so much to be thankful for!

Scott, Addison and I have so much to be thankful for this year! We have had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebrating with our families, especially since we had such exciting news to share! It’s been a hard secret to keep, but baby #2 is on the way! We’ve been to the doctor a few times already and our little one is doing great! I am 8 weeks pregnant which makes our actual due date July 7, 2010!! 

Here's the Thanksgiving card Addi gave to her grandparents last night!

And here are some pics of Addi rockin' her new “big sis” shirt. Can you tell she’s already proud??

Life is so good. We are truly blessed to have each of you in our lives and we thank you for your continued friendship and support.  We are so excited to become a family of FOUR!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love,

Scott, Erin & Addison

Can I just tell you guys how much I am NOT liking the time change??  I hate pulling into the driveway after work to a dark house.  It has really cut down on our playtime outside and especially my picture taking!  I much prefer natural light to artificial light (with a flash) but I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up, right?  How terrible is it that I've hardly posted at all during the month of November?  That's just not like me at all.  Well, I promise to do better and get that camera back out soon!

On a completely unrelated note, we took Addi to the OU game on Saturday.  She LOVED the game!!  This was her best game of the season.  We only stayed through half time (to see the band) though because it was really chilly, especially in the upper deck.  I only grabbed a jean jacket for her and she needed more layers on, so LuLu loaned her a black scarf.  Addi thought she was pretty hot stuff with that scarf around her neck.  I will definitely be buying her one soon!

The only game this year I didn't take my camera to, and this would have been the best one for pictures.  Isn't that the way it always turns out?  Well I did manage to snap a few on my phone, but obviously the quality is terrible.  Oh well, we had a great time and that's all that matters!

Check out my sweet girl rocking those 2 tails!!! She's becoming a PRO!!

She is definitely her father's daugher.  She could have eaten the entire tub of popcorn by herself if I would have let her. 

Don't you love the scarf?  She would flip it behind her neck and say, "Ah-la-la". 

LuLu saved the day with her scarf and Skittles.  I don't think we would have lasted without either one! 



say what?

More Addi-isms...this girl cracks us up!

I like this one - "I wike-a wis one"

I don't like it - "I no wike it"
I sit on Mama - "I sit the Mama"

You hold me - "I hold you"

Mama rock me (before bed) - "Mama wock you"

Lollipop - "wollypop"...thanks to Halloween, we hear this one a lot now!
 
Horsie - "wosie"...i'm sad "wissie" is gone! That was one of my favs!
 
yogurt - "ogurt"

all aboard!

Yesterday Addi got a very special treat!  LuLu and Poppy took her on a train ride!!  They drove up to Norman on Wednesday night and then took the Heartland Flyer back to Ardmore yesterday morning.  They're coming back to Norman on the train tonight.

Addi was so excited!  She kept saying, "I ride the TRAIN!!"

It was misting when we got there so I didn't get many good pictures outside like I wanted to.  Oh well, there's always next time!  I have a feeling this is going to become a frequent happening since it went so well.

Waiting at the dopot!  This was such a special occasion, Addi even wore her rainbow necklace!!

It's finally here!

I don't think she expected it to be so BIG!

Kissing daddy good-bye!

Waiting their turn...

Checking in!  This little guy was so nice and even said, "All Aboard!"

Addi loved riding the train and she keeps talking about the cows eating grass.  Isn't it funny what they remember?  What a fun and specail treat!  Thanks LuLu & Poppy!

countdown

A few weeks ago mom and I found these cute little Halloween and Thanksgiving countdown calendars at TJ Maxx.  I got the Halloween one half off (so it was only $6) and the Thanksgiving one was broken, so I got it for $9.  Mom and I both thought they needed to be jazzed up a little.  Of course, I love the Pottery Barn Kids ones, but these were a little easier on my checkbook!  I added ribbons on the sides and new day markers.  I think they turned out pretty cute and both cost me less than $20!!

Halloween Calendar

New ribbons...I just tied the ribbons around the dowel rod at the top.

I also added a new ribbon to hang it from.

Cute little owl marker

Cute Pilgram marker 

I think they turned out really cute!  Addi has loved moving the marker every day.  We got a very late start on the Halloween one (as in we started on the 30th I think).  She's really enjoyed moving the Pilgram on the Thanksgiving one though.  We talk about what's on each pocket when we move it.  What a fun tradition!

trick-or-treat!

The Roberts FOUR came over on Sunday night to go trick-or-treating. They were the cutest little girls on Halloween night!!

Group pic time!

Cutest girls!

Cheese!

O: Why is Emma crying?

A: Oh no, don't come this way Emma!

A: What?  Why is she coming this way?

A: I'm outta here!

Sweet sisters

A: She's still crying!

A: I didn't even touch her...why is she still crying?

A: Okay this is getting wierd. I didn't do anything! Am I in trouble Mama?

Tada!  Check out the beautiful balla-nina!!

Hofmann Halloween Pictures 2010!

LuLu and I decorated Addi's wagon earlier in the day so O and A could ride in style! 

Check it out!

Going to the first house!

Back in the wagon

Bye bye!  Thank you for the candy!!

This is fun!!!

Here are the girls heading up a driveway...

Addi's spider bag got so heavy, she ended up dragging it to the door.

Check out this spooky house!  There are eyes in the windows and fangs above the front door.  It looks like the house is on fire, but really it was just a fog machine.  I don't know why it showed up back.  Fun decorations!

Brave nalla-nina walking to the door right by the spooky decorations.

She even liked the witch because she gave her candy!

Back at home...

Checking out their loot...

WOW!

A: Olivia, did you get some good stuff?

O: Let me see...

O: Sure did!  Cheers!

Go-oo-ood Clark!

Isn't that the cutest little spider?  My friend Courtney gave it to Addi as a baby gift.  Pretty clever gift, huh?

I see a trip to the dentist in our future!

They also loved looking out the front door at the kids coming to trick-or-treat!

What a fun Halloween!
