her side with blankie tucked close...she never said a peep.

It's going to be a fun couple of days ahead!

My cup runneth over...
