copy cat

These days Addy isn't so much into copying us--it's more having us copy her.

I can't tell you how many times a day I hear "Come on!" and see her beckoning me over to her. Sometimes it's to play a toy with her, and sometimes it's to do weird stuff like lay flat on our backs together on the floor. Funny kid.

fact

If you decide to just "get up and go" shopping mid-morning of Black Friday without showering or getting ready, you will run into at least 10 people you know. It's a fact.

Hope your Thanksgiving was happy and your Friday black!

movember

Once again it's Movember, the month-long mustache-growing event that raises awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that afflict men. Doug's grown a mustache for the month, and every time someone asks him, "What's with the creepy stash?" he can direct them to movember.com and encourage them to make a donation.

 As many of you know, my dad is battling prostate cancer. So as much as I hate my husband having a mustache (especially on our anniversary... ugh), I have to admit I'm really touched that he and the other Mo Bros are happy to participate and tell everyone how they can help kick cancer in the face.

My brother-in-law Ben has set up a donation page for his Mo team. If you're able, please go there to learn more or to make a donation.

 Go the Mo!

high five

This morning just before we got up for the day, Doug rolled over and said, "High five for 5 years."

5 jobs,
4 countries,
3 races,
2 universities,
1.5 baby girls,
& only 1 trip to the ER.

High five indeed. Happy anniversary, babe.

We're having a girl!

our little weirdo

The other morning Addy came to me with a new trick... stretching out her smile with her fingers.

My first thought was, "Where does she get this stuff?!" and then my next thought was, "Let's get on PhotoBooth. Stat."

Yeah, I'm in my robe. So sue me.

After a morning photo shoot, she wanted to show Doug her trick when he got home later.

By the end, she was just sitting back and watching us make idiots of ourselves. Man, we love that girl.
