Giving this a try

I decided to give this blog thing a try. I had one years ago and did not keep up with it. This was pre-baby. My life seems to be categorized that way, pre-baby and post-baby. This is the life of a mommy (and daddy).

Anyways, I decided to try this again for two reasons: 1. My family always want cute Addie stories aad 2. I have too many status updates on Face Book and also want to give more information in regards to my status. I don't expect this blog to be the most exciting or witty thing you'll read in a day, but I plan on writing at least once a week and it will be on any topic that I find interesting.

Today is a catch up day at our house. On Tuesdays we car pool with daddy and leave the house at 6:30 am and come home at 7:30 pm, so it is a long day for us.

Addie is currently playing and is on her second outfit of the day. The first outfit survived breakfast, but not the morning snack. Addie is starting to talk more with a new word almost every other day. Yesterday the word was "apple", Monday it was "there" , "orange", and "dog" and Sunday it was "morning". Today it is "hurry".

The transition to the toddler bed is just that "transition". At this point, Addie will wake up soon after we wake up (she used to sleep in and we had quiet mornings) and she will not go to sleep until Warren and I are getting ready for bed. So, our "baby free time" is pretty much nil. Nap time is hit and miss. It is slowly getting better and the routine is getting settled down.

I am planning on continuing my work on organizing the upstairs. I am amazed at how much junk we can accumulate in 5, almost 6 years at our current home. I have not even gotten into Warren's study and anyone who knows Warren or has seen his cubicle at work knows that will be a HUGE project. I also got a label maker and am slowly becoming addicted.

I am also working on the freezer as I realized just how much is in there. My shopping list is pretty small as we have a lot of frozen homemade meals and leftovers that need to be eaten. I also have a lot of frozen fruit, so any dessert ideas for it will be greatly appreciated.

Well that's about it. I live an exciting life.
