Such a cutie! Great video--love the song!:>) I have an Addie also. She's my son's youngest and will turn 5 this May. Her oldest brother just turned 13 two weeks ago---big moment in an adolescent's life. I appreciated your comments on my corner view. It was my son's wedding that was the turning point for my ex, his wife (my ex best friend) and me. I was determined that all would go well for my son. My ex was quite uncomfortable esp. at the rehearsal dinner which I insisted on paying for since I had complete custody of my son. But the moment that changed our lives was when I told Sheri that I had made certain an usher would get her and my ex and escort them out after my husband and me and my daughter-in-law's parents. She told me that I didn't have to do that--that it was alright; she didn't expect to be included. I put my hand on her arm and said, "It's the right thing to do. You two are a big part of my son's life and you need to be recognized as such. I have moved on with my life and I'm happy. That's when she apologized for hurting me and that was all I ever wanted to hear. It's been a steady rebuilding of an extended family ever since. We share six grandchildren and often work together on taking care of them when parents are gone on business trips. I truly don't understand those folks who can't get past the hurt and mess for the sake of their kids.

It must be difficult at times, having kids in such different age groups. But fun as well.
