What A Trip...

We recently returned from a fantastic 10 day trip with Chad's family. Chad's parents were incredibly generous and treated the entire family to a trip to Disneyland, followed by a 7 day cruise to Mexico. It truly was a dream vacation, and we had such a good time. We are incredibly grateful that we were able to make so many wonderful memories with the people who mean so much to us. Thanks again Pete and Dianne, it was the trip of a lifetime, and we love you so much!



The group at Disneyland (Paige was sleeping in the stroller next to me, and the kind stranger taking the picture accidentally left her out...oops!)





Formal night on the cruise ship. So fun!





Glass bottom boat tour in Cabo SanLucas. One of the highlights of the trip. It was so cool!





Maddie and Chad horseback riding along the beach in Mazatlan. She loved it!

All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth...To Fall Out Already!

I've been dreading the day that Maddie would loose her two front teeth for as long as she's had them. There's something about a toothless grin that says "That's it...I'm officially grown up!" The dreaded day has finally arrived, and my emotions did not disappoint. I cried. I cried hard. She thinks I'm nuts. One day she'll understand. Her two front teeth have been ridiculously loose for a month now. She has wiggled them and jiggled them, and then she finally asked (or begged, rather) Chad to take her over to his office and just pull them out. It took two trips to the office (the first time she decided she wasn't quite ready) But here she is: my sweet, grown-up daughter, and her gorgeous, toothless grin. I sure do love this cute little stinker!
