More Catching Up....

April 16th

Garden Girl!! Madison loves to dig in the garden with her poppy! She has her own garden tools too. hey have planted quite a bit this year and am happy (and saddened) to say that what she planted is coming up better than what poppy planted. She is my little green thumb nature bug! Her favorite thing lately is to look for worms. She holds the little slimey squigglers in her hand and talks to them. Poor things go swimming sometimes too. She doesn't understand that they can't breath in water... She came up to the deck today and said "Mommy look at my wormy. His name is sqwilliam." She comes up with the silliest yet most appropriate names for things. I think we even have a picture of sqwilliam...




April 24th

What a beautiful day! And so special. We went downtown today, (at Madison's request), and met Great Grandma. Madison loves Goolrick's so we have started to visit at least once every 2 weeks. We met for lunch and then walked around a bit. Madison and GGrandma shared a coke float and posed for some treasured photographs! I am sure these will be special to her for years to come! She even conned me into a new lovie! (Like she needed another one!)

Anyone who knows me knows my best friend Shannon. Our story is a rarity in that we have known each other literally all my life. She was waiting for me when I was born and we have grown up together ever since. She is a year and 3 days older than me. We have seemed to do many things together about a year apart... We got married a year apart and even had our babies a year apart... Madison is 1 year and 4 days older than Kendall. Strange how things work out! We have promised to keep our girls close so they would always have a solid friendship to fall back on... one where even when life gets busy and you lose each other it is only a matter of a phone call, or dinner to get right back to where things left off... we have done a terrible job this far!! Life is so busy and we work opposite schedules, but Shannon has had us over for dinner lately and it has been a blast to see the girls play (and fight) together. They are both sweet but hot tempered girls. They had an altercation tonight over a toy vacuum. It got pretty heated. We laughed a bit at them, took a few pictures and then broke it up! So silly! Can't wait to see what kind of trouble they get into one day...
