My Sweet Adaline

So here is my precious four year old. Some may know her as Adavine. :)

Adaline has grown so much this year. Her and Aiden are quite the pair.

One of Addie's favorite things this summer was to take her lunch out for a picnic. Most of the time she runs off to play and no lunch gets eaten.

And of course Aiden and her play in perfect harmony at all times. :) I think she even told Aiden to go away.

Adaline has started preschool this year and simply loves everything about it. She loves her teacher Mrs. Miller, her new friends and the school work she does everyday.

I don't think Addie has ever met a stranger. She loves people. Very social girl, just like her daddy.

Aiden naps while Addie is at school. So other than dropping her off and picking her up, he doesn't miss her.

This is Adaline's room. A few months ago I painted this tree and placed raised 3D flowers on the tree.

I also put a few ladybugs on the tree.

Adaline has also started dance this fall. She takes classes every week. She loves being in Miss Chantel's class. They will be Mary Poppins for Recital.

Addie talks about the friend's she meets every where she goes.

This is Mooch, Addie's school pet. They bring him home certain weekends and get to write a story of the things they do together. Mooch happened to be with us on our Fall Break, thus he went with us to the beach.

This was parent night at dance. Matt was able to sit in and watch class.

My pretty girl: Not only is she growing in beauty but also in character. I love hearing her pray. She is so thoughtful and caring. I want to teach her about God's beauty and love.

Some facts about Adaline: She is not afraid of anything Matt or Corbin tell her to do. Such as hold a snake. She loves and expresses emotion with pure abandon. She can cry at the drop of a hat. She sleeps with her Hello Kitty that she got for her birthday this year. She loves to sleep in a nest of blankets. She is my late sleeper and is very hard to get out of bed. Miss Addie does not eat breakfast very often. Her favorite food at dinner is salad and veggies. In fact she would rather eat that than most of the entrees. She adores her brothers and wants to be included in anything Matt does. She is very affectionate and kisses and hugs frequently. She is very verbal and tells us what she is thinking all the time. She has a song for every occasion and makes up most of them. This is my sweet, precious, dramatic little girlie girl and I love her fiercely.
