Our Big Helper

Addison is learning to do new things every day and during her 9th month she has learned to do some very 'helpful' things.  She can now open drawers, doors (if they are open she will grab on the side/bottom and swing them shut), and cabinets (with handles) as well as pull kitchen chairs "across" the kitchen.  Granted, she does not always recognize that something is capable of being opened, but her recognition of such things increases on a daily basis.  Needless to say, we have gotten very serious about Addison-proofing items that could potentially be hazardous.


She has not only discovered the drawers, but also realized it contains clothes that can be pulled out. (January 11th)
This is just the beginning.....
 Another new thing she loves to help with is unloading the dryer after I have loaded it.  She finds great humor in pulling wet clothes onto the laundry room floor after I have placed them in the dryer.  I know that one day we will work in unison with laundry, but right now I am just pleased to have her company!

Step 1- Pull out the clothes (January 16th)

Step 2- Throw them in the floor and go back for more (a bit blurry but the end result is the same)

About Me

My photo
Our story began in 1997 during our sophomore and junior years of high school in Mineral Wells, Texas. Being the older siblings of sisters, we would occasionally have to provide transportation for the two girls, who happened to be friends. Monty and I became acquainted on one such drop off, and as they say the rest is history. Following graduation, Monty and I moved to College Station to attend Texas A&M and discover what the world had to offer. As luck would have it, our relationship continued to grow during our time in college, and Monty proposed in December 2003. Following a wonderful engagement, we were married on June 4, 2005. Following our honeymoon, we moved to San Antonio for Monty to work as a custom home builder and for me to begin my career as a CPA with a focus in audit. After three wonderful years in San Antonio, we said goodbye to all of our friends in July 2008 and made the move back to Mineral Wells where it all began for Monty to begin his own homebuilding business. We are very excited to see what the future holds and share those times with you....
