Happy Birthday, Gigi!

Happy Birthday, Gigi! Sorry we can't be there to celebrate in person, but we are thinking about you and hope you have a wonderful day!! When we told Maddie it was your birthday, she decided she would make you a card.

She carefully thought about which colors she would use.

These look pretty good.



These definitely won't work.

The finished product!

She put your card on your chair to save your seat.....

For a tea party, of course!!

Have a wonderful day!! We love you.

On the Move

Miss Maddie is walking these days! Still a little unsteady, but I'm sure she'll be running soon! I finally caught her on camera this morning, walking and dancing to the Wiggles. She usually drops down and crawls as soon as she spots the camera because she wants to snatch it out of my hands. And yes, I said morning. Notice the dark windows in the background. Maddie is still quite the early riser. I'm not looking forward to "fall back!"

Animals!

Maddie is quite the animal lover these days. Today we went to the Exotic Zoo in Johnson City, for an up close and personal look with The Huttons and The Weaklys. It was great! We saw all kinds of great animals, but the camel was my favorite!

Maddie loved them all, but her first love is still the cows. Luckily we get to see them everyday at Uncle John and Aunt Kelli's. Here is Maddie showing off her skills.

Thank you Lisa, for inspiring today's outing, and Kelli for planning it! We loved it and give it two thumbs up! And if anyone else thought it was time for a blog makeover, you can thank Kristi! For some reason, she thought it was time to update the picture of Maddie from 4 days old. I love the new look!
