Addie and I had quite a day yesterday. Dan had to have his oil changed, and our routine has always been that we take both vehicles, Dan drops his off, we go for lunch, and then go pick his up. And that is exactly what we did. When we picked up Dan's vehicle, he said that he was also going to run through the car wash and wouldn't be far behind us, so Addie and I headed for home. Coming out of town there is two lanes, I was headed South in the right lane coming up on a truck that was also headed South, but he was in the left lane, slowing down to take a left turn. The lady we hit was heading North and also was going to take a left turn, but she didn't see us behind this truck so she turned. Addie and I had absolutely no time to stop the vehicle and hit her truck near the back end. She tried to step on the gas to avoid the accident, but the unfortunate happened. The speed limit there had just turned 55, so I was cruising pretty fast. Thank goodness that when Dan and I found out we were expecting we went out right away and bought a vehicle with high safety ratings for things like this. Addie and I barely felt anything upon impact, but that lady said that she was very sore. It mangled up the front end of my vehicle, but other than that everyone was okay. I thank God that no one was hurt, especially our Addie. Because it was that lady's fault I am waiting to hear back from her insurance company on my vehicle. I will also be checking on the use of the car seat. The airbags in my car did not go off, so I am wondering if I should get a new one or not. I will talk to their insurance company, but for now just use Dan's. So, kind of a drama filled day!
Later that evening we needed some R&R. I picked up Max after school so he could come out and play with Addie. We ended up having a picnic outside and playing until the sun was about to go down! And of course I took a LOT of pictures. We had so much fun. Just goes to show how precious life is and not to take any day for granted.
Our picnic outside. This is the picnic table I found at a garage sale for $10. Love when I can find this stuff. Addie sat so well on the picnic table and when she was all done she got off all by herself!
I was surprised how well Addison ate for all the distractions she had around her.
And good ol' Emma was there to pick up all the dropped pieces. Except the carrots of course!
She had a blast with eating outside. She loves going outside so much that there are times when she already throws fits if we don't take her out!
After we were done eating we played on Addie's little climber. This is actually a climber I had when I was little! It is very sturdy. I don't think they make things like that anymore! Max and Addie had a blast. I of course had to put an old blanket under it so that Addie didn't touch the grass. Such a girlie-girl. Makes me laugh!
She went down the slide...
and climbed up the slide!
We had so much fun outside last night! It reminded me of just how fast Addison is growing up. She is learning so much and keeps the surprises coming!
We even played peek-a-boo. These are my favorite pictures! Max and Addie are quite the pair. She is always thrilled to see her uncle Max and thinks he is just the coolest thing! She is such a goofball when he is around! But, Max is also quite the goofball, so she much get that from him!
Mouths open!
PEEK!
Happy Tuesday!
