Grandma & Grandpa Visit

We had 2 great days with Patrick's parents here.  It's obvious grandparents have a very special love for their grandkids.  Adeline and Charlie loved playing with grandma & grandpa...Addie continues to talk about the next time she can see them.

 
grandpa was such a good sport playing "doll house" with Adeline

Little bit of everything...

look very closely...do you see who is NOT at this dinner?  That would be our two little ones!  Patrick and I enjoyed a dinner out with friends!

I'm stuck!

Addie is a bit disturbed that Charlie is looking at the magazine sideways and tearing the pages all at the same time.  A second after this was taken, Addie started in on Charlie, "no, no Charlie..."

I love this...

Adeline continues to love gymnastics

Just hilarious....

our daughter...full of spunk!

9 Months Old

 February has been "sick" month for our little guy...a terrible cold, ear infection, bronchitis...  But, despite all of that, he amazed us by how much he smiled and how well he slept despite his sickness!  Such a trooper!

Waiting for Daddy

Daddy coming home from work is a big deal around here!  With the nature of Patrick's job, he can be gone anywhere from 1 night to 3 consecutive nights...the kids and I always love it when he gets home!

Addie trying to pass some time by playing the piano - This way, she can turn around and look out the front window every other second, and she is a mere few steps from the front door.

Waving to daddy as he pulls in the driveway!
