Addison Lou, Pretty in Pink!

Addison Lou at 18 months!

Oh my, how this little girl has grown!

In such a short time, she has captured our hearts and brought us so much joy!

To celebrate her 18 month old mark and because Grandma or (Namma) as she calls me, found her this cute dress!

And as a gift to her Mommy, my daughter Katie, to celebrate her 22nd birthday on May 1st we had these pictures taken.

Her mom likes to dress her a little more trendy and funky!

Namma likes more traditional.

Either way I think she wears it well!

Two peas in a pod!

Honestly, Addison is a mini-me of my daughter in so many ways!

They look so much alike (although Adi got her Dad's brown eyes)

And their personalities are so very similar!

As I've told my daughter, "I've had a lot of practice raising a little one like Addison"

In other words, she is as lively and active as her Mommy was.

Because look at her here!

Minus her frilly dress, in her overalls chasing the domestic bunnies that have taken up residence in our yard.

And boy oh boy is this little gal quick!

Just not quite quick enough to catch those crazy rabbits! 

hehe.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TODAY AND REMEMBER THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

A Whimsical Cottage Farm Tour.

I have to say, I was not expecting this as we drove home from my niece's graduation party on Sunday.  We had traveled East to Green Bay and on the way home we took a slightly different route.

When lo and behold, I saw all these wonderful outbuildings that were covered with whimsical garden decor.

 Everything you could think of and everywhere you looked!

And while I was racing around like one of these handsome fellows with their heads lopped off, hubby was being a very patient fellow!
Although I think he enjoyed it too!

But he was in charge of watching this little gal while I shopped, and she was raring to go!
Just look at her eyes .. she was as enthralled by everything as her Grandma was!   And there was no way I was going to get her to look at the camera, too much fun stuff to take in all around her!   How about the cute little out-house I had them pose in front of!

There were paths of goodies just everywhere.

How about those colorful hanging bottles?

All leading up to this cute cottage gift shop.

That was filled to the brim with  room after room of good stuff!

And this barn covered with metal art.

Don't ya just love this?

And inside room after room of more goodies.....

But then I kind of gave up on the picture taking for awhile!

And headed back outside for a quick little look because the troops were getting restless and ready to hit the road.

However I had no doubt that I could have probably spent all day here wandering around!

And I am going to  have to head back one day soon!

Today is my son Joshua's Birthday!  It seems not very long ago when he was my baby, now he has a baby of his own!
Have a great week everyone!
