Honey Time

Today's post featuring guest blogger, Honey!

Addison and I enjoyed a long weekend while Marcy and Clay flew off to South Carolina. Marcy had a fun holiday planned for us:

Wednesday:

Our adventure began with a hair cut (complete with glitter and perfume). The beauty shop played pop music. Addison loves music and did a little “shoulder dance” under the hairdresser’s cape!

Thursday:

Next, we went and had Halloween pics taken (2nd annual trip for us!). Our little princess enjoyed the attention – but really isn’t in to sitting still for long.

Then we were off to the mall (AND more importantly the MALL PARK!) Addison started getting excited as we rounded the corner – she knew where we were going (did I mention how smart she is?).

Friday:

We started off Friday with Gymnastics! It was Addison’s first try. Addison was a bit concerned that I was going to leave her there (like at school). When she realized that Honey was staying, she joined right in. She sat in the circle and listened to the gym instructor intently. She enjoyed the songs and liked climbing. She especially liked walking on the balance beam and hanging from the rings. She is quite strong and can hang all by herself!

After naps … Friday continued with the theme of FUN! We were off to the pumpkin patch (where we stayed for over an hour – playing, riding in the wagon, and making new friends).

Supper found us at Chuck E Cheese!!! Most fun was watching the “show” up front (music video and Chuck E Cheese dancing). She enjoyed riding the little cars.

Saturday:

Saturday was the Lubbock Komen Walk for the Cure. Addison and I were up early Saturday morning to join in. It was such an emotional experience. Addison danced during the warm-up and found many fans for her talent. We walked the mile with such a large group of excited supporters and survivors. I walked to honor my friends D’Anne and Rita.

The morning was cold, but inspiring. Our dear friend Ashley Hamm made sure that ALL of Lubbock was PINK for the weekend.

Saturday afternoon we spent a few hours at the Science Spectrum. Addison loves to go to discover, touch, and meet new friends.

Sunday:

Addison and I were determined to finish up our “To Do” list. We got up Sunday morning and attended the Erwin’s church home. We attended the contemporary service (Addison loves the music).

Afterwards we headed home to clean up for Clay and Marcy’s homecoming. Everyone was SO EXCITED to see eachother. I headed home for a week of work without my favorite grandblessing. What keeps me going is knowing that a month will not go by without seeing our favorite little girl.

 

Amen and Pass the Butter,

How lucky we are!
