Hughes House Happenings: Photo Update

Yes, we are tired... but we are so blessed. And as much as I am looking forward to getting more sleep, Holton will never be itty-bitty again. So I am so grateful for this time and just trying to savor it all. Like Mary, I'm treasuring these moments in my heart. I want to remember both of my children at their current ages - so different, yet so fun!

Adelyn is like a sponge right now. We finally have let her watch a few of the Baby Einstein videos. She loves the Noah's Ark one! I watched her watch it tonight (and she's only seen it a few times) and she knew every animal! Even the anteater, and another one I didn't even know from Africa and frankly cannot remember as I sit here typing! She is talking up a storm! Full sentences... sometimes so fast she gets tongue-tied and speaks in some foreign language! I can hardly keep up!

She loves to dance!

Cousin Tomomi, you'll recognize this outfit.

The little man actually does sleep... on average a 6 hour stretch at night now. Last week, he slept 9 hours one night... I woke up in a panic!

And he is rewarding us for all of our hard parenting work with lots of adorable smiles...

We sure do miss our Pajo (and Majee too!) after he was here to help during Brian's conference. Addy still says "We dropped off Pajo" (at the airport) all the time. Tonight as we were praying, out of the blue, she said "No Pajo not naked, Pajo has on clothes." She had me cracking up laughing! Not sure where this came from, but hopefully, yes, Pajo has on clothes!

Our church's baby dedication was Sunday, April 3. We had a whole bunch of family and friends present to celebrate this day with us. Thank you everyone who was there - it really meant so much to us!

Adorable baby gift (two onesies with French cute sayings on them) from our friends the Stringer's. This one says roughly "My little treehouse" I think! (I know, one day back when, I did speak French... but a lot of life has happened between now and then!)
