New word!

So I was cleaning up after dinner and Addison came running in with her favorite book, "Bill Grogans Goat", pointed to it and said "book?" I was so excited. She kept repeating it over and over again like she was so proud of herself.

Another thing she did this evening while Uriah was out running an errand was bring me all of the pictures she could reach in our living room. She only brought the ones with her dad in them. She pointed to his nose and pointed to her nose. Then she gave the picture a big kiss. It was soo sweet. Finally, she brought me a picture from our wedding. It was one of Uriah and his dad, (we call him Pappy). He just got done spending a week and a half with us. She kept pointing to her Pappy and saying more, more. I am going to call him tonight and tell him. He will be so happy.

The worst blogger ever!

Okay, so I did not keep up with this thing like I meant to. I guess I have some catching up to do.


About Addison:

Addison is now 20 mo. old. She is saying a few words: mama, dada, nana, this, no, more, uh-oh and I think she said "what's that?" this morning. She is running around everywhere and loves her building blocks. Addison's nap schedule has gone from two naps each day to one in the afternoon. She seemed to adjust well to this. The other day I came into her room in the morning to find her leg flung up over the side of her crib. It is time to upgrade to a big girl bed! Addison loves to give kisses and hugs. She also loves to cuddle. She is such a sweet little girl with a beautiful and outgoing personality. We are so proud of her.

Uriah and I:

We moved to Holly Springs in February and got a great deal on our home. It is sort of a fixer-upper, but it has alot of potential. We have done all the major upgrades we can do right now, but it is coming along... slowly. Since my last posting I also was blessed with a job working at WakeMed in Cary. I moniter people's heart rhythms and watch for arrhythmias. I am definitely learning a lot about the heart and I know it will help me in nursing school (which I am starting in 5 days... so nervous). I also just finished up a nutrition class this summer and it was very interesting. Uriah still works at Meld and he loves it. I am so proud of how hard he works and he never complains. He really loves the people he works with too, which makes life a little more enjoyable in a working environment.

When we first arrived in Holly Springs, I was feeling very lonely. I have always been a city girl and here I am living out in the country. That is, until the Lord totally answered my prayers. We met Laura and Zack Hanlon! We are starting a small group with them in Holly Springs and are so excited! The best thing is that Laura has a little girl around Addison's age. Her name is Ellie and they love each other! Yesterday, Laura and I and the girls took a trip to the library during story time and today we went to Java Divine to hear Stacy Clearman sing. It was great fun, but Addison was a little taken back by all the loud music.

I feel so blessed to have found a friend my age with a daughter around Addison's age. Now, I feel that there is a reason we are here in Holly Springs. I am praying that our small group would grow and that we would be able to reach people in this area for Christ.
