Sweet Nothings...

After being gone several weekends in a row, laundry had reached an all-time high.  That Madelyn is a little thing, but girlfriend certainly makes up for size in laundry contribution!  So, this weekend was used to catch up on laundry...and on cuddle time!

This week started off good for Madelyn.  She has decided that Columbus is her favorite holiday of the year I'll bet!  Day care was closed Monday for Columbus Day, so Nana came up and watched Maddie for us.  Let's just say when we took her back on Tuesday, all guessed that she had seen a grandparent for the weekend! Ha!  We also just finished off leftovers that mom made that day!  Yummy!  I guess you are never to old to need be
babied."  The rest of the week was very typical.  Robert is getting into the swing of things at his work, thankfully he is now in the office and able to take and pick up Maddie at normal times.  (Last month we had to pay a lady at daycare to come sit with Maddie for an hour and then take her in to day care because we both left way before day care opened.)  I am working with one of the breast surgical oncologists this month and am loving it.  It can be stressful at times, but it is so rewarding.  I am reminded daily how strong women are, especially in difficult times.  I thank God daily for allowing me to pursue this dream, there is no doubt hat this is where He wanted me to be. 

We had a little cold front this week, so we actually pulled out the sweaters one day, can you believe it!?  I laughed as we did...those temperatures would have been nothing this time last year in Iowa!

 Interested in everything but the camera these days...

 Headed to day care!

Mid week we tried squash, Madelyn's first "real food"...besides rice cereal and oatmeal.  SHE LOVED IT.  We could not get it to her mouth fast enough!  But, unfortunately, she got a little rash on her face soon after eating it, so we took a little hiatus from it and will try it one more time this week to see if it was true allergy, hopefully not!

Saturday was this kind of day...

Madelyn did well today at church today.  She is definitely a little busy body, but she was a quiet busy body atleast, so I was able to hear "most" of the sermon today. 

Where's Maddie?! Love my little wild child! Ha, you can see her shoe already off in the bottom left hand corner.  Yes, we are both constantly on the look out for missing shoes these days :)

Mama was in charge of lunch today...we ate at Red Lobster.  This is actually a picture of us looking at Robert through the glass at Red Lobster.  We got a little bored waiting on the ticket so we went out to enjoy the sun...Maddie saw her Daddy through the window in no time!

An attempt at a little photo shoot today before we went for a little stroll around the lake...let's just say baby girl was more interested in the grass than the camera today! 

 

 I rest my case.

 

 First taste of good ol' grass!

 

 Guess she wants seconds!

 Yes, with so MANY things to look at outside I think I only got a couple where she was looking at me.  :) 



Ahhh, love these two, off to the lake we go! 

Somebody is excited!

 It was a beautiful fall day, Madelyn was loving the sunshine!

Sad to say goodbye to our weekend pallet! :) Who ever knew that a tiny little room could house so many happy memories.
