She's Potty Trained!!!!

Halloween 2007- Madison

A Day With Dad

As you all know Jeff has been doing a ton of traveling. The time we do have together is so special to me. Here are a few pics of our day together last Thursday. Hacklebarney State Park (Scrapbook page to follow.)

Just in case you did not believe me....

For those of you who don't believe me when I tell you that Madison is quick to get into trouble. She is so creative with so many dangerous things! But, this time she "just wanted to brush her teeth!" She was just dying to use my tooth brush and tooth paste. WARNING TO ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE BABYSITTERS: SHE IS QUICK TO GET INTO TROUBLE. DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF HER!!

Beginning to Feel Better

As many of you know I am working hard to loose all of my baby weight. I did not like the way I felt. With Madison I put on just about the same amount of weight, but I did not really care. When I lost my last 5 lbs (2 years later) I got pregnant again. I refuse to wait the 2 years again. So anyhow, with Weight Watchers they tell you to have a "goal" in mind and try to reach it. Although I have a long term weight goal I would love to reach, I try to set smaller goals. And today I reached one of these goals. I was able to put my wedding rings on again. This may seem silly to some of you, but meant so much to me. So I figured, OK.. one goal was met today, let me try the other. And that is to fit into a pair of Jeans I received for x-mas last year and was not able to wear then. I tried them on.. I got them up and buckled, but still not acceptable to wear outside of the house. I know I will get there and it just gives me incentive to continue on. I am just amazed at how putting my rings back on is making me begin to feel better!! Keep me in your prayers as I continue the weight loss. I know I will do it, it just takes time!!

Just Another Spread

Here is Savannah's hospital picture. I am back tracking.. and hoping I can catch up soon!

Savannah's Baptism

Savannah was baptised on Sunday. Thank you to all who were here to support us! We could not have asked for a more beautiful day!

Preschool is on order!!

I just thought I would share our joys with you! Yesterday Madison FINALLY pooped on the potty. I know this is really not exciting for those of you that are not parents. But, let me tell you... pure joy for me! After she yelled her usual "I'm done and I did it!", she said, "now I can go to school." And she is right, I did tell her as soon as she was all potty trained she could go to school. I will wait a few weeks to see if this pooping on the potty idea is here to stay or was not just a fluke thing, then I will call to see if there are openings for her at school.

I took her to toys r us to pick out something to celebrate her accomplishments. I handed her the only $7.00 in my pocket and wouldn't you know the only thing she wanted was the bones candy for a quarter in the gumball machines. I really did try to get her to spend the money on something else that I know she likes like lipstick or little puppies. Nope... all she needed was a quarter. I was let off easy on this one. I love their simple minds and how money does not matter yet. I know that will change so I am enjoying it now.
