Great birthday present

Addie had her birthday present from Muddy and Guppy fulfilled today. We rode on the Autumn Express of the Wilmington & Western Railroad. First off, the weather was PERFECT! Second off, the company was wonderful- almost all of her favorite people were there- Muddy, Guppy, Onkteb, Mommy, Daddy and Ben. She did mention at various points that she wanted to sit with Aunt Kim (which was difficult since Aunt Kim wasn't with us!). Third off, it was a picture perfect day and event. Not kidding, I took 91 pictures and videos! They are uploading now. I'll post them, ok, not all of them, later on.

In the meantime, some fun things about Addie. Tonight, while donning her fishy hat from Aunt Kim's cruise last year, she decided her name was "Flounder Addie Princess." She would only answer to that. She also decided that Ben was now "Applesauce." Her imagination and creativity never cease to amaze me.

She and Daddy are building towers right now. Luckily, Daddy's on to her- and he does a protective shield now when she says "I'm going to knock it over!"

Exciting to us, the house across the street sold!! It's been for sale since BEFORE our house was for sale. Probably close to two years, actually. The new owners have been there every night and all day today working on painting, etc. So far I know there's at least a young woman who lives there, not sure if she's alone or with someone. The Bree Hodges in me baked her some pumpkin muffins tonight, which we'll deliver tomorrow when we see them over there.
