Another Playmate
March
The kids have enjoyed having another person to play with, most of the time.
Brennen got mad one evening, and tore apart a little pillow, that had tons of little white foam balls in it. We spent most of the night and the rest of the week vacuuming them up.
Addie acquired her own Lear jet. She had fun jet setting with her big brother and sister to the different exotic destinations around our home.

Leg Warmers
March
Remember these? We all had them in the '80's. They are my Favorite "baby item" this time around. Addie's knees were getting so chewed up crawling around on them, that I had to do something. The answer was leg warmers! They are Perfect for baby girls to crawl around in!!

My ever creative little boy.

In one of our teams classrooms, we have a ping pong table. We'll Brennen wanted one for home, so he made one of his own. He used up the very last of his duck tape that he got for his birthday to make the paddles. He even let Ash play with him. They had fun.

Much has Happened since January.
February 2010
One of the most significant things that is happened in our lives since January, is the Factory closing. The "Factory", as we called it, has been a huge part of our life here in Nampa. It is the reason WHY we live in Nampa.
I have a lot of memories that are centered around the Factory. Taking lunch to dad in the summer, riding our bikes or roller skating around the workroom, sleeping in the office when we were to sick to go to school, cleaning out storage units (i hated this one, because of all the creapies and crawlies- have I ever mentioned that I really hate mice!!!!-), and many, many more wonderful memories. We even lived there for 3 1/2 months while our house was being built, when I was 14. One year, I even took my students on a fieldtrip to the factory, (we had been down the road at another parents work place) and dad gracesously showed the kids how mattress are made.
I hope that my kids have some memories of the Factory too, but I'm afraid that they are to young.
I have never seen the Factory gutted before. It has always been full of innersprings, boxsprings, buildup tables, sewing tables, the gluestation, pad, quilt, foam, and at times rolls of cotton. It made me want to cry.
It just goes to show, that the economy we live in is constantly changing... That the consumers as a whole want bigger, and "better" for cheaper, and for the cost of living in the U.S., we can not continue to manufacture any goods here for us to be profitable. Thus in slaving our country to others, and putting our trust and relying on others that maynot be so kind or forgiving in the future.
There I feel better now!

Adelaide @ SIX months
With Addie probably being our last baby, I don't want her to get any bigger. I want her to stay in each stage forever. But she keeps growing!!!
She has so much personality, and the way she gazes at everything, you know synopsis's are firing and burning everything to memory.
The first thing everyone says when they see her, is what a SMILEY baby she is.
Because Paul and my work schedules over lap by 1/2 hour, Paul drops Brenn and Addie off to me about 10 minutes before school's over. Everyone wants to hold Addie!!! "Uncle Stuart" (my boss) being at the top of the list. Several honorary grandparents and "uncles" have pictures of her in their classrooms and offices.
It's funny.
She just has one of those spirits that draws you in.
I hope it lasts.
Sweet Potatoes: Pricless
The doctors wanted Addie to wait and eat solid food until she was 6 months. This was because they couldn't explain why she was projectile vomiting, and figure by 6 months things would settle down. So, on Sunday Adelaide had her first taste of "solid" food.
