Growing greater: Tonight is the night...

Well, tonight is the night that I get to go pick up John from the airport. I'm so excited! I haven't had a chance to update the blog in a few days so here goes...

Wednesday: Addison and I had a nice day at home! We watered the garden and ate strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries while we watered. (Actually, she ate... I watered). Then, we played in her little pool. It was fun just being at home together.

Thursday: We went to the pool with Ashley (Addison's 2nd mom who has kept her since she was 3 months old) and her kids (Mary Kyle, Connor, and Jeppa). We had a wonderful time, and Addi was worn out when we got in the car.

Friday: another relaxing morning at home. We read books and played in her sand and water table. At 2:00, Addi had a hearing test at the Hear Center. She did well for the first 30 minutes but then really started losing interest. So, we'll have to try it again in a month. The audiologist did say that she's pretty sure that Addi's hearing in her right ear is "normal." We thank the Lord for that! Tonight, I get to pick up John at 11:00 or so at the airport. Mary and David (John's parents) are going to spend the night and stay with Addi while I'm gone. Addison's asleep now, but she sure enjoyed reading books with her Grandma and Paw Paw. She's into "story telling" right now. She loves to help me tell the story of the Three Little Pigs. She especially loves the violent parts and yells "house down!" after the part about huffing and puffing. She loves to mix up her stories and will throw in a "not I, goose" (from the Little Red Hen) in the middle of the story. She also enjoys helping me do the "Hickory Dickory Dock" rhyme. She is too funny! This morning (I was dying my gray hair), Addison saw my pink "turbin" and said she wanted one, too. I found another turby twist turbin and put it on her head. She loved it and kept smiling at herself in the mirror. I took some pictures using the timer.
