Today we're celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary...where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was just consumed with the details of our wedding, and now we're consumed with something new! We're also having fun getting ready for Mike and Tara's wedding! I can't believe my baby brother is getting married! The best part is that I'm gaining the coolest, sweetest, most sincere sister in law ever...I'm so excited. And she keeps me posted on all the latest celebrity gossip, whenever we have a question about what goes on in tinsel town, we know who to ask! Yesterday we went to Tara's bridal shower, and Addison wore a party dress for the occasion. She was a good girl, she slept, ate and sucked on my cousin Joanna's shoulder (sorry for the hickeys, Joanna!) which relieved me because I'm still feeling badly about the meltdown she had at Cousin Morgan's bridal shower a couple weeks ago. This was her third bridal shower, so she's a pro now!
Last night Chris and I dared to do what new parents dread...leaving Addison for the first time. We went to Jak's for our anniversary dinner, and left Addison with the two Grandmas, and cousin Kayla. We were nervous because she was tired and fussy when we left, and as we walked out the door Chris said "Maybe we should just run to Taco Bell and call it a night?" But we ventured forward, putting our trust in our moms who raised 5 kids between the two of them, so they can handle a screaming child for 2 hours, right? As we sat eating our yummy steak dinners, we wondered if she was screaming and if they were calling 911. We restrained ourselves from calling to check in, knowing that we would sound quite pathetic! When we pulled into the driveway, my bet was they got her to sleep but then she woke up and screamed the rest of the time. Chris' bet was she screamed the whole time. When we opened the door, there she was, sitting on my mom's lap while they bounced on the big ball, hand stuffed in her mouth, watching Olivia Newton John singing "Hopelessly Devoted to You!" It was like we hadn't even left. Whew! Only 2 meltdowns, one they attributed to gas! Good job, Grandmas! (and Kayla!)
We now know that we can leave for an occasional dinner, and know that Addison will survive.

I bet you had a good time with Cousin Kayla and Grandmas, Addison.... I know how Mommy and Daddy felt when they left though.... I was the same way when I left my baby boy for the first time 37 years ago... Be good for Mommy & Daddy today!
Love,
Marilyn
Addison, thank you so much for coming to my bridal shower yesterday. You just get cuter and cuter everytime I see you. I am excited to be your Auntie. I am looking forward to spending lots of time with you and your big cousin Kayla! Love you Addison!
