Our Weekend

We had a great weekend in Childress, but man it was exhausting. 

We drove in late on Friday night and got into town around midnight.  Usually we just sneak Addie back into the crib at Granny’s house and she goes right back to sleep, well not this time.  She had a hard time sleeping on the road this time and when we rolled into town she didn’t like the fact she wasn’t in her bed in her room.  We tried everything to get her to go to sleep but nothing worked so we were going to let her cry it out.  Well, that seemed liked a good plan until her screams of desperation changed to an evil little laugh behind our legs.  Little stinker climbed out the crib for the first time.  After some additional baby proofing around the crib and little more playing she finally went down around 2 in the morning.  She was up for the day at 6:30 in the morning.  Seriously!?!?!?  Addie and I got out of the house so someone could get some rest, we picked up some donuts and headed to the park to watch the ducks.  She went ALL day with just a short little 30 minute nap and another late bedtime.  The next day was a bit better but still tiring.  When we headed out of town to come home she was fast asleep within 2 minutes of the drive and thankfully slept soundly for the next 4 hours.

Despite the lack of sleep we had a great time with the family.

Addie loved spending time with her Granny.

She got to spend some quality time with Aunt Gracie.  How sweet is the picture of her cuddling with Gracie below.  Love it.

We had some typical west Texas winds which were perfect for flying a kite.  Addie started out slowly with her daddy.

Then she went solo for a little bit, she is starting to get the hang of it……

She is quickly taking it higher…

AND HIGHER…not bad for an 18 month old

We got the girls in their Halloween outfits.   How cute is our little lady bug, Kendall.

The Seal boys and their girls. I am pretty sure this was the 100th picture we took in this pose and we finally got everyone to look at the camera and even a couple of smiles (including the boys)
