Kit's Busiest Week

 

from our garden

 

Yum...one of my favorite treats to make.

 

Addy with her duck

 

Apprehensive at the splash park in Mundelein

 

A little bit less nervous

 

The farthest she got away from me. It lasted about two minutes before she came running back.

 

Playing with the soccer ball outside

 

So excited to have visitors!

 

For those of you who haven't indulged yet: Chicago-style pizza. Buttery crust with toppings underneath, then cheese, then sauce.

At story time on Friday--check out those piggy tails!

 

A Chicago-dog and a one-time exception to my no-red-meat pledge. It was okay. 

 

Reading our wedding book, since this was the first time P&B stayed over with us since we've been married!

 

Piano time with Charlie

Cutest Addy pic!

 

More garden spoils! (zucchini, cucumber, beets, tomatoes)

 

Addy loves all of these things: Ring around the rosie, Daddy, and cousins!

Just another week

 

One of Addy's favorite activities is removing all of the items from my wallet. I usually try to reserve the activity for waiting rooms or other places I have to keep her quiet.

 

Friends having a snack.

 

 

Addy LOVES noodles.

 

Story time with Grandma

 

Addy's new thing is putting her stroller up on the futon.

 

We are working on happy brushing time...still a work in progress

Friends running together--we are so happy for toddler friends who moved in the ward!

Surprisingly not-hot week in July

 

Trying to get a shot of Addy's cute outfit--her shirt ties in the front. We are outside of Costco waiting for it to open Monday morning.

 

Filling out the autism screener at Addy's 18-month appointment--passed with flying colors

 

waiting waiting waiting at the Dr. I kept having to chase her away from the area where the sick kids play. 

 

sigh. Be still my heart.

 

Great shot of her legendary eyes. Her pediatrician is a big fan.

 

Enjoying the beautiful beach of Lake Michigan. 

 

Beautiful evening

 

Contemplating the little carrots from our garden

 

Zucchini boats with toasted breadcrumbs on top. This ginormous zucchini is courtesy of our garden.

 

Our green bean plants are ridiculous. We can barely keep up with the production. We get a handful of about 40 every five days or so.

 

Queen of the table.

 

Before and after. This $150 table has been good to us, but I am excited to have a table top that actually has a decent finish on it.

 

Eating on floor, sans table.

 

 

It's like Addy knew her 18-month appointment was supposed to have milestones. "Up" is clearly her first word and she uses it correctly (and often). She also
