Aunt Melanie's Graduation Mass

Aunt Melanie is graduating from High School next Friday and today they had a special Mass for her at church. Madeline snuggled Melanie after church and then took a nice picture with Aunt Melanie and Grandma Judy.

Flying Princess!

When Aunt Melanie went to Florida a few months ago, she bought Madeline a pink Princess dress at Disney World. Madeline loves all of the ruffles on the dress. She also loves it when Daddy takes her "Flying". So, when Grandma Judy & Dave were out and about today and saw these little fairy wings, they knew they were just perfect for our little flying princess :-) I bet we'll get more use out of these around Halloween!

Lasagna & Applesauce

Today Madeline had lasagna for the first time - she loved it! After getting all messy with the lasagna, she had some applesauce for dessert - her favorite :-)
What a mess! But she cleans up pretty well :-)

Shiny Floor

Mommy mopped the kitchen floor today, so of course Madeline had check out how shiny it was! it was pretty slippery, so she fell on her tummy as soon as she started crawling on it - but, as you can see it didn't seem to bother her one bit :-)

Uncle Keith

Uncle Keith has been visiting from Colorado. It has been so fun to have him around for the last couple of days. We couldn't pass up the chance for a picture of Madeline and her uncle Keith, so we just had take one before he left :-) We'll miss him, but he'll be back at the end of June to help us celebrate Madeline's birthday and Aunt Melanie's graduation!

Jumping

Lately Madeline has been going crazy in her jumper! Here she is mid jump... We all laugh when she jumps and that just makes her jump more :-)

We also video taped her jumping - We'll try and get the video uploaded soon!

Sarah's Wedding

Today one of Mommy's best friends, Sarah, got married. We drove all the way to Shawano, Wisconsin, where Sarah grew up. The drive wasn't too bad - only about 4 1/2 hours. Grandma Judy came with us to help watch Madeline. While mom was getting her hair done for the wedding, Grandma took Madeline swimming at the pool in our hotel :-) We got all dressed up for the wedding. Sarah looked so pretty in her wedding dress! Sarah's little girl, Grace, was the flower girl - Madeline loves flowers :-) Grace loved seeing Madeline and gave her big hugs! We can't wait to see all of them again :-)

Softball

Well, Madeline isn't quite big enough to start playing softball yet, but since we're back in Minnesota, Mom can play on her old team again :-) The team is made up of Grandma, some of her sisters (Madeline's Great Aunts) and some of our cousins! This was the first time all 4 of the Deutsch girls got to play on the same night
(Mom, Grandma, Aunt Alyssa & Aunt Melanie). The girls won the game - it was so fun!!!

Another Day...

Another day of unpacking. Thankfully the unpacking will go much faster than the packing. Since we're only staying with Grandma Judy until we find a place of our own, we're just putting all of our boxes into Grandpa Ron's old motorcycle shop for storage. We'll take out what we need, but keep most of it ready to move into a new house! Madeline watched from the Pak 'N Play. Wow, that's a lot of stuff! After we finished we went to Belle Plain for German Days. Great Aunt Annie was there to watch our cousin Mitch Paradise wrestle (He's a professional wrestler!). Aunt Alyssa was there too :-) It was exciting - Mitch won!

We're Here!

We made it! Two days and about 850 miles later we made it from Ohio to Minnesota. Since the move happened so quickly, we weren't able to look for a new house before we moved, so we'll be staying with Grandma Judy until we find something we like :-) Soon after we arrived, so did the semi with all of our stuff. We're ready to start unpacking! Madeline cheered us on while she played in the buggy :-)
