Digital memory

I just reread some of my past blog entries. I realized I would have forgotten some of this stuff if I would have never posted. So once again I will try really hard to blog more. Just need to find that camera charger.

Sheep

Little Bo Peep and her flock of sheep.

She's 2!

Today Marks Madeleine 2nd Birthday.
I decided to write her a letter (something I'll try and do with each kid on their Birthday)

Dear Maddie,
When you entered the world and breathed your first breath of air, it was 2 years ago today.
For some reason I expected you to look just like your sister, but you didn't. You were your own person, same parents different person. I remember I slept with you in my hospital bed for 5 hours straight and the nurse came in and woke us up for you to eat. I think we were both irritated it was a rough day for the both of us. Now jump forward two years and you wake up with a smile every time. You get me out of my grumpy funk in the mornings when I walk into your room and you quickly jump up and yell, "Mama I wake up!" I love it how when you want to tell me something you tilt your head to the side and look me right into my face and tell me what you want. When you lay your head on my chest and I rest my head on your course curly hair, it warms me. You are the comedian of the family always looking for a laugh. I think you make me laugh everyday and it lightens my load. You are a blessing in every way. Happy Birthday my little love.

Maddie likes

She's my comedian. She like to be "Fonny" and wants to make sure she is funny by asking you if you thought her little stunt was "Fonny?"
She likes to cuddle stuffed animals. She likes to be tickled and loves the thrill of a chase. She likes have her ear rubbed. Likes any shirt with an animal on it. She likes to collect rocks when we go for a walks and wear rubber boots. She like to play in the water no matter how cold it is out side.
Peanut butter sandwiches along with milk are her favorite. Chocolate is something she can smell on your breath. First thing she says in the morning is, "Mama I awake!"
She is also the first one to respond to my sneezes with a "Bless you mama." Awww...sweetness.

The Big Bad Wolf

Isabella: Mama, I slept in my big girl bed all night!
Me: I'm so proud of you!
Isabella: Yeah, the big bad wolf didn't get me. We don't have a chimney, right?
