Adjusting

Madi has slept all the way thru the night 2 of the last three nights and that is allowing Jeff and I to get back on track too. We are having a ball. She is a shoe girl...just like Mommy. I've attached a picture where she got into my shoe stash. Also we have gone to the park. The swings and the slide were a huge hit. Especially if big brother was doing it with her.

Swim and Friends

We have spent some time with the Shack's trying to get Madi to open a little to them. She's hesitant, but I can tell just being stubborn. She did let Garrett hold her. We went to Babe's - best food in the world and our little princess wasn't having it.

We also bought a new swimming contraption for her to wear that works wonders. She's got those legs going and is on the way to being a little fish. Wants to do whatever her brother does, from goggles to mimicing what he does in the pool. Life is good, the only problem is we can't get our sleep schedules switched back around. Night still feels like day and day like night.

We've got a ball in her hand, that's a good start if you ask us.

What's going on?

Since we have completed our journey to Madi we will start a new blog for our family life here...Feel free to drop in and see what is going on !

Recently we took Madi to meet her new cousins, aunts and uncles on mom's side of family. She did great. Took to everyone more easily than any of us expected. She also has had her first trip to church. Our church family is so awesome to greet her, but be so tender about giving her room and not overwhelming her. We are blessed by this family of believers. Dylan is off with Garrett as much as possible. We've been home 3 nights and they've already had a sleepover and gone to a baseball game. Soon they will head off to camp together.

God is great, Life is good, Family and Friends are our treasures here on earth.
