Addison loves, loves, loves her baths. Can you tell. This is the second time that she's fallen asleep during a bath. When we decide to go the chemo route they told us no baths for as long as she had the PICC line in. Well I knew we had to come up with someway for her to have baths. Ever since the day she was born she's loved them. In the hospital she was screaming away. That is until Ryan started washing her hair and she didn't make a sound. We knew there was some magic in that hair washing. So with so many unpleasant and painful experiences she's had to endure I wasn't about to take away something that she enjoyed so much. After trying a few things we came up with wrapping her arm in Press N Seal. You know the kitchen wrap stuff. We seal the ends off with paper tape and don't fill the bath up. We just let it run the whole time and she stays elevated on her sponge.
Even hair washing didn't wake her up.

On Saturday my friend Kim and I headed up the peninsula to Fish Creek. We had a great lunch of black bean burgers at the White Gull in. The weather was nice and sunny. So much so that they May Flies were out everywhere on the shore. Yuck.
Kim sporting a sequined ensemble! She's going to be one Hot grandma someday.Kim told me this building use to be across the lake. During on winter they chopped it up in three sections and pulled it across the lake. Can you believe that?

And while you are in Fish Creek you must kiss a pig...

Or ride a turtle!
Isn't this little stone wall and gate charming? It reminds me of the, "Secret Garden,"There was a little cottage hiding behind it's enclosure. I'm sure they have a great view too, because we were right on the shore of Lake Michigan.

Pretty creative with hay. A tractor and trailer hauling hay made out of hay.

One draw back from all of the chemo treatments is hair loss. Yikes. I kept finding her pacifier covered with hair and then one morning this week I saw the back of her jammies were covered in hair and started investigating.

One Dr. thought we cut her hair like this. What??!! Who would do that. No this do is a result of her turning her head to the left and right repeatedly to put her self to sleep and chemo. She has effectively sheared off the top row of hair straight across.

My investigation lead me to this nice little pile of hair in her crib courtesy of chemo. I find little piles like this every morning. Anyone know where to buy some cute spring/summer hats?

My childhood friend's, Gena, aunt sent this little outfit for Addsion. I think it makes her look so girly and adorable.

This picture reminds me of a porcelain doll you'd find on QVC way over priced. And the best thing about this one is she's mine.

Addison loves a good magazine. She thumbs through the pages like a pro. Now I just have to cross my fingers that she doesn't pick up how to use a credit card as fast as she learned to scan a mag. Otherwise we could be in trouble.

I loved this little outfit too. It's so nice that the weather is turning better. We can start wearing all of our summer clothes.
