Maddie on her bike!

Grandpa worked with Maddie a bit in Kokomo and daddy finished the job a few days later.  She was a quick learner and LOVES riding like a big girl!  GO MADDIE! :)

Allie and Dane

The cousins performed many songs for us.  Once the little ones were done, the big girls put on a show as well. Unfortunately, no video footage of them.  They were just as cute! :)

Maddie's Last Day at Little Vikes

Maddie picked out her outfit to wear for her Little Vikes Graduation.  I was fortunate to have Maddie in the spring program for the past two sessions.  It was a wonderful experience!

 Maddie and her teacher, Katie.

 Before we left, Maddie wanted to take pictures all around the room.  She didn't want to forget what anything looked like.

 Maddie by her cubby.  She sat on the ice cream cone, which is where her best friend, Brooke, sat last year.   She was so excited when she learned the ice cream cone was her rug spot!

 Maddie and I pose for one last picture in the FCS Office.

Just a few pics of Maddie that I like...

Mother's Day

It was a great day.  We went to church and then we went bowling! :)   The kids loved the first couple of frames and then became more interested in the video games!

Baby in the Belly!

I am very behind on the blog, but we are very excited that we will be adding a 5th member to our family in October!  We told the kids after my 12 week appointment by going out to eat at their favorite place, Jason's Deli.  We had been telling them all week that we had a surprise to tell them.  We gave them hints and Maddie let out her smile smirk, but acted like she didn't know what we were telling her.  Dane then blurted out, "a baby"!  Then she smiled and said "a baby" too!  She was acting funny, but then her excitement was apparent as seen in the video. 

The first couple of weeks were rough - felt sick and super tired often.  It was more similar to my first pregnancy with Madeline.  Since then, I have felt decent for the most part.  

This picture was taken at 22 weeks pregnant.
