When Daddy's Away...

So, I stayed up ridiculously late last night because Mr. Stannix is away. Seriously, there's something about a dark house, alone, at night....I always get freaked out. I listened to music until around midnight, with every single light on in the house. One more night alone...

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

In all seriousness, I've never been a fan of the dark. Before I was married, my roomate and I had a night light in our basement suite.  The boys used to always make fun of us. It took me a while to get used to the silence of the dark when I would have to wake up to nurse our tiny girl. I'm O.K with that now, I just hate sleeping alone. Camilla and I shared the bed last night :)

Today was a very eventful, fun filled Friday.  We spent the day with my cousin and her sweet little lady.  It was fun to get the girls together and just to hang, and prepare things for the big reunion next weekend.  She is such an amazing lady, and I always learn so much from her when we get together.  I admire her "go-getter" personality.  She's so great, and always puts in her best effort to everything.  She's an awesome example to me.  

Camilla was such a ham today. She was loving goofing off and being silly.  Her personality comes out more clearly every day.  She's a lot like her Daddy. Very fun loving, determined, and.....goofy. I love it!
She has learned to put her sun glasses on  
all by herself.
And peek under them...
And put them on her head like her Uncle Mike.
I seriously adore this pic! It's totally "Camilla". I love the gentle look in her eyes and the slight grin on her face. Although she can be a monster at times, deep down, she is the sweetest, most loving little girl.
(Who loves to pose for the camera lol)

After everything was finished, we went outside to catch some rays and blow bubbles. Camilla had fun with Jenny!!

I now have some house cleaning to do, and some dinner to make!
Happy blogging!

Hey Addie!
Love the pictures, I can't believe how big she's getting!
I had a question for ya, how do you put stuff in the picture headings? I always try and it looks awful! What programs do you use?

The Stannix's said...

In the picture headings? Like the banner thing at the top? or on the blog posts or?.... For the banner picture thing, I use power point. I put the text on with word art and group it all together and save it as a pic. If that's not what you were meaning, let me know. I'll try to explain it better :)
