A Camping We Will Go!

Two and a half, going on 25. Addison is really coming into her own little personality. She amazes those around her daily with her level of comprehension. We're able to ask her questions and she can answer us, for the most part. Of course she isn't holding full blown conversations (in English anyway) just quite yet, but soon. She really loves to do things on her own, and everything is 'mine', 'that's mine'. Temper tantrums have really grown into full blown fits, and she even bit me hard enough to break the skin once! She was serious about not wanting to leave the park!
Jay's work schedule has changed, allowing us more much needed family time. Things haven't been so easy for the last 2 years, he and I have practically been on opposite shifts. We have felt as though we have been single parenting rather than co-parenting. It's been great these last few weeks with more time together. We even bought a camping trailer, and hope that this is going to build great lasting memories for Addison.I have wonderful memories of going camping with my grandparents to their campsite when I was younger. It's going to be a good bonding experience for us as a family. We are so excited about spending time together and doing something new!

We have spent the last two months almost, getting in touch with contractors to get estimates to have the front porch of our house replaced. We are going to start that soon. We would like to be able to list our house within the next year or so. Once the front porch is replaced, there will only be some minor interior cosmetic finishing touches to be made.

We took Addi on her first trip to see the circus last month. We went to the Zembo Shrine, which is the same circus that my parents took my brother and I to when we were younger. It is not as big as it used to be, but we had a good time. Next year, when she will sit a little bit better, we are going to take her to Barnum and Bailey.

This past weekend we went to see the Easter bunny, tonight we colored Easter eggs. We are getting ready for Easter this coming weekend. On Saturday we are going to an egg hunt, and then on Sunday we will see if the Easter Bunny brings anything for Addi and then off to MawMaw and PopPops for early dinner.
