Dad the weatherman

JD and Addie measure the snow on our back deck. We measured around 9 inches of snow that had accumulated Thanksgiving week and up to now. Gosh I love living in Montana -- we are so fortunate to live in a place with all four seasons -- and winter is the best one!

Peaceful photo

I made this image a couple weeks ago while Grandma Cathy was reading a colorful nursery rhymes book to Adeline. They were cozied up by the fire in Greybull. Addie loves loves loves to read.
Next to bath time and her kitties...reading is one of her favorite things.

11-months-old

Adeline, JD and I enjoyed the fresh snow today...not too long and we'll be celebrating her first birthday!

Giving thanks

On this Thanksgiving Day I am thankful for my famiy. I am married to an amazing man who loves me and provides for me AND we have a wonderful, healthy daughter. The Lord has truly blessed me through them. I am also thankful for the food on my table, that I am able to be a stay-at-home-mom, my health, mountains, technology, freedom, our cats, clean water and time well spent with my family and friends.

Snow snow snow

Last week JD set our rain gauge on the back deck...we walked outside this weekend and found this. More than just rain...a TON of snow!

Learning Fast

This past week Adeline started feeding herself. Puffs, small pieces of bananas and sweet potatoes, those kinds of foods. It's just too cute watching her learn. I love how she experiments with picking up the food with her mouth...then her hands.

Out for a walk

JD shot this beautiful photograph of Adeline and I while out for a walk down Sagebrush Lane in Wyoming.

First Words

Grandpa John shot this video of Adeline playing recently at his house in Greybull. When you listen closely...you can hear Addie say "ball" and "kitty"

Great Aunt Linda

Adeline and my Aunt Linda share in some fun during dinner out a couple months ago in Choteau, Mont.

Site redesign

Something fresh and new for Life with Addie...a site redesign. I've been thinking about it for a couple weeks and after I put Adeline down for bed tonight I whipped this out. Hope you like it as much as I do.
