We got Addie's name from her cousin Elizabeth Addie Grant. After I met my sweet little niece Elizabeth for the first (and last) time I knew I wanted to name my daughter Addie. Luckily, Eric fell in love with the name too. Today, October 26, would be Elizabeth's 7th birthday and it was Addie's due date. So, in honor of the day, I wanted to post a picture of Addie modeling some of the clothes she got from the Grant girls (Elizabeth Addie and Claire).

I feel like there is something in my DNA that makes me susceptible to purchasing from infomercials. Afterall in the past few years members of my family have purchased miracle blades, mighty putty, some kind of lawnmower cleaning kit, a magic bullet and the list goes on. When I was a kid I would always take up the commercial on the free video for a bowflex, various cutlery, vacuum cleaners, coin collecting kits, sunsetter awnings etc. I'm not sure if it's the convincing commentary, seemingly endless array of examples of how you can use and abuse the products, how they make you feel like you MUST own the given product or just that you can get a $300 value for $19.95. Somewhere in my parents house, if they haven't already been tossed, there is a pile of VHS nonsense.
Recently I was watching a commercial for the Shamwow and I got really excited about them. I told Sarah that if I saw another commercial for them I would be all over it. Needless to say I caught the commercial again and one thing let to another and now I'm the proud owner of 8 Shamwows and I have said "wow" in each use thus far. How can you not trust a guy with a headset? In reality I think I can pretty well justify the purchase. Two kids and something is always spewing out of one of them. Anyhow the Shamwow hasn't disappointed, neither has the commerical, it's fantastic entertainment. Who wouldn't love to sock this dude in the face given the chance?
Jack has been such a good kid this week. I'm sure that a part of it is that my family is in town and the kid is not lacking for attention, toys or treats. But even so, he has been so patient with us and very accomodating. He has also been extremely nice to his sister. He'll wake up in the morning and go over to Addies bed and starts saying "baby....aaaeeee".
