Where to begin?

Greg and the boys in Vail?
He would be so mad if he knew I posted this pic...he thinks his face looks fatabulous!

Maddie doing "So Big!" She claps and waves now too! Oh man.

Washing off after a messy dinner of finger foods!

Maddie just had four teeth come in on top...and makes this "cute ugly face" as we like to call it!

I don't even know which order these pictures should go in...the last few weeks have been such a blur of family, friends, and Maddie milestones! Greg went snowboarding with some buddies from church a couple of weeks ago, and had such a blast! While he was gone, my best friend Nicole (and we were too busy talking to take pictures again...darnit!) and her husband Andy came down from St. Paul for the weekend. It was so wonderful, except for my sick little dearie Madeline. When Greg came home we immediately took Madeline to the doctor where we discovered her first ear infection. Sigh. Now that we are over all of that, it's just crazy to watch Maddie discover and learn new things. Sigh again. Our little babers is growing up....

Three weeks ago my grandma Jean had a stroke. She is in the hospital rehabilitating right now, but the doctors aren't sure she will walk again. This is a really tough blow because Grandma Jean is really independent. We went to visit her a couple of weeks ago and it's so hard to see someone you love in such a state. Please pray for her and my Grandpa John along with my parents...as my dad is her only child and they are pulling 24 hour days trying to help in any way they can!
