Today is our official 5-year wedding anniversary!

It is so hard to believe we have already been married for 5 years. We are going out to eat tonight to celebrate, while Aunt Kari babysits Addisyn :) Today I met my mom and Kari at the mall for lunch. Addisyn was going to play on the inside play area at the mall but I scoped it out and most the kids playing in there were 5-6 years old (too big for Addisyn). We strolled the mall instead.

The 2nd weekend in July we are going to Pirate Land Family Campground at Myrtle Beach. Dave is coming too. We are camping in the pop-up (it has a/c, a mini fridge, and a sink). The campground has a water park with a lazy river and kiddie pool :)

Anyways, Keith and Brooke have been updating their blog about their new baby, David (use the link to the right to check out their blog). If you haven't heard here it is in short: At St. Elizabeth Hospital they discovered he had Imperforate anus and he would need surgery (online I was reading it happens in 1 out of 5000 births). He was sent to St. Louis Children's hospital (where he currently is). They went in to do surgery but ended up having to place a colostomy bag until he is big enough to withstand the surgery (which will likely be in November since Keith is going away for military training and Brooke is coming down here with the baby in August for like 1 1/2 months). Keith called today and said the baby has been taken off oxygen and the feeding tube and that they were actually feeding him out of a bottle today :) The baby is filling up his colostomy bag, so it is working. Hopefully if everything continues to go well the baby will be home in the next week or so. Keep little David in your prayers :)

Saturday is Addisyn's first birthday! We went to Lowes Food's bakery and Addisyn looked through the cake book. She picked out a very colorful cake- I can't wait to see it! Yesterday we went to Harris Teeter to get bottle liners and the cashier touched Addisyn's cheek and Addisyn pushed her hand away and then waved "good-bye" to the woman. It was so funny!

We will post again after her birthday party (everyone is invited- Saturday 4pm Water's Edge Pool).

Love,
Lindy, Brian, Addisyn, and Bear

Look how much she has grown over the past year!
