This was not a brilliant idea from the Ro Family. If I haven't told you yet, we are suckers for puppies. We already have a great family dog named Boo. She came to our family when Jenna was born. When Jenna was about 2 years old, we decided to look at puppies. We ended up with an addition to our family named Pumpkin. She was a total cutie, but riled up Boo so much that we ended up giving her to our good friends, The Stanfords. Now, when we visit the Stanford's, we get to see our old puppy! Stay tuned for future developments on dogs. (We end up making the same mistake twice!!)
Addison started soccer when she was 3 yrs old in Oldham County. She played for the YMCA and had a blast. She was pretty good too. Rob decided that all his years of playing soccer would pay off better if he were the coach, so he did! Coach Rob had lots of fun and so did the kids. I loved bringing the Jenna to soccer and watching the games. Hopefully we'll get back into soccer this year. The girls, (or at least Addison) really miss it!!
My girls love to dress up. I've always let my girls dress themselves as long as we are not going somewhere special. They are so cute and I believe that gave them some well needed independence. The last picture was of Addison in preschool. They dressed up as clowns. I loved Once Upon A Preschool in La Grange, KY. Our friend, Miss Christine ran the preschool out of her basement. Lots of church members took their kids there although there were a few neighbors as well. Preschool really helped out Addison with her boredom. She has always been very smart at an early age, so she would get bored easily at home with me and her sister.
These are pictures of our two Dad's. They are such great men. They both care about us immensely and love to visit. We live closer to my dad(the bottom picture) and so we see him the most. It's always nice to have Sunday dinners together as a family. We wish the Ro family (my in-laws) would move closer to us so we can see them more often.
Here are the girls, Addison and Jenna, in 2005. Addison was 3 1/2 and Jenna was 2. I forget how cute and sweet they were... those times were difficult with the two of them being only 18 mos apart. Looking back, I really wish I would have savored those times instead of wishing for them to grow up. Take a lesson from me- they DO grow up fast.
Here are some of our family's photos throughout the years. I will try to update new photos soon. (We need to take some first...) Busy lives with both parents working and three little kiddos around to take care of! Hope you enjoy watching our family grow as I post an outline of the kids growing up until now.
