Adeline and Tag

Once again, nothing too exciting for us. Abe didn't have to go to school today since it was Veteran's Day, so that was nice to have the day together. It's freezing cold here now, and I'm sure in the next week we will probably have snow! That will be a change for us after living in Cali for three years. One GREAT thing about here is that gas is only $1.89/gal right now. It's so nice!!

Adeline has been as cute as ever lately. She seems older to me every day. She is learning a new word every day, which is kind of fun. As I was taking a video of her in the bath tonight (you can see below), I asked her to say cheese and she said "cheese". I didn't even know she could say it. In the past several days her favorite word is "NO!" Unfortunately she says it all the time. To Chloe, to me & to Abe. I told Chloe to get off the couch tonight, pointed at her and sad no. Afterwards Adeline turned to Chloe, pointed her finger at her and said "NO!" What a little mimic. Here are some cute pictures of her:



Here are a couple cute videos in the last couple of days.....

Cats and Dogs

Nothing has been too exciting with us the past week. Abe is just working hard at school everyday and Adeline and I are finding things to fill our days. Adeline's new thing is grabbing our finger and saying "go"! Then she directs us to where she wants to go. 99% of the time, that is to the door to go outside. That girl would live outside if she could. Since we have had 60-70 degree weather, we have spent a lot of time outside. The weather is starting to turn though :(

Everyday Adeline takes me to our neighbors house to see their cat and bird. Luckily our neighbors are wonderful and love the company. I can't believe how much Adeline loves cats. She is so gentle with them and would love one of her own.... but the problem is that we don't like cats as much as her!

Of course Adeline loves Chloe....they are best friends
