___Well, look what I found!!!!! I have removed portions that had the same information as the last post. :)


If intentions got things accomplished, dear girl, this blog would be overrun with new posts regularly. But, alas, your Grammy is a tad of a procrastinator when it comes to this thing. :)

Nineteen months yesterday!!! Wow!!

Let's see...you have had a busy few months and a lot has gone on in my life and yours. The winter was unkind to most of us - giving us bouts of ear and sinus infections, and a few had flu-like issues (fevers, chills, etc.), but all are well just in time for pollen season. Oh, goody.

______ deleted portion

(Continuation of portion regarding your new impending addition to your little family.)

We shall see. Your mommy can get pretty set on things, so she may not change it, but it will certainly make Grammy and "Aunt" Renie's conversations very confusing. You are so cute trying to learn how to say his name. Right now it is somewhere between No-nan, or No-no. LOL.

Spring has finally arrived- pollen and all, so that definitely will mean you and Grammy will be outdoors more, going to the playground (although we have taken you most of the winter regardless), and just finding new things to discover in your world.

I will close with some of the pictures over the past couple of months. Love you bunches, sweet girl. You are the bright spot in my days.


___ Addendum-- well, this is where it went to pot and the computer acted up-- so, see- I really had started it...lol. :)

Well, like blogging isn't a difficult enough commitment, throw in the computer deciding to freeze up, or declare you need more virtual memory, and then eats the entire blog. Oh, just ducky. Ah, best laid plans of mice and men. Oh, well, God is just teaching me something else. :)

Madi, Madi, Madi- what a busy two months it has been. No, I still have not gotten all of your fall events added to the last entry, but such is life. Between, busyness, sickness, and just flat out procrastination, often it takes a village it seems, to do things.

You, my sweet girl, have had a very busy time, however. You have a new baby cousin, Megan, born February 18, to your Uncle Brad and Aunt Jen-Jen (as you sweet girls call her), you have added more to your ever growing vocabulary, you added a few more teeth, have had a few ear infections, and, because of a relatively mild winter, have had many trips to the park, playground, and museum.

Easter was quite the event. Your mom planned a lot of fun things for you and London. You were able to attend a helicopter drop egg hunt on a very miserably (unseasonably so) cold day. Eh, you got the gist of it, at least, but it was not spectacular. :)

 London was able to have "early" Easter with a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt at your house. You both loved it.

The day before Easter your mommy and I took you two to Lazy Five Ranch for yet another helicopter drop egg hunt. That was a great day. You both played with bunnies, hunted for your six different colored eggs, got faces painted, did a scavenger hunt, and took a wagon ride to see all the animals. What a long, busy event.  We had pizza for dinner, and then had an outdoor glow-in the dark egg hunt at my house. You were both exhausted.

On Easter Sunday we all attended church service (even your Daddy came- well, he was very, very sleep, but he was there..lol), and you and London were in the nursery. Then Mommy made an Easter lunch, and we held another Easter egg hunt after Daddy left for work. You both got your Easter gifts from Grammy and then went home. Another long, tiring day.

We had your pictures taken just a tad late for your eighteen month marker. You were so stinking cute. You see the picture in the house now and say, "Madi dancin', Madi dancin'." Cracks me up. I am including a few here- you will see the one I am talking about.

The most important thing in the past two months is that you are going to be a big sister to a BROTHER!!! His name is to be Nolan Armstrong, unless Mommy changes it. Grammy's best friend's (Aunt Renie) daughter (Malia) is having a baby this week and her baby will be Nolan Alexandra. That is why it might get changed. I am not holding my breath because your mom has her mind pretty set. We are halfway there to his arrival.  I hope you will adjust to his being here well. I have noticed you have been clingier to your mommy lately- not sure if it is because she is working more, or because you know you have competition in the works. :)

Well, I am closing for now and not pressing my luck with the computer. :) Love you bunches, sweet girl. You and your sister are my joy. I know your brother will have competition in my heart - I am certain the Lord will find another hole I did not know was empty to fill with love for him. :)
