Happy Birthday to my beautiful girl!

Ok, so I'm a little late. But, as the saying goes - better late than never! Madeleine's birthday party was held on June 16, 2006 (her actual birthday). Madeleine decided that she was a big girl and didn't need to take her second nap of the day...poor mommy! Maddie did great during her party, though. She laughed, played, and crawled around everyone. Mommy and Daddy opened most of her gifts (which she loves). We had food catered from City BBQ and cupcakes especially for Madeleine. She very daintily ate her cupcake! Madeleine promptly began walking on the day after her birthday! Here are some photos!

Good Morning!

Wow, yesterday was such a beautiful day! Madeleine and I went for a nice long walk around our neighborhood. It is so nice to see all of our neighbors outside after such a nasty winter! Today is supposed to be rainy, but still warm. We are taking advantage of all of this warm weather. Madeleine has her 9 month doctor appointment in just a week or so... it is really amazing how quickly she is growing up. It seems like just yesterday that I was as big as a house and feeling her kick inside of my tummy!

My First Post

Welcome to my first blog posting! I have been wanting to make a blog for quite a while, but haven't had the time or energy to begin. I'm glad that I have taken the time to begin posting pictures and entries about my beautiful baby girl. Madeleine is now 8 and 1/2 months old. She does the most amazing things - smiles at me, cuddles into my shoulder, rolls, bounces, stands with assistance. She brightens each and every one of my days!

I would also like to congratulate my husband on passing his most recent securities test! Great job honey!
