Darby's Stage

I'm convinced that Darby thinks we built this deck for her. It's the perfect platform for her to perch on to "guard" the yard and even gives her a little more of an advantage when she decides to bound off to chase some random animal or object. She's going to have some adjusting to do once the railings get put up. Other than those, and for all practical purposes, Matt has bested his "albatross."

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend, despite the noisy fireworks in our neighborhood until the wee hours of the morning. We had enjoyed a great show the weekend before at our church. Addison didn't like them much at first, but eventually decided they were ok if Matt kept her ears covered.

I've been keeping busy with home health PT every Monday, and Addy gets to go play at Nana and Papa's house. I'm so thankful for family that so willingly and loving watches her. They allow me to keep up with my career that I enjoy so much. And Addison gets to explore all of their nooks and crannies for a change of pace!

Her hair really is getting long, and I think I'm ready to give in and let our hairdresser TRIM her bangs a little. Sometime in the next couple of weeks, anyway. That way she'll be able to see her family a bit better when we get to Peoria!
