welcome back sweet andie ann derson!

We all LOVE this dog.  She is Lexi's best friend.  Lexi loves on her and plays with her non-stop.  When Andie was missing a piece of our family was missing.  Our hearts were saddened thinking she may have been forever lost.  When Lexi and I first saw her at the shelter this morning our hearts skipped a beat and we both had huge smiles and happiness come over us.  On our way home Lexi said, "I missed you Andie Ann.  You are such a good dog!"  This afternoon we took Andie to get a fresh hair cut and Lexi and I picked out treats, a new toy, and bones for Andie.  We love you, Andie Ann Derson!!

bathtub fun!

i heart this face

Have I ever mentioned HOW much I love this little face??  Well, I do.  More than anyone could ever imagine.

this week

This week has been a little crazy.  Our house received a major facelift and we love it!  While the painters were painting though, our sweet Andie Ann got out.  She was gone for 2 days.  We posted signs, but didn't receive any calls.  Last night, Jason and I looked on the animal shelter website and we found Andie's picture!  Lexi and I went to the shelter (Lexi calls it the animal zoo) today and thankfully picked up Andie.  We are so happy to have her back home with us where she belongs!

corn on the cob

Lexi is the funniest corn on the cob eater ever!  She loves it and her big chomping and tiny nibbling make me laugh.  I don't like hearing people eat, but the sound of Lexi eating corn on the cob truly brings a smile to my face.  Love this little bunny!

swim lessons

Lexi has been in private swim lessons at Lifetime for 6 weeks. Lexi LOVES her teacher at Lifetime, but we just weren't seeing much progress. Jason and I had been researching other programs when my friend, Michelle told me about the class Addie is taking. Jason and I watched a video of Addie swimming and we were sold. The class is only 10 minutes a day/4 times a week. Yesterday was Lexi's first day. At first, she didn't know what to think and when she figured it out, she screamed and cried for me to get her out of the pool. Today before swim class Lexi came up with every excuse why she couldn't go...tummy ache, headache, boo boo on her foot, you name it, she said it. BUT, today at swim class Lexi did great! No tears, no screaming, all determination! I am so incredibly proud of her. I had happy tears in my eyes for most of her lesson. Thank you, Michelle for telling me about this program. Lexi is going to be a little mermaid just like Addie soon!! Since the girls did so well today we took them for ice cream after their lessons (Addie's lesson is right after Lexi's. We get to be each other's cheerleaders!).

directions

Lexi and I were talking yesterday and I said I needed to look up directions because I didn't know how to get where we were going.  Lexi said, "Just listen to the radio.  When he says "turn left," turn left and when he says "turn right," turn right.  Then you will get there!"  Think I use the GPS much?!?
