Happy Girl

Maddie wakes up with a smile on her face. It's such a delight to get out of bed even in the early hours of the morning to get her!

She just loves kicking and swinging her arms around.

More Weddings

Jesse married another couple this weekend!

Massimo and Jesse: the proud Dads.

Kellie's Birthday Party

Ice Cream Sundaes

With all the toppings

Michelle's creation

And tea, of course!

Lisa, Beth, and the birthday girl

Maddie wanted to be a big girl that night, but just couldn't stay awake with all that partying.

Madison was all dressed up for the occasion- a cupcake on her onesie and a big flower in her hair :)

We had such a great time celebrating our great friend, Kellie!

Chillin' with the Lettuce

Every mom needs to have a "I'm locked out of the car story"...right?! Well, today Mimi, Madison, and I  took a little outing to Trader Joe's. While I was their picking out a bouquet of flowers, I dropped my keys into the bucket of water. I thought nothing of it, and continued shopping. Once we got to the car with packages full of frozen food, my remote would not unlock my car. So I tried my key, which only set off the alarm, and would not allow me to start the car. Now we were stuck in the parking lot with a hungry baby and melting groceries! Of course, Jesse was unable to answer his phone, so Papa came to rescue us riding his white horse (he drives a Mustang:). All is well, but my car is actually still parked in that same spot. We'll go pick it up tomorrow. Moral of the story: never hold your keys while picking out flowers!

Great, Great Aunt Dottie's Visit

After about a month visit, we were sad to see Great, Great Aunt Dottie return to MA. It was a wonderful and memorable visit. 

Such beauties!

She always seemed comfortable in her arms!

Aunt Dottie and Maddie were fast friends from the first time they met. 

New Sleeping Position

Hooray! Last night Maddie slept seven and a half hours! It was amazing to get that much sleep. She is eight weeks today, maybe that had something to do with it. She no longer wants to be swaddled when she goes to sleep. Jesse and I can hear her kicking off the covers so that she can spread eagle. It's so cute!

Madison's First Tea

After the tea Maddie was wiped out!

Mimi got Maddie this adorable outfit- perfect for a tea.

We ate delicious food- look at the chocolate tea cup and cookie high heel!

Pauline decorated our table so elegantly.

Happy Birthday "Aunt" Kellie!

Kellie has been a good friend since I was in High School. So, we have decided that Maddie will call her "Aunt" Kellie. Today we took her out for her birthday! 

"Aunt" Kellie even came to visit Maddie after she had been home only a couple days. We loved the beautiful rose!

Unwinding After a Long Day

After a long day shopping and going to lunch with the ladies Maddie just wanted to sit back, put on her PJ's, drink her bottle, and watch a movie. 

Ladies Day Out

Aunt Dottie took us out for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory- what a treat! 

Madison was all dressed up for lunch. 

Just can't get enough kisses in!

Play Time with Mimi

Play Time

Maddie and Sierra had a play date today. These girls are both 48 days old. They had a really fun time together...

Holding arms...

An occasional punch to the head...

And showing off their tongues.

Wedding

I wonder what she's thinking when she makes this face!

Jesse did a wedding for a couple from our Bible Study this past Saturday. It was already Madison's second wedding, and she's only 6 weeks old!
