Favorite sister shots!

FINALLY we get some cute sister pics! Hopefully more will come!

Dancing

My sister's family gave this life-size dancing doll to Madison for her birthday. We've had lots of laughs with it so far!

Many firsts!

Many "firsts" occurred this week for Macy! She's been so close to crawling for so long, and just took off the other night (of course I was out to dinner with some friends)! Not long after, she started standing up. We'll have to put the crib down since she can pull herself up (notice she wanted out, not wanted me to take that picture). The girls' had their first bath together, without Macy's little bathtub taking up most of the room. I don't think she cared for it too much, but maybe next time. Macy also tried bananas in her mush eater thing, and likes to play around with a sippee cup. She also has enjoyed some puffs - which Madison soon remembered as one of her favorites! We just picked up a toddler bed from my cousin, so that may be the next post!

Busy times!

Hi! We've had a busy couple of weeks, and they have seemed to just fly by! The first weekend in April, we stayed at my aunt's house in Appleton...Jesse had state bowling. We had so much fun, and I posted a picture of the girls wrestling! The following weekend, we went to Chetek to see my nephew's first communion. We also got to meet Julie's Mom! It was so nice to meet the woman who raised my wonderful sister!

This week was filled with lots of activities, but our favorite was watching the two girls play together. It is so fun to know that they will be great friends! Tonight we met some friends in the Dells for dinner. Madison made her dancing debut, on stage with me at Kahaunaville! She was dancing all the way out the door! What a character!

Macy still hasn't started to crawl, but is sooooo close! Maybe by the next post!

Take care everyone!

First official scoot forward!!!!

Hi! We had to post a picture of Macy getting ready to crawl! It may be awhile yet, but she scooted forward for the first time today! She has been rocking back and forth and scooting herself back, so today was a new thing! She has been trying out more solids, bananas and sweet potatoes as of yesterday. She still makes the funniest faces, and her whole body shakes, but she still eats them all! Madison still amazes us everyday with how much she knows. She can recognize the numbers 2-10 (1 always comes out as 4), she knows a lot of the colors and shapes, and can even pick out certain sea animals from one of her puzzles! Two years old is such a sponge stage!! We have started getting out for walks as a family, which Ginger loves. We're having so much fun, and cannot wait for the summer months to spend more time with each other. Hope everyone is doing well!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone from the Easter Bunny!

We Made it!!!!!

Hi everyone! We just got back today from our trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The drive was just fine, until we drove from Milwaukee back to Reedsburg with our latest snow storm! And here we were kind of complaining of the windy 60 degree weather down there! We had such a wonderful time. The girls were awesome. We got there around 4:00 on Saturday and checked into our oceanfront condo. We were in bed by 8:00! We visited an aquarium, ate lots of yummy food, went swimming, built sandcastles, wrote names in the sand, watched the sunrise over the ocean from our living room balcony, went on amusement park rides, and Jesse and I went "double parasailing" over the coast line. We were higher than the high rise hotels, and even spotted a helicopter below us! My mother was such a big help, and that allowed us to have some free time of our own as well. I would definitely do it all over again! I am posting a couple of my favorite pictures, but I also made an account on shutterfly to show a couple more: http://www.scvacation.shutterfly.com/

We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and we'll post again soon!
