Letters to Daddy-O

This was this morning's email to Ray... from me.

Email Titled: Cross My Heart

Enclosed: I am sorry I threw your shoe at you. I won’t do that again :)

Read Me a Story

Maddy reads the most wonderful stories. Sometimes though... she moves too much to see the pictures...



I did finally get around to taking some pictures of the redecoration of Maddy's house. Check'em out. Make sure to look at our new, beauutiful curtains Nana bought us.

Ooopps.... bonus of Maddy snuck in...

Back to the remodel...

Live to Ride, Ride to Live.

We had a great weekend redecorating the house, shopping, park excursions, and checking out Papa's Harley!
Ray and I took Madelyn to a local park on Friday night after work. We let her run around and explore this new place- then we took her over to the swings. She giggled like a drunkard! I will be taking her to many more swings in the near future!
On Saturday after the redecoration of our house Papa showed Maddy "The Famous Harley."

Another One?

I get asked this all the time.
Truth is... I don't know. Not today, or tomorrow at least. I am so happy with our little family- it feels perfect. SO for now, I think we'll just sit back and enjoy. (The fact that I would have to -most likely- give up sugar if I were to ever become pregnant is another reason!)


BUT... it makes it hard when I see photos like this. Look at Mikayla take care of her new little brother, I can see Maddy in her. Ray's sister Christen has done such an amazing job at being a mom- she makes it look easy.

Cutie-Pie

I'll have more of a post later... but for now, here is some cuteness :)

Maddy says- hello!

It is the cutest thing. When you walk in and out of a room she will now say hello with a wave, or goodbye. It cracked me up the first time she did! What? Where's my little girl!?
OK... I will use "Not Me! Monday" to explain our weekend. "Not me Monday" was derived from MckMama's blog- It was born so that we could shamelessly explain away everything we have not done.
I did not let my daughter chase around Sam (the Beagle) downstairs until he finally growled at her to leave him alone.

I also did not feed Maddy pastina for the first time and not use a bib, and let her feed herself. We will not be finding teeny-tiny little pasta pieces for years to come.

What did I do though? Well- Nana and I put on new threads onto the front stairs. Remember this post? I still have flashbacks. Check'm out though...

The Sweetest Girl

I love to nuzzle up to Maddy. Whenever I do this she giggles.
Because she is now walking Ray and I lose ....errr.... have to chase her around the house. A few days ago while we were going about our day Maddy ran off and I quickly followed behind making sure to be very quiet as to not let her know I was close. I watched my sweet little girl walk into our bedroom, go to the nightstand on daddy's side of the bed, turn on the clock radio, and dance to the current hits of 2000. Who taught her this? It was hands down the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I want to make sure I hold onto this... I do not ever want a moment like that to pass me by, I am honored to have the sweetest girl in the world living by my side.
