Family Pictures

A couple weeks ago we had family pictures done. We know some friends who have a photography company and they gave us a great price. The bad thing is that it was about a million degrees when we did them so we didn't last very long. And Adelaide was being fussy most of the time so we didn't get a lot of pictures that involved her smiling. And she smiles all the time so it was very tragic! But nonetheless they turned out great! If anyone needs pictures done for pretty much any occasion I suggest Erni Family Photography!!!

This of course isn't all of them, but most of them. (:
Michael has been gone since the 30th of June, which has been just awful! I miss him terribly! He has been in California for annual training with the Marine Corp. I am so excited for him to come home this friday!!!!!!!! I really appreciate everything that he does for me and for Adelaide. I have realized more so in the past couple of weeks what a great provider and a great Father he is! We never thought he would be the patient one in the relationship, but that's kinda how it turned out. He is so patient with Adelaide and I miss that so much. I have had bad days with her and its just nice when he comes home and takes her and she immediately calms down. Everyday I would look forward to him coming home for lunch and then for dinner. I think the hardest thing has been sleeping alone! Who knew!? The last time he had AT for two weeks we were engaged so we weren't living or sleeping together. And man its stinky when for over a year I have had someone to share my nights with and then suddenly I don't. I probably sound so sappy but I miss him like crazy! He needs to come home!! So I am planning a little surprise for him when he does. :D
Also, when he gets home we have Family Day with the Marine Corp that same weekend. I am so excited because 1. I get to see Ethan Nadeau and his family ( I used to nanny Ethan), and 2. I get to see and interact with the people that Michael interacts with at his Unit. I like to see how the military works and what not, it makes me feel like I can be a small part in something Michael decided to do years before he met me. So that should be fun!
Adelaide has been growing up so fast! She has been smiling so much! She is such a happy baby! I love her so much! I remembered the other day that before I found out that she was a girl I had a dream that were were going to have a girl. In the dream we went to get an ultrasound and they said it was a girl and then the nurses said that they had a new software that could show us what she would look like in the future. So they printed out pictures that looked like ultrasounds and but Adelaide was much older! Like 4 months, and then 6 months and then 1 year. Well the way she looks now and how she looked in my dream. In my dream I looked at Michael and I said, " she looks exactly like you and she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!" It was truly amazing to have that dream! I am so blessed to have her! She has already started changing so much! She has started to grab at the little rings I have on her carseat! Hopefully this weekend I can buy her a little play mat.
Until next time folks,
