What's New!

Yep, having another person to write about has set our blog back WAAAAY farther than we wanted it to! Instead of trying to go back and fill in all of the blanks right away we've decided to start where we are right now and then back fill as we have time...

So, read about what we're up to now and then check below for links to past months that we've updated :-)

First Birthday Party

The big day was finally here! Even though Madeline's first birthday was last Saturday, we waited to have the party until today so that everyone could come. Godmother (Aunt) Alyssa came from Cincinnati, and Uncle Keith, Godfather (Uncle) Nick & Kate came from Denver! Great Uncle Marv, Great Aunt Kim, Cousin Greta, Great Aunt Janet & Great Grandma Weiers were there too :-)She got her favorite for dinner - Mac & Cheese!Then it was time for cake! At first she didn't really know what to do...
She started picking at it...but after she got her first taste she really dug in! After the cake was cut & everyone got some, we gave her her own piece - what a mess! She had a blast with the cake, but then it was time to get cleaned up and open presents.
She got new books and a dress from Marv, Kim & Greta.
A new Xavier sweatshirt from Godmother Alyssa.She got a new yellow onesie from Godfather Nick & Kate.Stackers from Aunt Melanie.She got a Minnesota Twins jersey (Dad got one too!) and a pink camping chair from Grandma Judy.A new dress from Great Uncle Herb & Great Aunt Nancy.She got a First Birthday picture frame from Great Grandma Shirley.Wow, all this stuff, plus all of the gifts she opened on her real birthday last Saturday!
We think she might be a little spoiled...
and hope her first words are Thank You!
We're truely blessed to have such giving Family and Friends :-)

Watch our new house being built!
