In May we were able to move into Madison into a wonderful (new-to-us) house! We had fun doing lots of updates to the house such as refinishing the wood floors, tiling the kitchen and master bath, and thanks to Aunt Pam the house was freshly painted and totally re-carpeted. We love living in town! Thanks Aunt Pam :^)
This fall, Addy started 3 year old preschool at The Dupont Baptist Church. She is learning all of her letters, numbers and letter sounds. She is amazing us every day with all that she is learning. Mrs. Dempler is doing a wonderful job with her. I can't believe she's getting so big already!
One of Lincoln's favorite things to do is hide from Mommy and Daddy. One of his favorite spots is in our pantry. There have been many times where Lincoln has gone missing, but now we know where to look first! In this picture he thought he was hiding really well, but as you can see the kitchen counter did not provide good cover...
Do you recognize this little girl? Addy got these funny glasses from her preschool teacher Mrs. Dempler. She thought they were great. She kept telling us that she was Beastley from the Care Bears because he wears this disguise in one of her movies.
Lincoln picked out his own costume this year for Halloween. He was much more excited about looking at it than wearing it. The monkey hat did not last very long!
Addy also picked her own costume this year. She was pretty pumped about being flower and I think she was the cutest little flower I've ever seen. Addy was also very impressed with all of the candy that she received while Trick-or-Treating!
This fall Grandpa Sheets started his own business. Can you tell who the business was named after? Addison and Lincoln are very proud to be a part of Grandpa's business venture. They think Daddy's work van is pretty cool too!
We had many Christmas celebrations to attend this year and we all had a great time. This was the first year that both of the kids really got into the process. Lincoln had a great reaction to all of his presents and he really wanted to give each present the attention that it deserved. In the picture above, Lincoln is very excited about his new farm animals!
This year Addison was amazed with all of the presents. She loved all of her gifts, but she really loved tearing into all of the wrapping. She moved very quickly through her presents and then played with everything at the end. In this picture, Addy just opened a Dora phone from Uncle Zach and Aunt Chela.
Addy woke up on Christmas morning and came down the stairs to find lots of stuff in front of the Christmas tree. She promptly came into our room to wake us up. "Mommy what is all that stuff out there? I think Santa might have come because the brownie is gone!"
Lincoln also really enjoyed Addy's dollhouse that Santa brought much to Stephen's dismay!
At mamaw's house Addy opened up lots of presents. In this picture Addy is opening up a Barbie Car with 2 Barbie's. She won't let these Barbie's play in her dollhouse because they have bathing suits on. They are only allowed at the beach according to Miss Addy!
The weekend after Christmas, we packed up and headed north to Middlebury Indiana to visit with Stephen's extended family. In this picture Lincoln is fighting with Great-Grandpa Oscar for his cane. Lincoln thought this was hilarious!That's all for the updates right now. Over the next several weeks there should be lots of information to share. Baby Sheets #3 is due in about 9 weeks, so we will keep you posted. Take Care!
