35 Months

Ada is a joy and delight and will be turning 3  in a couple weeks! She currently enjoys (and does well) playing games on Todd’s iPad, hunting for stuffed animals with all the lights off and using only a flashlight to find them, and playing with her wooden train set. She often says “I have a good idea” which is cute to hear and accurate a lot of the time :)

We had a snow day last week! Todd stayed home for a few hours in the morning to play with Ada. We built a snowgirl, threw snowballs, and pulled each other on the sled. It was beautiful while it lasted, which was only a couple days.

Eagles

A little over a week ago we drove up the mountain in hopes to see lots of bald eagles. We heard they gather in large groups this time of year because of the salmon. We did see a few, but not many close-up. Across the river in one spot there were at least 20 in the trees, but only specks to our eyes. We will try this area again soon!

Christmas Tree

We got our Christmas tree with our neighbor friends during the second weekend in December. We have a favorite spot about 4 miles from our houses and it’s always fun trying to find the “perfect” trees.

34 Months

Ada has a couple cute phrases she began saying this month. “I have a throat in my tummy”-translation: not feeling good, sore throat, or excuse for misbehaving. My drip drippers are going down and down” or ‘'my eyes are dripping”-translation: crying :)

We celebrated an early Christmas with Todd’s family over the Thanksgiving break. The cousins had a lot of fun playing and goofing off together during our visit.

Halloween

We tried something new this year and trick or treated through old town Fairhaven. It was fun, but crowded! Ada enjoyed the candy and became more brave at each passing candy giver. We also got one more year out of her Super Girl costume and a few action shots to go with it. Afterwards we headed back to Everson to our church’s Noah Nite for dinner & games with our friends.
