3 Months Old

We're in a bit of a crisis situation here at the Lilly Pad considering that we can not find our camera. However, our blog is in need of an update so I'm using pictures that I took with my phone on our trip to KY. They are actually a very appropriate depiction of the trip from Adelyn's perspective. But more on that later.

The exciting news at our house right now is that Adelyn is 3 months old and sleeping through the night on a regular basis. She usually sleeps anywhere from 6 - 8 hrs. at night. It is so wonderful! She is also full of smiles and funny faces. Maybe once we find our camera I'll be able to take some pictures to show you...

So our trip to KY...I think it will be best to just hit the highlights and what we'll call the "Snafus" of our trip.

~ Spending time with family & friends & introducing them to Adelyn.
~ Celebrating Christmas with Matt's family.
~ Matt got to go to a UK game.
~ Adelyn slept for 10 hrs. one night at Chris & Ashley's! (I told them we were moving in!!! Luckily for them the temperature the next morning was 1 degree & I really prefer temperatures in the double digits).

- Realizing at 11:30 pm the night before we were leaving that our winter coats were at my mom & dad's (35 minutes south of us).

- Attempting to go in 2 different directions...Matt had the car keys, I had the car.

- Catching a bread stick on fire in Chris & Ashley's oven. I kind of forgot to tell them about this. Fortunately the only thing harmed in this incident was the bread stick.

- Listening to Adelyn cry all the way from Atlanta to Orlando. It took 11 hours and 15 minutes. This includes a 1.5 hr. stop in Valdosta because we just couldn't take it anymore. A few days later getting into the backseat still made me want to cry.

We really did have a great time & enjoyed getting to see everyone but learn from our mistake & FLY! That is the only way we'll travel with a child who is unable to verbally communicate with words ever again.

Her crying face reminds me of Taylor's crying face which then made me want to cry ;).

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9

10 years

Today Matt & I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary! Part of me can hardly believe that it's already been 10 years. I can still remember so many details of that time in our lives. The joy and excitement of the wedding and anticipation for the future. And another part of me knows that 10 years is not that long at all. We've only just begun!   We did not get any digital images from our wedding photographer (it was a different time back in 2003) but a friend took these and gave them to me.   One of my favorite parts of our ceremony was that we signed a covenant. Matt & I signed first and then both of our family's came up and signed. It was a really special part of our ceremony.         I am so thankful for these past 10 years with my best friend! When Matt & I met at a mutual friend's house 12 years ago I never could have imagined all that God had planned. But through it all - the victories and...

AdeG & KK

AdeG & KK: Partners in Crime     They love each other so much!     They can make each other laugh just by breathing...   When Adelyn gets her picture taken...   ...Caiden thinks he needs to have his picture taken.   This is how everyone walks their dog...right?     AdeG & KK - I love you!     Btw...   "AdeG" is a silly nickname for Adelyn that came about from a question like this - "What would my name be if you spelled it a-d-e-g?"   Whenever we do call her AdeG she laughs and says "my name's not AdeG!"    "KK" is what Caiden says when you ask him to say his name. :)
