Meredith's First day of Daycare

 

This past Thursday was Mommy's first day back to work, in order to get ready we had to make sure Meredith would take a bottle ok. This photo is of Meredith's very first bottle that daddy fed her.

Madilynn likes to feed her baby a bottle while Meredith is drinking hers.

 

Mommy took both Madilynn and Meredith to daycare on Monday and Tuesday so she could see how long it would take to get everyone ready in the morning. Here are a couple photos of the girls on Thursday - Meredith's first day.

 

They had a great day! Both Monday and Tuesday went well, so when Mommy actually had to go to work on Thursday everything went really smooth, though it was a very long day for everyone! Soon we'll get into our routine, hopefully mommy's schedule will stay every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and every other Saturday...that will give everyone a day to rest in between!

 

 

Here are a couple photos of Madilynn on her first day of daycare. The girls still go to the same place, though Madilynn is now in the young toddlers room. Meredith will have the same wonderful ladies taking care of her that took care of Madilynn when she was just a baby.

 

Meredith's first trip to Amish Country

Monday we were able to go up to the Amish Country, because it is quite a drive even from New Lexington we thought it would be best to spend the night in New Lexington on Sunday so we could get up early on Monday and go.

 

When Teri asked Madilynn if she wanted to get in the sink to wash off she jumped at the chance - just look how happy she was to be in the sink! She was having a ball!!!

 

One of the main reasons we went to the Amish country (other than the doughnuts, bread, and jellies) was for Madilynn to see all the animals at Hershberger's Farm. As you can guess - she LOVED it!!!

Our first stop had to be Miller's to get doughnuts....Madilynn was able to get her hands on one, and did not let go!!! Next was on to Hershberger's Farm.

 

Big Ben...that is one BIG horse!!!

Madilynn loved saying hi to all the animals, and feeding them. She made sure to tell all of them "BYE" when we left.

Meredith seemed to enjoy the trip too....

 

 

 

 

 

Little Mommy

 

This week we have started feeding Meredith with bottles so she will be ready for daycare when mommy goes back to work. Madilynn has been such a good little mommy, feeding her baby while Meredith is getting her bottle.

Color Run - So Fun!

Last night mommy went to Cincinnati and stayed the night with her friends....

she said they needed to get ready to do the Color Run early Saturday morning.

 

(I hope she brings that tutu home for me to wear!)

 

 

Mommy said she had a great time with her ONU friends and was so glad she went, even though she got a little messy. She does recommend doing the Color Run if it ever comes to your town! So Fun!!

Fun at Slate Run!

 

Yep, that's Madilynn milking a cow!

The guy kept asking if anyone else wanted to do it - and Madilynn did - mommy on the other hand wanted nothing to do with it! She is definitely her father's daughter!!!

Pumpkin Patch 2012

Sunday we were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather and go to a Pumpkin Patch. This is the first time Madilynn has gone to a Pumpkin Patch - we went to Renick's just north of South Bloomfield on 23 - we all had a great time!

Enjoy the photos - I'll warn you...there are a ton!

 

 

They were finally able to get Madilynn to go through the little "maze" - but as you can see from the picture below - she didn't want to put her hands down - made it difficult since even she needed to crawl through it!

 

Papaw helped her find her very first favorite pumpkin....

It was just her size!

 

 

Despite all the big orange pumpkins she saw she still loved the little green ones...

 

Meredith seemed to enjoy her time at the pumpkin patch too...

 

 

Madilynn and cousin Ericka...

 

Matt and Jami... 

 

She really enjoyed the little slide they had...

 

 

We had such a great time!

We even have a little green pumpkin at home to remember our day...a little surprised we didn't end up with more than one!

 

Looking forward to taking the girls again next year!!!
