Family Fun

Addy is still working on learning to identify her letters but can write quite a few. If I tell her what letters to write and she's seen me do it, then she can do it too! Here are her first two real words (besides her name)!Precious!
Oddly enough our tomatoes are growing quite a bit despite having the garden totally neglected! Addy loves going and picking the tomatoes! YUM!
Have you ever noticed that I have tons of pics of the kids and hardly any of all of us or of Jared and I with the kids? Well I am still working on doing better in this aspect!


This past Friday we went to the park and had a picnic! The kids had a blast grabbing a bite between sliding and running around!
Addy even did the curvy balance beam and made it the whole way by herself!
Seeing as I had almost 5 weeks of barely moving off the couch.... I found that the wooden kitchen that I have been eyeing for 2 years went on sale for half off and free shipping! My initial intention was to take an old entertainment system and turn it into a super cute kitchen but now with this long surgical process and another surgery in the next year, that just didn't seem feasible. So I splurged and bought the on sale kitchen! Both kids played with the other one quite a bit so I knew it would be a good investment! It even fit perfectly in the giant castle in our living room!
We went to a water party at another adoptive families house and the girls had a good time on the tire swing. They were singing very loudly!
Today we were going to find something fun to do but opted to swing by the farmers market and decided it was too hot! So we went to the coffee shop in the nice air conditioning. Addy LovES coffee (or at least what she thinks is real coffee). So we shared a DECAF campfire mocha cooler! YUM!
And I thought JT should have a special mommy and Ty trip too. So this evening after dinner, Ji'Robert and I headed to DQ for a yummy treat! He was adorable with his ice cream... and his remaining mess!

Oh, and we re-cut his hair shorter! We cut it last week but not short enough so we redid it tonight!
Its been a good weekend so far! We'll see what tomorrow brings!
