Happy Birthday Daddy!

Since Derek kind of guessed what the boys and I had selected and purchased as his birthday present, we decided to throw him a curve ball and make him think he got something else. We sent him on a scavenger hunt to find his gift. It was fun for everyone. Here are some of the pictures of the hunt...and of his present...a new Fender acoustic guitar. Ever since Hatcher got his for Christmas, Derek has played with it as much as Hatcher. This is the first time I have gotten Derek a present that he just can't put down. All night tonight he has been tuning it and watching the "how to play - instructional video."
Happy Birthday Derek! We love you!

Congratulations Roxie and Jim...baby James Hilton Adams arrives!

Derek's sister Roxie and her husband Jim welcomed their first baby, a beautiful son, into the world on January 8, 2009. The delivery went really well for Roxie and the family is home recovering and trying to find a routine...of some kind. All are happy and healthy and getting sleep when they can. We hope to visit soon, but until then, you can see the photos below or visit their blog site. (http://www.theadams3.blogspot.com/)

Congratulations you all. Hatcher and Aidan can't wait to meet their newest cousin!

Happy New Year

Hello everyone! I know I have been really slack since the holiday in keeping photos posted to the site. Well, to be honest, I haven't taken many. Derek has been traveling a ton for work and leaves again soon for Maine, yes 19 degrees below zero - Maine! Meanwhile, although I did get my cast off, I lost a lot of mobility in my wrist and had to start physical therapy sooner than expected. I go in twice a week for an hour and have "homework" exercises that cut into my evenings and lunches. That said, I do have a few photos I can share. The boys love Hatcher's guitar and I got a great picture of Aidan walking around with it. They are playing so well together these days - HA - when they aren't fighting over the same toy. The other day Hatcher suggested Aidan sit in the mail cart so he could push Aidan around. It was too funny. They had a blast that day goofing around together. Hope you all had a wonderful New Year!
