Fall Hike

Last weekend, we intended to go on a family camping trip.  Unfortunately, a 90% chance of rain was forecasted for the entire weekend.  So, rather than camping in the rain, we ventured out to our intended campsite for an relaxing evening: a short hike and dinner over a campfire, and then went back home.  The rain started as we drove out of the campground - we were very thankful for our decision to sleep at home!

Sweet, smiley, chatty Addy is 5 months old!

She is an absolute delight.  Little Addison brings so much joy to our lives.
We are so thankful this social, extrovert baby has 9 older siblings eager to pour on lots of attention.  Addy is most happy when receiving attention, smiling and babbling in response.  We are all enjoying this precious babe.
