Madeline actually let me play with her hair for a bit! She usually won't have any part of it...sometimes just putting in the bow is too much!!! She would much rather be on the go! Grandpa and Grandma Welke came up last weekend. We had a great time and Madeline bonded with them big time! Two of daddy's favorite things! Mads crawled right on in the box all on her own. She loves climbing into things, on top of things... she is our little monkey!Bonding with Grandpa and Grandma! Last weekend was beautiful!
I knew something was up and cracked up when I saw what Madeline had gotten into.

Madeline could spend hours looking for "hop hops!"

A Kiss To CALI!!!

Madeline and Addison were talking on the phone and Maddie went and kissed the phone!  We can't wait to see you guys!!!

Loving the Outdoors!

Maddie runs right to the neighbors whether they are there or not!  She starts saying "HI!!!" before we are even out the door!

Once again, pointing at the neighbors house!

Easter Sunday

We had so much fun this Easter! Madeline went on an Easter egg hunt, but was definitely most excited about the fruit snacks.  She went straight to the fruit snacks and wanted to eat them then and there!  So much for eating the homeade waffles with strawberries and Cool Whip!  We had a nice church service with the Newton's and then went to Grammie and Papo's house for a delicious late lunch/early dinner.  We all ate a ton!  It was a beautiful day!

Some Bunny is Going to be a BIG Sis!

Showing great grandpa Madeline's BIG SISTER shirt!
SOMEBUNNY IS GOING TO BE A SWEET, SWEET BIG SISTER!!! We are expecting Baby #2 around Sept. 30th. I am 14 weeks and feeling just fine. This has been a different pregnancy for sure! I was conjusted for the entire 2nd month of my pregnancy and that wasn't fun! I am pretty sure that I also had a sinus infection to deal with. I am craving salt this time around and didn't have that "I need to eat NOW feeling with this one." There have been quite a few other differences, but I won't go into too much detail!

Dying eggs with the family - Grammie made the cutest ones!!

Making the eggs very pretty by putting stickers on them!

Madeline really liked the stage at the VFW. She was running around with a couple of little girls and jumping on the stage - they were the entertainment!

Walking into the fish fry. It's a tradition to go there when we are in town! Madeline did eat cod (fried, of course!), baked beans, apple sauce and onion rings...not a picky eater at all!

Maddie Bunny!

Claire Bunny!

The girls had fun playing with all of the Easter eggs and bunnies!
Madeline wouldn't get too close to great grandpa this trip...hopefully next time she will be more open! Claire however had a good time with him!

We call Matt's G-ma Mimi. We were surprised when we started hearing Madeline call my grandma Mimi. It lasted all weekend and once again, when she saw this picture she said "MIMI!" We don't think she has the two confused, she just must think this is the name for great grandma! :)

Little Swimmers

Maddie and Claire are in Water Babies together. Here they are just before we left for class. They both love the water and they did great!
