This is Addie... affectionately called Addie Lou, Addie Lucy, or Addie Loohoo. (Her middle name is not Lucy, for the record.) There's always been a special something between the two of us. She's the only eight year old I will carry on a 20 minute phone convo with and never know how much time has passed. She is an athlete - basketball, soccer - an all-around superstar. She is kind and smart and funny. She started calling me "Lala" as soon as she could talk and is forbidden to ever stop. I am so grateful that I have the privilege of seeing this girl grow up. (just not too fast, please!)
This is Nolan... the most outrageous character you'll ever meet. He was four at our rehearsal dinner and, after the speeches, asked for the mic and sang an entire High School Musical song for a room of 85 people. Fearless. He is sweet and affectionate... still a cuddle bug even at six years old. His most recent one liner involved a conversation about what the new wrestling class he is signed up for would entail.
"I can wear a shirt, right? I don't want my pom-poms to show!"
They are one of the best parts about going home. We love these sweet kiddos with all our might.
Thankful,
Lauren
