Sometimes it seems like everyone is always busy! But, this week is definitely one of those weeks that stands out from the rest for me. We have a lot on our plates right now but one exciting thing is that Beth & DD are getting married in less than three days!! We're so excited for them. Adeline is going to be one of the flower girls and I'm sure she'll do a great job because there are few people she loves more than Auntie Beth & Uncle DD. If you would, pray that the Lord would give them a sunny, rain free day. They chose their photographer because of his skill in taking pictures downtown so the wedding party is all geared up to spend the day downtown taking pictures the day of the wedding!
Although vacation already seems like a thing of the distant past I know my family would love to see the pictures still! So, here goes:
As you can see I didn't pack enough stuff:
do I look relaxed yet?
Addy had a rough time the last leg of the trip but that made sleeping in the pack & play a dream. She literally passed out as soon as she hit the very hard mattress.
As it turns out we have a little fish on our hands. My mom tells me that I wasn't overly fond of the swimming pool but as it turns out she not only doesn't look like me she also doesn't share my childhood phobias.

playing with mommy
swimming with auntie shannon
Now
this is the life!
She even got into watersports! Here she is playing volleyball:
and going down the slide with Daddy
and with Ajai!
Our little man even got into the water a few times.
Uh... what are we doing?
swimming/sleeping with daddy.
Addy just
adored Ajai on the trip and even learned how to say his name! I think that spending time with him helped her verbal skills. She came home saying "Ajai" and "Uh-Oh" pretty clearly. As it turns out they both learned how to be impersonators.
Here's Ajai impersonating Adeline:
And Adeline impersonating....
Elvis!
But the trip was good for them. They ended up becoming little buddies thanks to Ajai's kindness.
And they both loved watching the Elmo movie we brought along:
John Michael didn't seem to mind the hot weather at all. He was either busy smiling and cooing...
Or snoozing and snoring....
Johnny & I had a great time while we were there and so did the kiddos. Adapting back to life after a vacation has been interesting though! No more sugar cereals to snack on and a bit stricter nap times. Not that she got spoiled or anything...
See? Here she is enjoying some healthy snacks! (those are made with
real cheese, by the way)
Well, I'll do Disney pictures in another post - this one is plenty long! Meanwhile I'll close with a few more pictures of the fam.
