It's beginning to look a lot like...spring....no winter...no...what?

Maddie and her bestest buddie Audrey (1 week apart!)
Oh yeah....thanks for the sunglasses Claudia & Becky! They finally fit!

Daddy and Maddie on the slide!

Maddie on her favoritist...the swing! Greg just built one in the backyard for her too!

During the brief periods of sunshine that we've been having, I like to take Madeline outside as it turned into fall and winter and she really hasn't had a chance to be outside much! And she LOVES it! It has been so fun having these "firsts" with our baby girl. She is now giving kisses (with her mouth open and tongue hanging out) and climbing up the stairs, standing on everything! We have now officially baby proofed our humble home. She also has her first cough...wah!

Thank you for your prayers for my grandma. She is doing better, although a full recovery is looking not so likely! We have a huge praise too...my older brother and his wife Hannah just brought a new baby boy into the world yesterday morning! "Baby Baker" is doing great, Hannah was a rockstar and pushed through with NO MEDS! They are still deciding on a name...so I will wait to make my official post until they do.

These pictures are from over the past month...enjoy!
