The Forecast for Boston: Snow, slush, rain... in other words.... wet ALL week. I actually do not mind the snow... as long as it doesn't get too carried away with itself, snow is OK. Rain though... not so much. Maddy does not like the rain either, but I am hoping I will be able to show her some funny cartoons to pass the time indoors. SO the following are some of my favorites, grab a hot cocoa and stay inside!

68 Weeks
Hmmm 2 posts in one day... I wonder if this is legal.
I usually do not do 2 posts in a day... BUT this required a written thought. I receive a weekly email that gives me some generic info on "your baby." Every week from when I was very early in my pregnancy I have been receiving this email about what my baby is doing. Sometimes I just look over at her and check, but there are occasions where I have Today, the title of the email was 68-weeks. You guessed it... they are talking about her age. My little sweet, tiny big girl is 68-weeks old. Just a thought that I needed to share. My angel is growing too fast.

Glass Breaking Post
I was notified this morning that I have been nominated for Mother of the Year.... of the entire Universe. I was in tears when I received the news, but they were not happy ones. Let me back up to about 5 minutes before I received this prestigious accolade. The alarm clock goes off... Brrrrring. Brrring. (My amazing literary skills make it sound more like a telephone, but you get the picture.) Ray gets up and puts Maddy next to me in bed. "Hang tight little one, I am going to go make a milk-bubba for you." Daddy says Next thing I know -in a New York second- Maddy flies off the bed- LEAPS AND BOUNDS before crashing into the glass nightstand with her head. I jumped up and rocked her in my arms trying to make her fears go away- She looked up at me in anger. She was pee-ode. I could she her thoughts... How dare you let that happen?
It was shortly there after that I was awarded.
Maddy is OK... She was not hurt and continued on to her milk bubba with no problems. Her mom is a little bruised.

Lovey-Dovey Days
I was talking to my mom about how it is very easy to get lost in the role of "Maddy's Parents." Ray and I are hers. I love that about my life. I love that Ray makes it his daily mission to make her smile, but sometimes we need to be us. SO, this past weekend Nana took baby Maddy- and Ray and I went to dinner and a movie. I forgot what it was like to be us, Ray and Amanda the "couple." Although coming home to that sweet smiley face was a wonderful way to end a Saturday night date.
On Valentine's Day we went to Nana Pam's and Papa's. Maddy had wonderful gifts of money and clothes (she usually has gifts waiting for her there- even when it is not a holiday) and I had a delicious boiled-dinner waiting for me! I did have to scoot her out of there early... Papa and Maddy were sitting watching the Wiggles and I could see Maddy's eyelids getting heavy.... Something about Papa's lap and rocking chair puts Maddy right to sleep!
Friday night Ray came home with flowers for "his girls:"

Sick. Again.
Maddy is home today with Daddy. She has got a really tough little cold and some major toothage coming through. Daddy will take good care of her though. For now here is some pictures!
Oh... and here is a new dish I created... Buffalo Chicken Salad. Yum!

A teeny, tiny little baby
On January 28th a little-itty-bitty baby joined our family. Whoa... that sounds like I gave birth, no... Christen- Ray's sister had a little Dustin at 6:18pm. At 7lbs 8ozs he is joining the ranks of their now 5 member team. I cannot wait to meet him, and hold him... and then give him back so I can take a nap. Just. kidding. While we were waiting for the call from California, I told Maddy that she was probably a big cousin now... She is working on what she needs to teach him as I type. The list so far:
1) The Wiggles are really entertaining, but weird. Maybe just watch Dora.
2) Gerber yogurt melts are AWESOME... get your mom to buy you some of those, and send me some too.
3) Watch out for the diaper rash... it is bound to happen. Vaseline works wonders.
4) Do not under any circumstances let your dad hold you upside-down after bubbas. You are too little... that can wait for later.
...to be continued.
