A long overdue post

These parade girls say it all...Wyoming in sparkly pretty letters

We spent the July 4th holiday with JD's family in Wyoming. The stay was extra special because the Anglins (sans Aunt Gail) were visiting from Indiana. It was their first time meeting Adeline. And oh what fun we had. Yes I know, there are no photos of fireworks but you must realize how much self-control it took for me not to photograph Addie with a sparkler...Well enjoy a couple highlight photos from the weekend back in July.

Adeline and her second-cousin Madeline have a stare down in the kitchen over who gets cherry dessert first...

Adeline with her second-cousins Libby and Laura.

Swimming with Grandma Cathy.

Surrounded by Libby, Aunt Tephie and Dad.

Adeline's first shrimp boil with Uncle Tim and Sam.
(This is a Kunkel/Anglin tradition for sure)

Underwater with Laura!

Adeline gets a Fourth of July greeting from a very large and tall "Uncle Sam" at the Cody Parade.

Flashback photo

This photo was taken back on July 6th in Yellowstone.
It was a monumental occasion because over the July 4th weekend Adeline -- with the help of her Aunt Tephie, Grandma and second-cousins -- learned how to sit up by herself. This photo captures the first time JD and I watched as she sat by herself.

A visit from Uncle Tom

Adeline got a surprise visit from my brother Tom this last week. Here we are in Missoula enjoying his visit from Vermont. Also pictured is my parent's dog Rhett -- who by the way doesn't seem to like Addie so much...he's realized she gets more attention from grandma and grandpa than he does!

Happy 1st Birthday Lil' Denny

Caderyn, left, and Adeline helped little Denny, center, celebrate his first birthday a couple weeks ago. Denny's parents threw a lovely party up in Lincoln. Addie even won a present (the pink pony in her hand) in the fishing pond.

100th post

Oh our sweet baby girl Adeline Grace.
We thank the Lord every day for you.

Flashback photo

This peaceful image of Adeline and I was taken by JD back in April....wow she has grown SO much already!

Playtime with kitty

With no brothers, sisters or daycare comrades Adeline must resort to our cats for playmates. The unfortunate side however...Ziggy popped the toy with his claws the next day.

Cousin Michael

This image cracks me up.
A shy Michael and a curious Adeline.
