Addison at 6

I can't believe it's been 6 years since the twins were born. It all happened in a blink of an eye. We miss our Allie so very much it still hurts every day that passes to not have her here with us. Nothing we can do about it, except move on and enjoy every single day with the ones we love and make the most of what time we have with one another.

Some of our family gathered together at her grave site. I love that we have our tradition of sending her love notes on balloons to Heaven.

Addison is such a fun spirited child. She's all sorts of sassy, sweet & shy. She doesn't like to interact with new people. She smiles this funny way when she doesn't want to be smiling. She hides when she gets into trouble (usually under a table or chair), if she's crying and Benton says to her "You better turn that cry into a smile"...she always giggles. She never falls asleep in the car. She talks non-stop. Her and Cambree sleep in the same twin every night even though they both have their own beds. She loves to copy letters from things around her so my passwords have ended up written out on big pieces of paper. She still loves to be carried like a baby after her bath. She cries when you brush her hair. She loves to be tickled, she will hold up her hand, arm, legs or shirt where she wants you to "title" her. We love who she is and can't wait to see what she will become.

Her c's and k's are t's. So when she speaks it's still adorable. Example: school is "tool", cat is "tat", car is "tar", kitty is "titty". However she is getting tested to go into speech therapy to help her.

We loved celebrating our girls on their birthday! 6 is going to be a good year!
