The Winwards

The one thing I've been enjoying, of late, is the joy that Addie has in the simple things. It gives you a whole new perspective on life. For example, we went to the Hogle Zoo (Addie and I got to spend a week with my family) and the absolute amazement she had while we were there was so fun to watch! Every animal she was overjoyed to see and riding on the train was a dream come true. There is nothing more fullfilling in life than to see that kind of joy in your child's face. The same goes whenever we go on walks. She finds the littlest things (today it was a colored BB pellet) and thinks she struck gold! It makes life fun!

Here we are being elephants. Addie does the best impression. Of course she is showing the elephant her impression.

I hope all the father's had a great day today. Especially my own amazing father and to my husband who couldn't do a better job being a father. Here's a video of Addie & her Daddy. It's not a video of love, but the most recent of those two together.

The past few saturdays have been beautiful which means some fun outside time. We've been going to our farmers market, which I love. It's fun to be around the mixture of people that Missoula has to offer. We've also gone golfing, swimming, and have done lots of walks . Where we are living we have a few farms around and Addison loves animals. She gets her dose of horses, sheep, and ducks. And we've been spending a lot of time at our house that is under construction. Addison and Justin can throw rocks for hours. And it's even more fun that we have a canal in our backyard to throw rocks into. With the business getting busier it makes me look forward to the weekends so Addie and I can hang out with Justin.

Making messes gets exhausting!

This is the spider story. Most of Addie's stories involve spiders (she likes spiderman) and trains. And no she has never been bitten by a spider. A duck ate out of her hand one time and after that everything bites.
