COMING SOON - SWIMMING LESSONS & SOCCER!

Last weekend, we headed west to attend Alaina's birthday party. Adelle was VERY excited to see Alaina, and was even more excited after she found out it was at Chuck E. Cheese! Here are some photos from the big day:

...Adelle played A LOT of fun games!...

...and she even managed to play a few games with/near the birthday girl...

...and she even had her picture taken with the star of the show (the stationary plastic Chuck...not the one walking around...she was terrified of him...

Adelle loves Alaina, and before we left she said "this was the best birthday party EVER!" ...

What has Adelle been up to lately, you ask? Well, here we are with an update to satisfy your rampant curiosity!

...First, she helped Mommy do some baking...

...Then, she's been playing a lot. Outside. In January. In Iowa. We've had some pretty crazy-nice (i.e. warm) weather lately, and here are some pictures of her outside exploits...

...Adelle practicing her dad's favorite game - soccer!...

...Then she got out some more balls, and a plastic putter. If nothing else, she's quite creative! )" alt=")" class="middle" width="15" height="15" /> ...
