Yay - Ice Cream!

Dairy Godmother in Del Ray is our go-to ice cream place.

Don't worry, we share a lot - this isn't just Addie's ice cream.

Hawk

This guy was on our fence - 10 yards from our kitchen window. Cooper's hawk? Sharp-shinned hawk? I can't figure it out.
But he was awesome!

Gammie's Birthday Party

We were able to celebrate Debbie's birthday with the Jacksons. We basically took over Mellow Mushroom. Aaron had the entire restaurant singing to Debbie, who is not used to being the center of attention. I think she secretly, way down deep somewhere, loved it.

The Wilsons - (you really can't beat the Wilsons)

Grammy's birthday in Boone

The time in Boone to celebrate A's mom's birthday was spent at a house in Blowing Rock with a big yard (a new thing for the city-girl Addie!).

No trip to Boone is complete without breakfast at Melanie's Food Fantasy. Mmm.

Addie and cousin Patrick

Birthday girls

Chocolate Cream Cake from Stick Boy. Ahh, Stick Boy - how I wish you were in DC!

Addie and John Thomas bonding over cake.

Goofball

Those are socks, not pants. Weird.

Sisters

Valentine Visit

Addie had a chance to play with her cousins Jenna and Michaela when they came for a dinner visit. The girls played a while and ended up making some sparkly crowns. They're the sweetest family, and we are always so excited when we get a chance to see them.

Nora at 7 months

Now she's sitting in a chairand eating her solids!
