Fall Pictures at Waveland

We took Madeline to Waveland late this afternoon to get some good fall pictures. Here are a few of them. She had a great time! As long as she's moving, she's happy!

More Adventures with MJ

Here's what the Princess did today while she was helping me with laundry. I told her, "Stay right here while I get the laundry basket." This is her creative way of following directions! And yes, her arm is out of her sleeve. Don't ask me how she managed to do that!

Matching Onesies!

On Friday afternoon, Madeline and I went to Emmi and Jeff's to visit Kylie Hope. This was my third visit with the baby, but it was Madeline's first. So, we put the girls in their matching monogrammed onesies, and tried to get some cute pics of them. Kylie slept like an angel through the whole photo shoot. Madeline had to do a circle around the living room after each picture we took. She truly did realize that Kylie was a real person, and not a doll. She kept looking at her and saying, "Eyes! Fingernails! Hairs! Nose! Baby!" I thought Madeline was very gentle with Kylie considering she's never been around a newborn before. I am so proud of our girls, and am so happy for our friends Emmi and Jeff. Kylie Hope is a miracle baby. She is beautiful. Madeline and I discussed their future playdates in the car on the way home from their house!

Our Punkin

Here are some fall pictures Ms. Sherry took of our Punkin last week. Our babysitter this year is truly a blessing from God. I never imagined being able to leave my daughter with someone who would love her and care for her so much. As rotten as this school year has been, at least I don't have to worry about Madeline during the workday. And she somehow manages to get her to smile for pictures... something I'm not always successful with these days!

Fall Break Fun!

Madeline enjoyed being at home for a whole week! We had a lot of fun. She went for her 18 month check up and we were told that she is going great. She got her 18 month pictures made, went shopping, spent lots of time with family, and got spoiled a lot! It was nice that Jerrod was able to take off for most of the week so we could all be together.

Bi-Water Farm

We took Madeline to the pumpkin patch in Georgetown today. It was perfect weather. She went on a hayride, rode on the train, fed some animals, picked out a pumpkin, and played hopscotch. She was so cute! There was definitely more for kids to do at Bi-Water than at Boyd's Orchard.

JELV Hoe Down

Madeline went to Family Fun Night on Thursday night. She helped Mommy sell T-shirts, watched the live music, and played with Elyse. She looked so adorable in her pumpkin outfit! She did really well, thanks to empty T-shirt boxes, pizza, and Potato Heads!

Cutie

I know I should feel badly about taking Madeline's picture this morning at 7 am. She had only been awake for 15 minutes! I couldn't help myself because she was such a cutie in her Halloween shirt. It's hard to believe she's already 18 months old!

"Stickers!"

Last night Madeline went into Jerrod's office and came out with stamps all over her pajama shirt! She found them on his desk and helped herself! She came running into the family room saying, "STICKERS!" She's the cutest piece of mail we've ever seen!
