Addie Leger (1996-Feb. 23, 2008)
Today we had to say goodbye to our beloved family pet, Addie. She had been sick for some time now but she would always "perk" up for one of us- until today. It was a difficult afternoon - especially for Bryce. She was such a good dog for our family and she welcomed in every new child we brought home- she would protect them like her own! I can vividly remember how when Bryce was about 4 yrs old he would go outside and sit beside Addie and just talk to her forever- like she understood him! Once Bryce was old enough it became his "job" to feed and water Addie. Addie LOVED to dig holes underneath our deck and Brady would love to get in the holes with her- they were buddies as well! And when she heard an ambulance she would howl just like "Snoopy" could- head thrown straight back and lips puckered out! We have so many fond memories with her. She will truly be missed!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!













Since Blake was a toddler (seems like yesterday!) I have made a "special" Valentine's party for our family. This year Phe and Pops joined us- actually Phe cooked a WONDERFUL dinner for us! Ladi Elizabeth really got into all the decorations, confetti, the candles that were lit, the roses for her and the CHOCOLATE! She had a Valentine's party at school on Friday and she loved reading all of the cards she received from her friends. I think she likes this holiday so much because it is so "girly". This afternoon when I was getting ready for our dinner she came downstairs with her heart dress on and she was wearing her "light-up" Cinderella shoes! She came into my bathroom and asked if she looked beautiful. When I looked closer at her I noticed she had put on her "play" lipstick- all over her face!!!! She was so proud and she was ready for the celebration!
