Halloween 2013-- Addison's world

Pick up

When I arrive at Lynnie's and see Samantha enjoying the backyard and then drop what she is doing and run to me with pure joy and giggles, it is priceless. I try to take as many mental pictures as possible, but I finally remembered to take an actual one.  Even though this innocent, all-in reunion is, for a certain time period, a daily occurrence, suddenly one day it has a new form.

Addison Graduates Kindergarden from Eastport Elementary School

So many fond memories... walking Addie to school down the Alley from our yellow house on Bay Ridge... afternoons with Ella and Zoe...super successful transition to elementary school despite still being exhausted at the end of a school day... and sweet sisters.

Love,
Mama

Baking at Auntie Julie and Uncle Bill's

We are so lucky to have family nearby who are so wonderful to our kids. While Mommy and Daddy had a special day and night in Annapolis sans kiddos (going to a Navy game and out with friends), Addie and Sam clearly had a marvelous time baking away at Auntie Julie and Uncle Bill's. Happy almost-Thanksgiving.
