Not a whole lot has been going on around here. We've had to say goodbye to some of our good friends who either have relocated or are in the process of relocating. I'm of course not happy about these changes, but at least it gives us somewhere new to visit! Alex has been off at his yearly training for Reserves out in NV the last week and a half. He'll be back this Wed. Miss Addisyn and I have been hanging out at home. Having some fun both outdoors and in. Addi had her first bout in the pool a few weeks ago. I daresay she rather enjoyed it.
I've been working as usual. Mostly we've been trying to make the most of the little bit of time we get to spend together. Sometimes I feel guilty for working so much and worry we don't get enough time together, but for now it can't really be helped. When Alex returns, he'll be starting a new job with Time Warner Cable...hopefully that will go well!
We are setting up a blog just for Addi so that family and friends can keep up with her as she grows. She turned 9 months on June 22nd and we thought a blog would be an excellent avenue for picture/milestone sharing. We've been slacking a bit on mailing pictures out... Stay tuned for details! Miss Addi had a photo shoot on 6/23. Here's a few pics of our [not so] little girl!
In other news, I have been quite a busy little bee. Aside from working I have also taken up a new hobby in bow-making. Yes, I said bow-making. As in making hairbows by hand, from scratch. Now if you know me at all, you know I'm not the craftiest person in the world, but I'm working hard to improve my skills. I wanted to make something special for Addisyn since her head has always been a little large for the traditional baby headbands [family trait]. I thought it would be nice for her to have something unique that she could say her mama made for her. There has been quite a bit of interest in the sale my bows, so I've actually set up a little section on my Facebook page where you can view and [hopefully] purchase one of your very own! It was a bit surprising at first, but I'm happy about the warm reception the bows are receiving.
I'm hoping to eventually expand to tutus and hairbow holders and paci holders...we'll see how it goes - that may be a bit ambitious for now. My next attempt at crafting will include making a "No Soliciting" sign for our front door. Those salesmen [and ladies] are persistent little buggers.
That's all for now! We can't wait to see what adventures this summer has in store and we will let you know when Addi's blog is up and running!
