I'm back! and Maddy's sickie :(

I know, I know... haven't updated in a long time. We have had a bumpy road for a few months (and after falling down the stairs and setting my hand on fire)- I am ready for Spring!

This past weekend Maddy had a rough go of it. She started getting sick Sunday morning and developed a high temp that would not go down with medicine. Last night when she looked her sickest, Ray and I brought her into the AfterCare Peds Center at Mimi's hospital. She received the star treatment (as you can see below) because of Mimi Pat...

After a few invasive tests, she wanted nothing to do with that hospital room. She insisted on sitting in the Rider- I took her for a spin around the ER as she waved like Miss America (literally.) to all the nurses. She is feeling better today, thank goodness.
I will keep posting and take more pictures soon!

Whoooosh

That is the speed at which my life is going lately.... whoosh.
Maddy has grown more talkative than ever! She sings Row, Row, Row Your Boat, and asks for "Papa" all the time. She has such a personality.

For a daily funny this is my offering.
Background info: Every time I pay a bill online, by check, etc I send an email to Ray to balance the books. Since I do not want to bog down his work email he set-up a home account -in Maddy's name.- I get a chuckle every time I send bill info, because in the "to" box is Madelyn.

Here is today's email:

Hello Baby Maddy :)
Mommy paid the cable bill… Wahoo! We get to keep Justin Beiber, cause we know you’ve got the fever!
I love you :)

Birthdays... Halloween... and everything in between

Happy Birthday to my little sunshine.

It won't be like this for long.

I'll have a two year old soon... she might as well be 18.

No longer a baby, but still my little girl.

At night before dada gets home Maddy and I snuggle on the couch and watch the Food Network channel.

She repeats her favorite words of the day while I look at her and study all those little features.

She has the most perfect nutshell eyes, the heaviest little pair of cheeks, and a button nose.

Being her mom is easy-- she makes it a dream I never knew would come true.

Love You

I love you to the moon and back.
