oh so behind...

Has it really been a week? It has been incredibly busy this week. Excue me if I blabber or chase my tail. A lot happens in a week with a toddler. =o)

It all started on Friday night. Madison told us, well, Aaron that she loved him. It was more like "Yum OHHH" but that's what she means. It is getting clearer everyday. Needless to say we both cried! Yes, him first =o)

She gets cuter and cuter everyday, but is also starting to test her boundries. All thise things iI swore "MY CHILD WOULD NEVER DO" she is doing. She still throws her food on the floor, she is now enthralled with spitting her juice outm, or letting it run down her chin. She got a crayon and decorated the place. Must be taking tips from elmo. She now love Dora and is learning a ton. She says some spanish words now too. its really cute.

she is such a doll. I don't understand how a heart that is so full with love for a child can grow with each smile, each word, each tantrum, Won't it eventually explode?

Our little princess is napping right now. I am waiting for ma-maw and pa-paw to come and drop off some stuff. Apparently while they were in atlantic city "gambling" (wink wink) they did a little shopping for our little love bug. I think it was just a covert operation to spoil her =o) Thanks though... the tall giant definatley needs clothes. We are rounding 20 months here. I think I might have a heart attack. I'll soon be the mother of a two year old. How does that happen.

Another thing... Off the subject, but touching. Grace Oughton is a little girl who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she was about Madison's age. She is again battling with cancer and there isn't enough moey for the research that needs to be done for her type of cancer or treatment. Her father and father's of a few other children battling this terrible disease are concluding a trip they called "the loneliest road" The went across country on bikes to raise awareness and money for the research that needs to be done. THey needed to raise 3 million dollars and haven't really come close to that goal. It is a great cause. If you would like to help please visit The Grace Oughton Cancer Foundation site and click on "the loneliest road campaign.

I thank God every day for Madison's health and pray that she remains healthy. Every mother's biggest fear is the loss of their child, followed closely by the fear of leaving their child. My heart goes out to all the mother who have lost children and children who have lost parents. Please know that you are in my prayers and may they forever live on in your heart and the smiles of family.

I will post pictures tonight. Madison is thiiving and learning new things everyday. I continue to learn new things from her everyday. It is amazing to see things through the eyes of a child! Try it sometime. they truely know how to live each day to the fullest!
