Big Addie

When Travis and Amber were first married, Amber worked with the young women at church. One of those young women was this amazing girl named Addie. Not only is she beautiful, bubbily, nice, and insanly smart, but she's just this amazingly good girl too. (And who better to name one of our kids after, than her!) She bonded with our little family and has stayed in contact ever since.

This is Addie, Amber, & Kennedy at Kennedy's blessing (2002)

Now Addie has served a mission and is getting ready to graduate from BYU and is looking at grad schools. One of those grad schools just so happened to be in AZ, so we were blessed to have her come and visit us for a bit. The kids LOVED her immediatly. Even Addie (who takes forever to warm up to others) seemed to know instanly that this was her special buddy, and went running up to her right away. With 2 Addie's running around she became know as "Big Addie".

She was only able to stay with us 2 days-but we are all so thankful that we were able to spend time with her. Trav and Amber chatted away with Addie into the wee hours of the night. It didn't seem to have any affect on her interviewing skills because she was accepted to the AZ school. Too bad it's not her number one choice. We would love to have Addie around more.
We all love "big Addie" and will thankfully adopt her into our family!
