We're Expanding!....And an Update

We are officially announcing that we are expanding our family! Now before you get too excited, we are not planning on adding anymore kiddos into the mix for awhile. However, we decided to adopt a feline companion :) Yes that is right, we recently added a little kitten into the Snell Clan. We picked him up Friday from the local Humane Society and Addison is smitten. He is a great little kitten (he is 12 weeks) and has adapted well into our crazy household. So far the dogs have done great with him, other than constantly following him around and sniffing him. They act like they are such tough little dogs, yet everytime he turns to try to play with them they run the other direction. He is a very cute and cuddly little guy, he puts up with Addison well. She tries to be gentle and does well for the most part, but sometime she squeezes him a little TOO much. Here are a few pictures of our newest addition, Jax:

On another note, it was great seeing all of our family and friends while were in town! Thank you all for making our trip enjoyable. While in town we took Addison to Sea World and Disney and had such a great time. I think she enjoyed Sea World a little bit more since she loves animals so much. We will definately take her again soon! Chad has had leave the past couple of weeks and it has been SO nice having him home. His first day back is tomorrow and I must admit it will probably be a bit odd having him go back. We have gotten into somewhat of a funk of having him home all day. We have been selfish with him:) Addison is doing fabulous. She is doing so many new things, I probably couldnt even type them anymore. She is saying new words daily. She can also make just about any animals noise there is. She has gotten so big, and looks like such a big toddler nowadays. She hasnt looked like a baby in awhile, but I think I have just been hanging on to what baby I have left of her. She is so much fun though and we always have such a great time with her. She has thoroughly enjoyed having Chad home so much as well. I dont have too many recent pictures of Addison but I will post some soon!

Chad made Addison into a "Baby Burrito"

I thought this one was cute of Addison. She was romping around on the bed with Chad and I just loved her facial expression.
