Houston Friends

We went to Houston to see our friends a few weekends ago and here some pics of the fun! First off, can you see the view in the background? It's awesome! They have 2 walls that are windows with incredible views of downtown and Herman Park. Madeline seems to be enjoying it.
Madeline was up WAY past her bedtime and is so happy. She was laughing and squealing, I'm not sure if they thought it was a cute as we did......

This is the next day. She's just having a good time playing with the bear. She loves the balls, too. First they go in her mouth and then throws them. It's cute until she throws all 4 of them and then I have to go and retrieve them.
I'll try to keep the posts more regular and hopefully I'll have some crawling pics in the next few weeks!

Super Weekend

Andrew and Ellen spent Thursday night through Sunday at my house and my mom's house. We had so much fun playing - just look at how happy they are!
They invented a new game, "crash" and here are some pictures of how they play. As you can see, I decided to add pillows to decrease the amount of rug burn on their cute faces. It didn't seem to faze them.


I also have Ellen taking care of Madeline for me. She's getting ready for her new brothers/sisters!
Truthfully, they both put their dishes in the sink after they were through eating without me even asking. I never would have thought to ask but they just got up and put their dishes up. Jennifer is doing something right!

Now this is just great! Andrew is entertaining Madeline with his cars and Ellen is giving her the pacifier. Could it get any easier?!

Jennifer came over Sunday morning and hung out. I think this sums up how tired everyone was. Everyone played hard this weekend.

After they left, I think John and Madeline needed a little nap.....maybe more John than Madeline. And in the midst of all the fun, our first rose bloomed! (John planted a few rose bushes - thanks for the suggestion Memama!) Look how beautiful!

Family fun

Madeline visited Grammy and Grandpa at work. As you can see, she had a great time. I'm not sure if she was helping to get work done, or distracting. Hmm.....you decide. By the way, notice the fabulous dress and shoes.


Andrew and Ellen came over to play - lots of fun! Ellen is demonstrating how to use the nose suction bulb. I guess she's used it before.
They love their Uncle John and even said his name before mine. Yes, I'll admit I'm a little jealous. They were having fun and smiling before I got my camera.

Milestone

Madeline clapped her hands for the first time today! It was so cute, but we weren't able to get any pictures.

I have some current pictures that I'll post once I upload them.
