best news of the summer is....

Baby Rose #2 due in April some time...they'll be 22 months apart...PERFECT! I'm so happy I've finally finished losing the weight this summer to go right back to maternity clothes ;) I'm halfway joking..we are SO excited!

Last few days!!

This will be my last post from Indiana!! HOORAY! Chris only has 5 installs to get in the next few days and then we're hitting the road for a LONG trip home. Hopefully it will be by Wednesday so we can leave that night. We didn't get the goal we had thought we'd get this summer..but we're settling for the next best one:) It has been a great learning experience and we've met so many awesome people and made lots of friends. I had tons more fun this summer with getting to know the wives and all the fun things we've done than last. (It helps when you're not sick in bed in the apt all summer) :) Addy has also made many friends and it will be sad to not see them each day. Now we get to go home to lots of cousins for her to play with! A few of the things I'll miss:
- Living in the same building with friends to hang out with each day
- Beach!
- 45 minutes from Chicago
- Fireflies at night!

A few things I'm so excited to get back to:
- Family
- NO HUMIDITY
- All of our stuff!..ex; a fully stocked kitchen
- A regular schedule for our family
- our lifelong friends
- to see chris in something other than an APX shirt and to be done with this job for good!

I would post pictures of beautiful Indiana, but I'm down at the clubhouse..I'll post some when we get back home. Thanks girls for all the fun memories!

the past week..

Addison with Daddy before he goes to work.

My Dad got a trip out to Lafayette, IN this week and lucky for us my mom came with him and they were able to stay a day here and see Addy.


It was also my Dad's birthday on Wednesday, so my mom and I made him a "Lionhouse Oatmeal Cake." Happy Birthday Dad!!

This past week I also gave Addy her first pigtails in the back of her head..I LOVE them! I think they make her look a lot older.


some of her favorite things to do:
crawl in the shoe closet..sit in the back.. and go through them all and throw them out into the living room.

sit in her carseat...BUT only if it's sitting in the living room and not in the car.

play in boxes, bins, cupboards...

Tyson! I don't know what we're going to do without her little best-friend. She didn't see him for about a week when they had family in town and when they saw each other after they got back they got so excited and chased each other around for an hour. Tyson has started giving her kisses, So Cute!

Addy blowing kisses and waving to Daddy before he goes to work.

Go Yankees!!!

Saturday we had one of the best days ever!! We learned after last year that we need to just pick a day and go do something that we're not able to do back home. So we fulfilled one of Chris's lifelong dreams of going to a Yankee's game! They were in town this past weekend playing the White Sox. Sadly they lost..14-4, but it was so much fun!!! Addy did great, and it was so fun to have a weekend together..especially after their long week in Fort Wayne, where the guys stayed in a hotel for a few days.
