Little Big Girl

Almost overnight my baby Madelyn has turned into a little girl.
She talks in full sentences, understands and answers anything you ask, and pronounces her R's (I have no idea who she learned that from!) I have so much fun just being with her. Thank you for being my world sweetheart.

All the Cool Kids Trick or Treat in November

Because of last week's OCTOBER snow storm our annual Trick or Treat with Sabrina & Ethan was held last night.
All the kids looked as cute as ever! Sabrina was Izzy... she even had her own parrot, named Ethan!

We also are in the process of installing french doors leading into the sun room. It is still a work in progress, but I am so excited at how beautiful they are I needed to share photos.

Howl it is Ween

Most of southern New Hampshire cancelled or postponed Halloween last night. This is not something I took well. I wanted, no needed to see Maddy in her Mickey costume. (I also really like the bag of candy.) We packed up and went to Uncle Matt and Lauren's. Maddy (who fell asleep on the ride over) was cranky. She begrudgingly opened the cute-as-heck Gap sweater and clothes she received as a birthday gift from Uncle Matt & Lauren and then even more begrudgingly put her costume on for trick-or-treating.

As sad as she looks she did have a fantastic Halloween! And was the cutest Mickey Mouse I have ever seen!

Someone is 3!

What an interesting weekend! Maddy -through all the chaos- had a fantastic birthday weekend.
She opened gifts from The Farley's and Grandma & Grandpa on Friday night... She loves her Dora video & clothes. She also promptly hung up the pictures of her cousins that were enclosed. Dada loves the contribution to the college fund.

Then Maddy opened her big gift from Mimi...

I would have loved having a doll house this size! It is at least 1' taller than Maddy.

Chuck-E-Cheese birthday party:

A picture Maddy took of mumma. It came out really nice!
Chuck-E-Cheese lets their special birthday guest take a turn in the ticket blaster. Maddy didn't want to go it alone, so they allowed her friends to jump in.
Maddy seems very excited.
Until the machine turns on.

Everything was all better when she saw the ticket loot she got.

After her party we went to Nana & Papa's where Maddy received a full wardrobe for her birthday. Literally. She is the best dressed kid on the block, that is for sure!

Mumma and dada gave Maddy an American Girl baby which she promptly named Jaime.

What a fun birthday weekend. Thank you everyone for making it so special for our little cherub.

Birthdays- Lights Out

Happy Birthday my sweet little girl! Just for your birthday we decided to shut off all the power in the town- until Friday. :) Good thing we do not need electricity to sing Happy Birthday! I love you to the moon and back and back again.

Field Trip

While I was busy exploring Wall Street Maddy went on her first field trip!
She had a great time at the pumpkin patch!
Notice her name is spelled wrong on her pumpkin? She definitely has one of those names that no one will probably spell right!

New York Week

What an amazing week it has been. I constantly ask myself, how did I get so lucky?!
Maddy smiles

I came home from work late last week (after a rather horrendous day at work) to find a surprise at the front door...

Hmmmm.... this looks delicious. A really thoughtful gift from Aunt Susie, chocolate covered pears!
Uncle Matt and I went to NYC for a few days this weekend too. I had the time of my life. We literally saw everything New York City had to offer and had a pretty spectacular time.
