Grandma Rocklein passed away 7 years ago today at the age of 88. I know I don't speak for myself when I say she is missed more than words could ever express. She made such an impact on my life and I am blessed each day by the memories I hold dear to my heart. I know Addison would've had so much fun with her. She sleeps with her special blanket that her Great Grandma made and is blessed to have Claire as her middle name. We went and "visited" Grandma and Grandpa Rocklein, but explained to Addison that they live in Heaven with lots of family and friends. Grandma and Grandpa were born and raised in New York, had 7 children there and lived most of their lives there before moving to Florida. We enjoy remembering Grandma at family gatherings with the songs "New York, New York" and "What a Wonderful World". I hope you enjoy the pictures and wonderful music. As you can tell in the pictures below, Addison was right at home while we were there today.

Dinner video
Here's a short clip of Addison tonight at dinner. She loves her best friend Taylor and often talks about her. Of course she talks about her favorite cousin, Isabella too! It's fun to ask her new questions to see what her answers will be... especially when I asked her where Isabella lives and where she (Addison) lives. Too funny!

Fun times...
Had a fun time at game night Friday night with friends from work. Unfortunately we were celebrating a friend/coworker's move far away. We will miss her but know she will be happy with her big move!

Addison's First Haircut
Mom and I took Addison to Yellow Strawberry for her first haircut! Her hair was getting pretty long and we thought it was time for a cut. I had been growing my hair out longer too so I could pull it back for the summer. I got tired of that and decided to cut mine today too. So we both had appointments- Addison went first and got a cute cut from Summer. While at Yellow Strawberry, we ran into Aunt Nel who was having her haircut too! After our haircuts, we went to the mall and went shopping. While shopping, we saw Kelly and Taylor (Addison's best friend) who were also shopping at Macy's. We talked about all the fun we'll have tomorrow when we all go to see Elmo at the toy store! Then we ran into Aunt Nel again! We went to lunch with Aunt Nel at Cosimo's and had a fun time. We did some more shopping then came home. Such a fun day!
