Yep. It's THAT time at our house, potty time. With a new little one on the way, due to arrive in January, I really want Little Girl potty trained so that I only have one in cloth diapers. One in cloth diapers is enough extra laundry. So here we go on the wild ride of potty training.
So far so good - not too many accidents. Little Girl does well getting everything in the potty and what with the reward of *gasp* getting to wash our hands after wards - she even tries to go to potty when she doesn't need to just so she , it's actually kinda cute. So now onto adding the under pants. Great hing is we are already at the point where she will go when she needs to, most of the time I don't know that she's gone until she comes running up to me insisting that she be able to wash her hands! It's just too cute.

Back again
Wow! I so did not realize that it has been since April since my last post. But there are reasons... there are always reasons. The main reasons being that in March I had a miscarriage at 6 6 1/2 weeks. Sad. So sad BUT God's grace over that time was AMAZING and all I can say is that He was able to bring joy and good things from that experience.
The second thing is that I am pregnant (again) and am now 15 weeks. Baby #2 due in January. I have been really nauseous and so extremely tired. Throw in an overseas missions trip at 11 weeks and BAM! You now know why i haven't had the chance to update. :)
Addison is doing well - she cracks me up and makes me smile every day! Her newest thing is counting to 2 - without prompting. Just today she walks up to me saying "one...TWO....one two... pens" Yep. She walked up and handed me 2 pens :) She is also fascinated with babies.. in real life, in books, in magazines, in pictures. I hope this bodes well for the baby that is going to be joining our family.
Sorry for the short post but I am supposed to be working ;)

new stuff
So I wanted to take a moment and document some of the 'new' things addison is doing.
Today she stipped herself of all her clothes from the waist up and the ankles down :) She has be helping me get herself undressed but this a first of her doing this all by herself.
She loves to put on mine and glenn's shoes and walk around in them.
anymore, every time we go to leave we HAVE to take her play stroller with a stuffed bear in it out the door. She will go and get it all together and park the stroller by the front door waiting for me to open it. The stroller then and bear then rides in the truch with us.
whe are are convinced that she has made up her own language... nowadys you can hear me say "use mommy's words so i know what you want" but at the same time she is a wonderful communicator!!!
she still LOVES music... in fact she asks for her music all the time.... and what is her favorite - why Robin Mark's latest CD, the Smoothe Jazz and Classical Jazz and Classical music stations. If fact when she goes to bed we MUST have her nursuy rhyme cd playing AND her musical aquariam at the same time. If she isn't quite all the way alseep when one stops - it MUST be started again :)
she likes to use wipes to 'wipe' her bunny or bear
she likes to clean!!!
such a funny girl!!!

Art Show Opening
A friend of mine has her artwork on display at Cross Keys Vineyard. Addison and I went to the show's opening today and really enjoyed the beautiful paintings done completely in....NAIL POLISH! That's right, she expresses her creativity with nail polish and the result... beautiful with a side of glitz. If you have a chance check out her website at www.ThePolishedCanvas.com

Time is going by...
Time is going by...like water in a river, never standing still, always moving. Looking the same; but not the same as it is always new water flowing by.
I feel like that is the way life is right now. Time is flowing by, a lot of days look like other days. Routines are the same. Different yet the same. Slowly change happens, but when you look back you SEE the changes that escaped you on the day to day basis.
Sometimes when I think about times of transition, I think of big life changing events. Like getting married, having a child, losing a loved one, changing jobs. But in reality, transition is happening every day. God promises that EVERY time I come into His presence, I AM changed. I am transitioned to become more like Christ. Right now I am just more aware of the transitions that God is briging about in my life. Some really obvious & some so deep that it's not always easy to 'see' or to grasp or even to explain - but it's there nontheless.
Like water in a river, seemingly the same but always new, always changing.
