Addie is 4

June 10, 2005. 9:14 am . Addison Rene entered into our family.

I will never forget that day.

I just can't believe it was FOUR years ago...

This should have been our first clue that Addie would love to eat cake...


At 21 days Addie first experienced the lake...


Four years later she still enjoys going to the lake...


Addie loves music and dancing.

She told me the other day she wants to be a singer when she grows up.

We discovered last fall that Addie loves to listen to an ipod.

The result of the ipod listening is usually the same...

Addie loves to TALK, just like her mommy did as a little girl...

Addie is very stubborn, but also very sweet...

Addie can use the word please to her advantage...

Addie loves to tell jokes. Over and over again...

Just like Jaden, Addie has her grandparents wrapped around her finger...

Addie has always tried her hardest to do everything that Jaden does.

I have been trying to get her to jump into the pool.

The answer is always "No, I am scared I might drowned!"

And then for some reason yesterday...


I asked her later why she wanted to jump in...

"Because tomorrow I will be four. That means I will be big. Big girls are 4!"

Yes Addie Pattie...you are a big girl.

But you are still Aunt Niece's baby girl
