This last Monday (April 27, 2009), we celebrated our little baby's birthday. However, I suppose I can't call her a baby any more! She is now 2 years old! She was born at 5:30 p.m after about 5 hours of labor and 20 minutes of pushing. Not too bad for the first, right? She was a beautiful big baby coming out weighing 8.6 lbs and 21 1/2 inches long and lots of black hair! We were just so happy to finally have her, she was as beautiful as we had hoped and imagined! She is just as beautiful today! We took her for her 2 year check up and she is weighing almost 29 lbs now and 36 inches tall! I'm glad she didn't get the short gene from me!
Happy Birthday to you Addie. We love you so much!

Happy Birthday to you!

Was Adeline ever excited to see all that food! The only annoying thing with that is that she is bringing us her food all day and making us eat it with her! Yum!
Um....crazy for cake are we!?? Girl is a pig!
I attempted to make a candyland based cake for her birthday.....lets just say it didn't quite turn out the way I would have liked!
The proud parents of such a big girl!

Our little girl turned 2!

Adeline's Gram (Jake's mom) bought Adeline this cute little spring dress! She couldn't wait to wear it to church! Thanks Grams!

Awww, I love my hubby

Spring Flood of 2009

The other day, we finally were able to see the river for ourselves! For many weeks, most of the bridges here were closed due to flooding. They finally opened the bridge near our house, so we thought we would venture out to see. We couldn't believe the amount of land that was submerged in water! What a swollen river, and to think that these pictures were taken when the water has receded a lot! I can't imagine what this area looked like when it was much deeper!

This little marker is there to show how deep previous floods have gotten in this area. Notice all the trees in the water! This marker is normally not even close to being in the water....it's something that is supposed to be way off shore!

This area is where I used to go run in the summer mornings! Can you see the stairs and railings peeking up from the water!??
