Thankful

I am always thankful for you.

Election Day

November 6, 2008 was my due date.
As I was watching the election coverage last night I looked over at Maddy and vividly remembered holding her in my arms, four years ago. This tiny, little perfect one-week-old version of Madelyn Eileen. Now, four years later.... she is a little girl. She has brought such joy to my life in her four years. I think back to November of 2008 and how I had no idea what amazing life she would bring to me.

Sometimes Halloween Comes Twice a Year

Why not? Especially if you are the birthday girl!

This year because of Hurricane Sandy trick-or-treating in our neighborhood was postponed until the weekend... So, we figured.... Why not do it again!

Dora the Birthday Girl

Dear Sweet Maddy:

You are growing into such a smart, wonderful, beautiful little girl. I am so proud to be your mommy. Happy 4th Birthday Sweetheart. I thank God everyday for you.

Love, Mommy

Maddy's View

One of Maddy's favorite things to do is take pictures from my phone. Once she hands it back I usually have 500 pictures of her feet. Hence the title... Maddy's View:

I wanna....

Last night at Maddy's house:

Commercial comes on...
"I wanna..."
Mom changes channel, but then hears a tiny voice in the other room singing....
"Rock and roll all night."

I burst out laughing and asked where Maddy learned that, to which she replied... "school."

Stairs Fell Down

Our front stairs nearly crumbled down. Maddy said "sister" did it. Maddy also says there is a baby in sisters tummy... hmmm.... I'll tackle that another day....

So back to the story.... stairs break, Maddy blames sister, and Maddy comes up with a solution. Papa fix! (It's probably a good thing Maddy is so cute.... Papa worked very hard on this fix.)
