Madeleine's cake

I forgot to show of Madeleine's cake. Notice the Madeleine cookies?
I can't take full credit, I saw this in Martha Stewart Magazine.

Weekend Wrap Up

We went to the pumpkin patch.

Rode the cow train.

Bobby thought these were "our kid's", so he took a picture of them.
I thought they were our kids too and filmed them with my mother in law's video camera. We only figured out they weren't our kid's when we pulled our eye away from the cameras. It was a good laugh.

Eva dressed as Eve from Wall-E

We also went to a harvest party. Isabella was dressed a cinderella and met a girl named Ella also dressed as cinderella and they were inseperable.

We also went to a winery this Sunday. The weather was perfect, which made the wine more enjoyable.

Maddie just being Maddie and smiling at everyone.

sick baby= tired mama

Madeleine has bee sick this week, poor girl. What does that mean for me?
It mean sleepless nights. At night she cries and wiggles and cannot get comfortable, the night before, it was her pj's making her to hot and she needed a little tyelonal and a bottle and that did the trick. But last night, omg! She woke up a 2am refused a bottle I took of her pjs, nope that wasn't it. Bobby left the bedroom to go sleep on the couch. Well after a 20 mins (maybe it was 10)
I went out the living room and kick Bobby off the couch and we watched Conan and she stopped crying. She didn't fall asleep, she watched the whole thing (there was nothing else on, but infomercials) . Then she played, then she cuddled and finally at 4:00am she fell back asleep and was awake at 8:00 am this morning. I'm just a big grump. I'm crossing my fingers she will take a long nap. I feel like I have a newborn this week.

my favorite park

We went for a walk today just the girls and I to my favorite park. It sits up on a hill.
I have to admit, I love hills. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday little Maddie

Madeleine turned 1 yesterday!
Poor girl has a cold, I was able to get a few shots of her without snot dribbling out of her nose.

A few of us moms went to the pumpkin patch a week ago. I had Isabella stand in front of every wooden cut out even though she was a little nervous about ghost and gobblin.

Hello Buddah

It's a very p.c. kinda place with St. Francis and Buddah in the same garden area

Last week we went for a walk with Aunt Erin and Lucia to the neighborhood restaurant.
These pictures are backwards.

Fall

Fall is finally here! This is one of my most favorite times of year. The air is crisp, the leaves are all the most beautiful colors, the food is warm and good. It's always this time of year I thank God that he made such a beautiful world full of beautiful changes to keep things fresh. It never grows old.
