What's been happening

First off, this is me and the one that want's to be nana's only baby. She came down with the flu and was good enough to share it with my husband and I. This was Thursday night and somehow, we managed to not get it until Saturday night, thank God, because the baby shower was on Saturday.

Here is Addison, resting compfortably, what a beautiful baby.



We had her shower on Saturday, holy man, what a load of gifts she received, how fortunate. The shower was a success. Karen helped tremendously.







This is the diaper cake I made, thanks DH for the idea. The first picture is the finished product. I put a precious moments A at the top, bought a miniature tea cup, saucer and teapot set at the dollar store and put it on, some bathtub toys and scrapbooking stuff on it. My husband actually helped in assembling. 4 hands are needed for assembly of all the diapers.











Lastly, yesterday the grandaughter came over and wanted to build a snowman. The first is the one I helped to make and I call the second one a Newfie snowman. My husband (The Newfoundlander) makes snowmen by putting snow in a bucket, like you would build a sand castle. I have never heard of this, we always rolled ours into balls. The coal I used is from my grandparents house, God Love em, they've been gone for more than 8 years now, but this is something I have for a memory. Don't know why, but I do.
Also, notice the snow still in our yard. And this after continuous melting for about 5 days now.
Take care all.

The baby's name is so absolutely cute. I love that name. The snowmen are great. It is like 70 degrees here almost 80. I don't think I would still want the snow around. Hopefully it will melt fast and soon. Take care with the flu. YUCK!!

Addison is so cute! Did Mom get the idea from Grey's Anatomy?

The Boy likes the idea of a baby brother or sister, but I'm sure if he ever actually got one, it'd be a different story!

Your diaper cake looks a lot better than mine.

DH, I would have to say Grey's Anatomy is where the idea came from for sure, she love's that show. I have heard it's good but have never watched it.
