Hello family and friends,
I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year! As I am typing I am in Atlanta, GA on a work trip where I am working at the Atlanta mart Center selling our product at the giftware and home decor show. Leith and Addison are at home in OK and Addison is actually with her MeeMaw and Papa since tonight is Thursday (Brett and Carla come and get her after work on Thursday and spend the evening with her until around 9:30 or so, then we go get her). She loves to spend time with them and it gives Leith and I a night to have date night (when we have the time or energy) :)
I hope to be posting pics or a video of our house and the process that we are making on it soon. I know some people have been asking for pics to see it, but I have been bad and haven't taken pics in about a month. As far as where we are on the house...it is roofed and has one of the doors on it, they made a mistake on our front doors, so those are being fixed and the garage door should be here next week. Once the doors are on it and it is "dried in", then we can get busy started on finishing the inside and also get it bricked (poor guy who has to brick in this weather..for those of you who don't know..it was 17 degrees in OK today and Sat..the low is 0 ) I would hate to have an outside job during the winter time!
Everything is going great with us and we are loving every minute of watching our little princess grow up! She is such a big girl and amazes us every day about what she knows and the words and phrases she uses (her favorite word is actually and she uses it right!). She is so excited about going to school next year...yes, she will be 4 in May and start Pre-K in August. I tell her all the time that I am going to cry when she goes to school because that means she is a big girl and not mommy's baby anymore and she always gets so serious and says..."Mom, don't be sad..I'll still be your baby". And she is sometimes...she loves to play like she is the baby and talk in a baby voice and crawl and go limp when you pick her up (not sure what that is about), but she also fake sleeps..which is hilarious and she is really good at it. We can pull up in the driveway and open her door and she looks fast asleep...so Leith will pick her up and take her in thinking she is asleep the whole time and then all the sudden we will see a smirk and she'll open her eyes and just laugh and laugh....she is TOO FUNNY!!!! I guess she got her cute personality and sense of humor from her mom :)
Well I hope that everything is going well in your life....keep in touch!
Love,
Kristi

2010 Resolution #3
On the first day of the new year, I decided that starting a blog would be one of my many new year resolutions. I always have good intentions of keeping one updated to keep family and friends up to date on what is going on in the lives of the Steelys, but up until now, just haven't made the time. Well I hope to stick to this one and update it every week or so to let you know what is going on in our lives.
Here is what is going on now....well right at this very moment I am laying on one couch while Jimmy is laying on the connecting couch asleep and Jenny is on the other couch asleep and Leith is in the recliner awake (I think) and Addi is on the ottoman fast asleep and has been since right after the ball dropped at midnight. The boys are going duck hunting in the morning (well actually an hour) so they decided after staying up so late for New Years that they might as well stay up and not sleep, so I told them I would stay up with them to keep them awake. Well as you can see...Jimmy didn't quite make it, but Leith is still going strong!
Now, here is what has been going on lately....Leith, me and Addison have been living with Jenny and Jimmy since June because we are currently in the process of building a house on our 10 acres that was given to us by my dad when we got married. We are so excited for it to be finished, but we are enjoying living with family and getting to spend QUALITY time together! Addison has her own room while Leith and I have a room upstairs that is crammed to the gills with our stuff! We have our stuff stored here and at my parents house and fixing to be at the in-laws house as well. We are hoping to be in our house by April or so (that is my goal at least) and once we are, we will have a big house warming party and everyone is invited!
Addison is such an amazing little girl and I know I am a little biased, but she really is one of the smartest little kids ever! She is the light of mine and her daddy's life and we are so blessed to have her. We enjoy spending time with her and watching her grow into a big girl. Her personality and sense of humor just crack us up and she is always got us laughing! She is so bright and cheerful and knows how to make us smile :) I can't believe she is already 3 1/2 already...these last few years have gone by so fast. She will start Pre-K next fall and I can't belive my baby will be going to school so soon! She is looking forward to going to school and already pretends that our car is a school bus and I am her teacher. Right now she stays with my mom everyday while Leith and I work and she loves spending time with her Grammy and Papa. Gram takes her to story time at the library at least once a week and she also takes Gymnastics every Tuesday morning. She had her first gymnastics program a couple of weeks ago and she did perfect! Her favorite thing to do are the un-even bars and might I say..she is very good at them too! We might have a little olympic gymnist on our hands!
Well I hope you have enjoyed my first of many blogs and I look forward to keeping in touch with you this next year. We are expecting BIG things to happen in our family and church and I am expecting BIG things to happen for you too! Please keep in touch and let us know how you and your family are doing. We love you all so much!!!!!!!!
