Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was our first weekend staying at Grandma Teri's house overnight with Miss Madilynn. We were able to put her in a playpen in our room to sleep at night (luckily Madilynn had just spent the past weekend sleeping in her playpen in our room since her cousin Gabriella was using her crib). So our being away from home really didn't phase her.

We had a very busy weekend with celebrations at Great Grandma Sharon's on Saturday, then Easter lunch at Great-Grandma Rosie's on Sunday.

Here are a few photos from the weekend....

This is just some of the gifts Madilynn recieved....she received more books and bunnies as the weekend progressed.

(we made it to 0730 mass, and Madilynn didn't say a peep- she was wonderful)

Aunt Katie went Turkey hunting early Easter Morning....

Aunt Dawn

We were using the eggs to work on our colors....

Madilynn had a very busy weekend, she was held by many Aunts and cousins over the course of the two days, and she enjoyed every minute of it. So long as she can face out - and see what is going on (she is nosey like her mommy) then she was content to just hang out and take it all in.

Matt and I also enjoyed our weekend - it is so nice to live in Ohio and be close to family!

Dad's 60th Birthday Party

We had a party at our house for Dad's 60th Birthday. It's taken me awhile to get the photos on the computer, but I finally did. I thought I would share a few from the great weekend. (April 16th)

Christy and Gabriella flew in from Pheonix for the party.

GiGi was able to come up from South Carolina.

Kevin and Anna had a ball playing with Gabriella.

Grandma Blazer made it up from Florida.

Shalina and Ann were there for the party as well.

The girls playing in the bamboo....guess it is good for something....

Karen and Joy with Kathryn and Amanda

The birthday boy!

Several people from Dad's support group were able to come....these are some of the "Applebee's crew".

All of my mom's side of the family.

The antique person himself!

There were nearly 60 people that made the trip to Chillicothe to help celebrate Dad's Birthday.

The weather cooperated for the most part, allowing the kids to play outside. Festivities even included an easter egg hunt. We are so glad everyone was able to come, and hope everyone had as much fun as we did!

2 Months Old!!!

Can you believe Madilynn is now 2 months old?!?!  These are the photos I took of her yesterday...

Madilynn with Tugger - I think she is enjoying this more than he is.

As you can tell by the photos, she is smiling much more...which is so very fun!
She is doing pretty good holding her head up, infact...most times she wants to be sitting up taking in all the action. She really enjoys her time in her swing watching the little lambs, stars and moons go by (on the mobile), and she has a lot of fun playing on her play mat.
She is doing really well as far as sleeping goes. She goes to bed around 8pm and may get up around midnight or 1 (but not always), and 3am...then again around 5 or 6 am, and usually I can put her back down until 9 or so, which allows me at least a little more sleep before we start the day.

Here are a few photos from the past month since I am not very good at posting them as we go....

Here she is in her OSU gear...wore this for the basketball games during the tournament.

When  you see this photo...how would you describe her outfit??  (I call it her 80's work-out gear)

Now that the weather is FINALLY getting warmer, I hope she won't have to wear these too much!

Sorry...hopefully the next post won't be so long....
