And Now a Word from Our Sponsor...


Labor Day Weekend 2010

This past weekend Miss Nadia and I headed north to Quantico, VA to spend time with Brandon (he's taking a course for the next few weeks at the Marine Corps Base there). It was beautiful weather!


Miss Nadia was happy to see her Daddy. We spent lots of time outdoors enjoying the cooler weather and the sun.





We sat by the fountain, threw in a penny and made a wish!

10 seconds with Miss N

Miss N is showing her ironic side. She was perfectly happy not crawling (at least not the "real" crawl), not rolling over and not causing Mommy worry. But as soon as Gramma leaves it's time to let it rip. Gramma was kind enough to give her the Exersaucer she loves as her video attests:



Leave it to Miss N to wait until Gramma left before unveiling her crawling skills, rolling over from back to front (no more quick bathroom breaks while she waits on the bed :-( AND she is practicing how to sit! I was NOT prepared for a trifecta of accomplishments in less than a week. My little girl is growing too fast--soon she won't need me to carry her and I will be so sad until I realize how much easier shopping will be.

Tonight the Adams girls will be waiting for Hurricane Earl to pass so we can happily go on our road trip tomorrow!
