Because I missed a day AND because this picture is better than any I could have taken on the 18th anyhow.

On St. Patricks night Kyle participated in St. Baldricks. He raised money for children cancer research by taking pledges and then shaving his head. Once Addison got over seeing a bald Kyle she seemed to like the feel of his head!!

Day 43 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.17.09

When the adorable child is named Ireland and he's dressed in the cutest green overalls and sequined bow tie on earth; you know he has to be your St. Patricks Day post!

Life is good.

Worst part about being out of town for so long . . . The mountain of laundry.

This picture reminds me of that scene in ET where he's hiding the the pile of stuffed animals. Don't remember it? Click HERE

The pile of stuffed animals would be much better . . . They don't wait in heaps on the couch waiting to be folded, hung and put away . . .

Day 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.14.09

Reunited with Grandma Suzy! Grandma had special jewels awaiting Addison's return home. If you can't tell in the picture, Addison was quite taken with her new accessories!

Day 39 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.13.09

All this traveling gets pretty tiring . . . but this little gal handled it beautifully!

Day 38 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.12.09

Overnight in Minneapolis before flying to Anchorage . . . Look at that tired little face! She took one great nap on the flight to Seattle!!

Received word and began the journey home this day . . . After one last singing, dancing, piano, and percussion concert.

Day 36 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.10.09

Enjoying grapes with Grandma K. Everyone who sees this says, "your Grandma looks great!" I have to agree!!

This picture was not taken on the 10th. But is more appropriate for the 10th than any of those that I DID take.

Day 35 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.9.09

Working figures with Papa Roy . . . This is serious business right here!

One of the most-loved men in America. My Grandpa is . . . EVERYTHING a good person should or want to be.

SIDE NOTE: I DID miss a picture this day. Given the circumstances, I'm okay with it; so please don't be mad!! Please??! Pretty Please? I'm just impressed I made it a month! BUT I do feel that this picture is more than appropriate for March 8th.

Day 33 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.7.09

Addison, her Great Grandmother and her Abby Cadabby doll . . . all that's missing is her Grandma Suzy!!

Addison & Tudie wasted no time and got caught up on the past seven months.

Enjoying the Suite Life

Day 29 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.3.09

A long day and the only time I went into a shop in Rochester . . . But it was a GOOD one! You could spend hours in Tangerine Gifts and never see everything!!

Day 28 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.2.09

Traveling involves a lot of eating-out. I had never noticed how many restaurants play music until this trip. Addison could not resist singing along with the music (with her own lyrics of course) and since we're still trying to teach Addison how to adjust the volume of her voice, her songs were quite loud. Luckily, most everywhere we went people seemed to enjoy the show with their dinner!

Day 27 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3-1-09

Catching a few winks in the Seattle airport.

Hints of Spring . . . in the color of the laundry, that is.

Day 23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25.09

Hanging with Uncle Kyle and her Mac 'N Cheese!

And yes, our house is ALWAYS a mess. Who wants to clean when you can read or play Little People with a one year old!!??

Day 22 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.24.09

This picture cracks me up! Simple as that.

Day 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.23.09

This a picture taken with my phone of Addison's reaction to seeing a bunny at the Post Office. The bunny actually ran right up to us (looking for food, I'm sure) and Addison was delighted. As for me, I could have used a bit more personal space between the hungry bunny and my feet!!!
