Planting for spring
Andrew has been hard at work planting the past few weekends! And Henry’s been enjoying his role as helper :)
Addie is a little young to plant but she’ll be ready to play in the grass before we know it!
Thomas the Train!!
A little bit late, but these pictures are too fun not to post! Andrew, Henry, Addie, Aunt Katherine and I had a blast at the Thomas the Train festival in Grapevine, TX a few weeks ago. Thomas is one of Henry’s most favorite things these days and so getting to see and ride on the “real” Thomas was a very big deal for him!
Big thanks to Katherine for the train and shirt for Henry… definitely made the day complete to have her with us!

We loved spending a whole week with Great GrandDad and Great GrandMom, Roger and Joanna, from New Hampshire! They are so incredibly kind and we just love having them around. We had lots and lots of wonderful meals together, built a birdhouse, planted a garden and much more. We miss them already and can’t wait to visit them for Great GrandDad’s 80th birthday this summer!

Addie’s baptism, Christ is Risen!
Adelaide Marie Van Kirk
Baptized Easter morning, 6am; April 8th, 2012
Episcopal Church of the Ascension
Getting a hug from Aunt Katherine before the service began
Andrew baptizing Addie
Sweet godparents Jill and Ryan Hudson flew in for the special day from North Carolina
The Cox side of the family + Mother Kai and Jill and Ryan
The whole wonderful group of supporters
Andrew’s side of the family… including his grandparents who came in from New Hampshire
Love them
Addie was baptized in my dress and a new bonnet that will double as a handkerchief for her wedding day
Just a few treasures that Addie wore or had with her: Henry’s socks and bib, a new bonnet from Joanna, a shell necklace from Deacon Sue, a pearl necklace from Wyatt and Caroline and a pearl bracelet from Nannie
Addie was baptized with the same silver shell as Henry, given her first communion wine with a silver spoon from Roger and Joanna, and was given her very own Book of Common prayer by Jill and Ryan
Addie’s first Bible from Fred and Natalie and an ornament from Beau and Megan to remember the special day
We love you Adelaide!

Some of the best men I know…
Yep, I’m keeping these guys around :)
Andrew, Henry, Taylor and Beau
Happy 3 month birthday Addie!
It’s hard to believe our baby girl came into the world three months ago today. It seems like she’s always been a part of our family!
Addie slept 12 hours last night and she’s all smiles these days… Three months is certainly a fun time in our house :)
Almost spring!
It’s decided. Being outside as much as possible is the only way to survive an almost 2 year old :)
