Another Dancing Video...

At Aunt Jessica's request here is another dancing video of Miss Addy Shea. Erik taught her the "lift" from Dirty Dancing.. and here she is practicing it :) She is too funny!

Addy is a SUPER-STAR :)

First I would like to apologize for the shaking of the camera and loud laughing on my part in the video. I was laughing so hard it was hard for me to keep the camera steady. I think Addison is ready for her debut on Dancing with the Stars :) I have NO idea where she learned her new move - but I think its hilarious.

Just a couple pictures as of late...

Addy Shea now tries to dress herself. YES that is big girl underwear over her outfit. I am PROUD to say that Addison wore big girl underwear ALL weekend (not just as a fashion statement) and only had one minor accident. We are well on our way to being potty trained!!! Way to go Addison!!

Avery just turned 5 months this week. Such a happy little camper! This was before work on Tuesday.

Hope this find everyone doing well!!

Jessica & Michael are moving!!!

You can follow their blog at the link above. We wish them all the best and might have to pack up the kiddos and pay Aunt Jessica, Uncle Mike & Kitty Beef (their cat) a visit to the Big Apple :)

Good Luck guys! We love you!

Halloween Preview - 2009

Could be Mr. Tumnus... could be a cute little sheep ;) You will find out next month! :)

Erik & his little BEAR fans

To say Erik is a Chicago sports fan is putting it mildly. My husband is a HUGE Cubs, Bulls, Illini & Bears fan (anyone who has seen our basement can attest to this). He jokes that the girls are not allowed to wear any other team shirts besides Chicago teams - because he wants them to grow up Chicago fans. The EXCEPTION to this is Colorado State. Apparently the girls are allowed to wear the green & gold and support their Mom's University (thanks so much Erik). Needless to say with a lot of our family living in Illinois, the girls are supplied with many cute Chicago team outfits.

My wonderful family.

B-E-A-R-S!

Sorry this one is a little blurry - but look how cute my ladies are :)

Addy found an orange necklace somewhere, and kept asking me for a blue one to match her outfit. The poor kid hit her face on the coffee table Friday night - and got that little owie on her lip. :( Its almost 100% better!
Here is Avery telling us - she might be a Bears fan, but she will NOT support that BIG whiner Jay Cuttler that the Bears like to call their QB. Atta girl Turduckin!

Goodbye Dinner

Well on a sad note part of my family moved back to Dubai for another year overseas. We had a dinner last week to say goodbye to them and wish them well. Addison ADORES Jack & Tate. I love that she can actually interact with them, and they want to play with her and pick her up all the time.

Jack & Addison. Jack will be 6 at the end of October. He is super cute, and growing like a weed!! He just started Kindergarten!
Here is Addy with Aunt Tate. Tate turned 7 this past June and is such a sweetheart! Addison thinks she is fabulous (as you can tell from the picture). Tate is now in 2nd grade.

Super Model JP. I cannot believe how grown up my baby brother looks here!

The family @ Champps. Addison LOVES her Uncle Craig, and carries a picture of him in her purse. Its too cute!! If you ask Addy where her Pop-Pop is.. she will tell you "Pop-Pop is in Bye" (she is trying to say Dubai).

Addy & her Nana.

We miss you guys already! Glad you made it back safe!
