Welcome Max!

Maximus Lee joined us at 11:50 AM Wednesday, Aug. 29th. He was 22 inches long and 10 pounds 3 ounces, with a head full of hair. Mommy and Max are both doing wonderful and we all feel extremely fortunate to have been in such great care. The staff at the Reedsburg Area Medical Center treated us exceptionally well and are all fabulous! Thank you all so much! Madison and Macy have not quite learned the name yet and continue to call him Jackson or Sam, both names of some friends' boys. Very cute! We have all been preparing for the trip home, even Ginger. She really misses mommy. Soon, Ging, soon!

Almost Baby Time!!!!

It is Sat., the 25th, my sister's birthday! I have been having pretty steady contractions...could be the day! We took some last minute belly/baby shots that we wanted to share. Hopefully, we'll have more news to come shortly!!! My official due date is tomorrow, so we'll see what happens! Wish us luck!

Fluffy's new haircut

We shaved Fluffy yesterday, and Madison LOVES his new haircut. She's been loving him up!

Gymnastics with Madelyn

This was the last week for gymnastics

class. Madelyn came to play before class on Weds., and the girls put these handbands on all by themselves! Jesse got them to "show their muscles!" We were all laughing so hard! They wore them for awhile at gymnastics, too. On the last day, each student got to go on top of the podium and receive a "prize." Definitely an activity to think about for the future!

The girls are so cute when playing nicely together. Macy has been lost without Madison in the same room. She is constantly calling out for Maddie and continues to bring all of her blankets and pillows to Madison's bed and hops right in! Madison has already had a sleeping bag, and Daddy is taking them camping with some friends next weekend, so Macy got hers, and we "practiced" in the living room!

Oschner Park in Baraboo

We had such a fun day yesterday. After our friends stopped by, we met some co-workers at the Pizza Ranch in Baraboo, and then off to Oschner Park to see the animals and play on the playground. We all had so much fun together! The kids loved seeing the animals, and enjoyed playing at the park. They especially loved the big black bear, sitting in the swing. It was a perfect day, nice and cool. Madison stayed on the swings for almost the whole time! They fell asleep on the way home, so Jesse was able to finish the last of our painting!!!!! Yeah!!!! Now we can start putting the house back together before baby arrives! Wish us luck!

Friend times!

Although she wouldn't look at the camera, Macy enjoyed having her "boyfriend" Braden over to play yesterday!!! They were both dressed in their badger apparel...too cute! They loved coloring and sending mail. We will get to see Joy and Braden this Friday, too! Yeah!!!
