Addison is Two!

I can't believe that our little girl is two! She had a great party, and we are so thankful for all of the friends and family members who came to help us celebrate. Thank you so much to everyone who came and to those who thought about Addison on her special day! She had been talking about her Pablo party and her Pablo cake for weeks, so when she finally saw everything, she was very excited!



Nana made her a Pablo cake.


She was so excited to see her Backyardigan's decorations.


"I'm ready for the party!"

Waiting for the cake


Nate was able to watch everything while he is in Turkey via the webcam.


She did a great job blowing out the candles.






On birthdays, my family always takes a bite out of their cake after they blow out the candles. Addison is catching on to the tradition very quickly!






"This cake is delicious!"




"I'm not sharing, Dinah!"






"I wonder what is in this one?"




A Pablo card!


"Look, daddy, a shirt and playdough!"


A Pablo blanket!


"WOW! What a pretty dress!"


Bubbles and chalk!


Showing Daddy her presents




"I finally got my bike and 'hat'!"




It's pinata time!

North Dakota

I haven't been taking many pictures lately, but here are a few from the last couple weeks. Addison and I are in North Dakota right now visiting while I'm on spring break from teaching. Look for more pictures this weekend...I'm sure we will have many, because Addison turns 2 on Saturday!!

Deployment Time Is Here Again

Nathan left for his deployment on the 26th of February. He will be gone for about 4 1/2 months. Right now, he is stationed in Turkey. I hear it can get pretty lonely and boring at times, so I'm sure he would love to hear from friends in family. His email address is nate_heath@hotmail.com and his mailing address is:

Capt. Nathan Heath
385th AEG/817 EAS
PSC 94 Box 1500
APO AE 09824



Running around the airport terminal


"I'm not sure I want you to leave, daddy."




Walking daddy to the plane


"Bye, bye, mommy! I'm going with daddy!"


One more hug...


...and just one more kiss
