Growing greater: It's been a while...

It's been a while since I've updated the blog. As usual, we've been busy, busy, busy. John and I attended the Outdoor Classroom Expo the week before last. Mom kept Addison for us. We had the best time! It was like a mini vacation since we both enjoy being outside and learning! We hiked in the woods and in the creek. We made vermi-compost bins and toad abodes, and more. The food was catered and our hotel room was nice. So much fun! Thanks, Mom, for keeping Addi! Last weekend, we took Addison to Jon Daniel's birthday party. She had a ball! She played with Jon Daniel and Thomas and ran around (as it poured down rain!). John left for Camp Cosby on Wednesday, so Addi and I were by ourselves for 2 nights and 3 days. Any time John is gone, I miss him more than I can express. Addi missed him, too. In fact, on Thurs. morning, she hid behind her rocking chair and cried, "I want my daddy!" We made it through and managed to get everyone fed and ready each day. The house was a wreck, but we all survived! Today, Grandma, Grandpa, Jett, and Dartmouth came over and babysat Addison so John and I could go to school and get some work done. We've been gone so much lately that we are swamped at school. Not a fun way to spend a Saturday, but it had to be done. Addison had lots of fun with her cousins and grandparents! Now, she is sound asleep!
